tezzainoz Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) waste of time not official boxs or papers ...so all void .............but gave them something to do:blink: Not matter, I think if even void it will help see how the people feel This was not an election But a chance for the people to decide do they want 1) Taksin in for a dictatorship, as there was only 1 major party to vote for 2) A chance for a better Thailand by getting rid of all the corrupt politicians on both sides As we have idea which one will get the most response, so we need to wait Wife was told by a friend whose sister was working in a polling booth counters where amazed how many blank voting forms where put into the boxes. Just maybe you can fool most Thai's some of the time But I will be happy when you can not fool the Thai people all of the time Except if your the one we are counting on to get Thailand moving and you can not even put your vote into the right box If she is the PM does she not know how to vote and need to ask someone to show her soory I am so stupid This has been the way she has run the Government for the last 2 years Edited February 2, 2014 by tezzainoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yunla Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 A powerful gesture of solidarity and defiance. Despite the fact it will be nulled, it shows the spirit of democratic people, the proverbial 'flame of hope' is burning bright in events like the OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitom Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Cute Thai home made ballot boxes and plastic packing tape. Too bad the constitutional court will rule that they don't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyCat Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It showed that people wanted to vote but were not allowed to exercise their own rights for a vote by some guy who decided that people of his district will not vote. Disgusting really. Some guys in power trying to take away peoples right for a vote, even it could be blank or NO vote....this is not a democracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickirs Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It showed that people wanted to vote but were not allowed to exercise their own rights for a vote by some guy who decided that people of his district will not vote. Disgusting really. Some guys in power trying to take away peoples right for a vote, even it could be blank or NO vote....this is not a democracy It also showed that the EC is incapable of meeting any real challenge to prevent voting interference and finding any solutions to assure voters can vote. The EC needs to be reformed so that it cannot act independently of voter needs and disrepect the electorial process. And for those voters who were blocked from voting, don't ever count on them voting Democrat in the future. The PTP thanks the Democrats for handing over their voters.
