Obviously you haven't been paying attention. There has not been an election for Prime Minister since our Prime Minister Taksin was ousted by the coup.

The entire reason the red shirts are doing what they are doing is so a vote will be had.

All the rhetoric you invent cannot change the facts.

Erm ... legally-elected PM-Thaksin resigned in January-2006, and was only appointed-caretaker PM, at the time of the coup in September-2006. After that I and many others clearly recall an election in December-2007, which resulted in first PM-Samak, and then PM-Somchai, and currently PM-Abhisit ?

You might wish to re-check your 'facts' before posting again, they seem to be past their 'use-by' date. :)

The OP doesn't understand parliamentary elections. You see, the parliament elects the PM, not the people. Almost all parliamentary systems depend on the formation of a coalition of parties to gain a majority of votes for the election of the PM. Phak Puea Thai failed to put together a coalition after the failed terms of Somchai and Samak, even though PPT has a 39%-36% lead in the Parliament over the Democrats. Abhisit was the elected choice of the majority of the MP. If you need another example, look at Israel's current PM. He is a member of the minority party, Likud, not the majority party, Kadima, but was elected PM, when the majority failed to put together a coalition.

As a non-Thai - I am not allowed to vote. Poll nullified based on this technicality. :)

So Thai are not allowed to vote either.

All they want 1 vote per person.Why is the Elite so scared of that?

They have the vote now. See previous post on the actual electoral process.

Wrong, the government was appointed by itself and every effort made to form a coalition by the surviving democratically elected govt. was disrupted by the self appointed opposition judges and faKE SELF APPOINTED GOVT.

There was NO democratic vote by the people.

Seems to be more of the same. As this topic is already being discussed on several other places and so far nothing new is reported it is now closed.
