Utley Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thailand in limbo after election annulled; economy suffering "The Constitutional Court judges ruled in a 6 to 3 vote on Friday that the election was unconstitutional because voting failed to take place on the same day around the country. Anti-government protesters had stopped voting in about a fifth of constituencies, and in 28 of them voting was not possible at all because candidates were unable to register." In most Western countries, people who prevent others from voting are immediately arrested. But since I am not Thai, I just don't understand the "Thai" way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yes....maybe a little bit of "Thai idiosyncrasy" but you have not considered the scale and magnitude. You simply can not arrest that many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply can not arrest that many people. You don't have to arrest all of the protesters - just the instigators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
