ZhouZhou Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sadly the poll results inThailand can be likened to red cells and white cells in the blood stream with the white cells representing PTP. The predominance of white cells simply indicates that there is a serious infection which if not treated will lead to the death of this nation. i think you are wrong. it shows how healthy the body is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yaowapa secured 67,101 votes while Kingkarn received 21,372 votes. Taveesak received 2,456 votes and Taveep 977 . Yaowapa was elated by the result, saying that she had little time for the election campaign. She attributed the victory to Pheu Thai’s national policies. look at that dear fellow forum members. 67k votes vs. 21k for the runner up of the Democrat Party I think that is a pretty good sign that people support the government No. I think that it's a pretty good sign that people believe the Shinatwatra Hoax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will she find the time to look after the constituency? Height of sheer bloody arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, did k. Yaowapa receive the same number of votes as her chauffeur before? Not a lot in it. Pheu Thai may be set for win in Chiang Mai Warattaya Chhailangka The Nation on Sunday The Pheu Thai Party candidate appeared to have won the MP by-election in Chiang Mai's Constituency 3, according to preliminary results. Chiang Mai election director Suchart Jaipakdee said the vote count in all 293 voting stations was finished. Initial results found that Pheu Thai's Kasem Nimmolrat beat the Democrat Party's Kalyakorn Jiamkitwattana by a wide margin. Police radio reported 71,365 votes for Kasem, 18,682 votes for Kalyakorn and over 1,100 votes for Pheu Pandin candidate Anucha Roontranon. While 98,245 people came to vote, 1,011 ballots were invalid. The by-election was held to replace Pheu Thai's Chinnicha Wongsawat, whose voting right was revoked for filing a false financial statement. -- The Nation 2012-06-03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rich teacher Posted April 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2013 Good to see the Dems used their 'Bangkok model'. You know the one that helped the PT vote improve by 10% to their highest ever total in Bangkok, a supposed Dem stronghold. If they continue to follow this model (Thaksin/ red bashing with absolutely no focus on their policies) in the next general election, they are likely to perform even worse than their pitiful 159 in 2011. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Good to see that some people still can't count. What seems important in this particular by-election in an absolute stronghold of the Shinawatra clan is the fact that k. Yaowapa did receive less votes than her chauffeur. It would seem that some voters trying to voice their discontent rather not vote than vote another parties candidate. Similar to the Bangkok governor election where the government Pheu Thai party candidate got less votes for the same reason. all in all I really wonder how many votes my favorite would have gathered if only a party would have put him up as candidate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My count was ~25,000 including minor candidates, and that is voters registered in that area who bothered to cast a ballot. I think the conclusion to be drawn is that, even on their home ground, PTP & the S-clan may win the majority (a foregone conclusion really), but there are still a large minority who are willing to stand up and vote another way.

At least people in ChiangMai district 3 didn't resort to pure intimidation like in SiSaKet. Now back to the overwhelming victory of k. Yaowapa in her very own district. Lots of votes even without campaigning. Less votes than her chauffeur but that's to be swept under the rug and to be forgotten.

Now we know who to blame for the win of k. Yaowapa. Those military figures, making sure one of the Amply Rich gets less votes than a down-to-earth lower class chauffeur to muddle the fact of an elite figure winning.

Johpa Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What a headline it would have been if it read " Yaowapa LOSES Chiang Mai by-election " but no chance of that. Big brother made Yingluck head of PTP and 30 days later she was " PM' at least in name so is there a chance Yaowapa is now " puppet PM in Waiting " ? I hope Thaksin has some heavy duty puppet strings. If that's her 'elated' face. He's going to need them. Yingluck got the looks. I wonder what this one got..... at a guess the bulldog temperament Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 Ascribing a bulldog temperament is being too kind. I believe this is the sister involved in the land encroachment case in Sankampeng some 25 years ago that terminated in the death of the local school head who had led the local protest against the land encroachment upon public lands. But say hey, the Sakdina system never died, it just morphed from being based upon land to being based upon capital, similar to the no-feudalism that masquerades as democracy in the USA. The Clintons, the Shinawats, the extended Bush family, I see little difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the result was pretty much a foregone conclusion, and that this is an electorate of the home town of both the PM and the owner of her political party, and which is being given and promised populist benefits in excess of most of the country, means that it would be risky to extrapolate the result to the rest of the country's voters. Sorry if that contrasts with your simplistic view. Even the telegraph pole would have won for PTP here. And it wouldn't have needed to show up either.

hellodolly Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 saying that she had little time for the election campaign Hopefully she may find more time, for attending Parliament unlike her sister, now that she has been elected ? Or will she perhaps be an absentee-MP, like their brother, the absentee-PM & Big Boss ? More than likely use skype. I feel it is a sad thing to see her win. But on the brite side she has what it takes to tell her brother where to go. Will she that is the question to be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidhere Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Chiang Mai elections will always go to the Shinawatra clan. As one would expect. Which begs the question, why do they always seem to cheat in elections in which they are pretty much assured of winning without cheating? The other paper informs that the Election Commission has completed its investigation of alleged cheating by Yaowapa in this by-election to replace the previous MP, Kasem, who was coincidentally Yaowapa's chauffeur and only resigned from his MP seat once Yaowapa's five year banning from politics, for electoral fraud, had lapsed and she had become eligible again to run. Seems in this by-election, Yaowapa was charged with illegally transporting voters to polling stations. If found guilty, as a repeat offender of electoral fraud, Yaowapa faces a ten year banning from politics, as well as related criminal charges. The EC is to release its findings next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidhere Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 "Yaowapa was elated by the result, saying that she had little time for the election campaign. She attributed the victory to Pheu Thais national policies." Interesting remark from the candidate for this Constituency MP seat. Mind you, a 'safe seat' tends to make people somewhat careless towards their constituency, especially when members there keep on asking for democratic involvement in selecting their candidate. If guilty of electoral fraud, she might have attributed her victory to that, but, as said, the victory is really simply attributable to her surname in Chiang Mai, which, by itself, assured her win. Why the continued to compulsion to cheat is mystifying, particularly given they've already tasted the repercussions that come with their previous cheating. Oh well, I suppose it doesn't really matter to her. If she is banned again, she can have another of her domestic help sit in her MP seat like before.
