EC says there are no political parties in Thailand now

Better to get your entire sewerage system maintained and overhauled, rather than having to keep cleaning the shit out of the bowl

[Eric Loh]

Thai politics is like a bucket of sewage - the Generals are giving it another stir so some new pieces of excrement can float to the surface.

Your analogy, although rather vulgar has its good points. I shall have to continue in the same vein.

Think of Thai politics as a toilet that hadn't been flushed for a while due to a blockage by PTP (Political Toilet Paper).

Soon people started to complain about the stink but no-one was actually prepared to get their masks on and their hands dirty and do something about it.

Finally, along comes the Military Janitorial Company and acting in the best interests of the people, they flush the toilet (with powerful Coup Cleaner) and naturally as things sometimes happen there are still the odd klingons floating around.

However the stink has been alleviated and life starts to get back to normal.

The generals will continue to clean & stir and some nasty new faeces will appear from time to time until they have eradicated all the problems.

Even better than a 'straight flush'

Think half of the stink was left behind by the '06 coup and Ahbisit. Ok the other half from Taksin.

Why is it so many people here support the General's actions but never question where his enormous wealth comes from?

[xminator]

Wow a country that has no politicians

No scavengers to bleed the country dry

Thailand will recover financially in no time

This alone will have made the army taking over worth while

Yeah, because military juntas have such great track record with various countries financens...
