Thai editorial: When mobilisation equals democracy...

Featured Replies

Suthep is a seditionist.

And corrupted and etc.

He is 100% similar to the ones he's denouncing.

To denounce a guilty person does not make you an innocent.

"To denounce a guilty person does not make you an innocent." Simple, and TRUE.

Mobilisation of forces - maybe

What I see is the increasing disengagement of the middle who appear to view "democracy" as a tool to be employed by the 2 dominant faction to achieve their own ends. Looking at both the Feb2 "event" and the Senate election we see a lower turnout why? I believe that a lot of that is the belief that democracy in Thailand is a luxury to be enjoyed by the rich and/or ruthless.

For people struggling to put food on the table pragmatism will win over politics. Sure people would like both political freedoms and economic security but given a choice will go with security and certainty. Thailand needs to redefine what democracy is, and that includes all Thais.

Even a few weeks ago I believed that Thailand would come up with an elegant Thai solution to the problems, but every day that passes, every dumb press release and each act of violence makes that less likely.
