What would the results be if the poll was taken in the northeast and Chiang mai??

I didnt see the part of the story where the northeast and Chiang Mai were excluded from this pole.

What would the results be if the poll was taken in the northeast and Chiang mai??

Is this a pro PTP poster, ??? I expected a few would be on disbelieving, as these few will never let it drop----move on.

No need for a poll up there. The pollsters can just ask the puyai-baan what his villagers think, dissent and thinking for yourself is strictly forbidden in a red village.

[Thai at Heart]

I am surprised it wasn't 99% like north Korea.

Small mercies I suppose.

[Roadman]

Whatever. It shows that those with a functioning brain in their head and even a minute touch of optimism can see that the coup was needed and the very minor if not even inconsiderable inconvenience of publicly expressing political extremes for a short time is exactly that - of no consequence.

Let's hope u are just as optimistic in 6 months and that the army hasn't put thousands into their so called re-education camps.

[wave]

Fail to see the point of this or any poll at the present time.

When it is a crime to disseminate information that would be construed as negative or opposing the coup how can polls such as these be taken seriously?

It's a terrifying concept, the re-eduction camp. However, when a significant tranche of the populus have been conditioned to think that only a Shinawatra is suitable as a leader(even though they have been proven to be corrupt, nepotistic, self serving mafioso, which have direct negative impact on the citizens lives, wellbeing and future opportunities) some form of corrective education must be carried out to reverse the years of Thaksin sponsored brainwashing.

I thought criticism of the Junta was not allowed so hardly a surprising result?

So love or hate what the army has done,it had to be done,there was no other way

to find a resolution to the problem that has been created in Thailand,by greedy,selfish,

corrupt MP s ,who would rather cut their hands off than work together for the good of

the people and the country.

More good has been done since the army has took over,than has happen in years,I

just hope they stop long enough to implement laws so that the past problems never

occur again,strict laws against corruption,nepotism and the end to populist policies

which were just created as vote buying,using government money.

Fair comment. But Implementing laws are far different to actually enforcing them and it only seems to happen under certain circumstances here not as a matter of course. It is unlikely to happen here where backsliding is part of the culture.

Already the junta are falling in to the old ways with their own populist policies ,World Cup, movie tickets, etc - it's a standard buy the hearts and minds. The Americans think it works until it blows right back in their faces.

Maybe some good may come of the 19th? coup, I would like to think so but realistically are things likely to much different in 2 to 3 years to what they were pre coup?

We live in interesting times.

[Skywalker69]

You mean amongst the rice farmers? The same rice farmers that finally got their rice pledge money from the Junta?

[bigbamboo]

Whether the figures are accurate you can never tell as polls can be couched in ways to get the result you want but the sentiment is straightforward enough. Most people ARE generally happy at the way the way things are progressing and that goes for up here in CM too.

[Fat Haggis]

87.12 percent said they could return to work as usual as the situation has returned to normal.

I have a small issue with this part of the poll, given that only a very small percentage of the entire population was prevented from going to their work in the first place, the rest of the country outside of Bangkok had no issues with people going about their daily business or their work.

So out of this part of the poll, 1423.5 people were unable to go about their daily work due to the situation ?? Sorry fellas, but I have to raise the bullshit flag on this part.

Why is it that you never see the leading questions on these polls and just the results?

[djjamie]

That's right and this poll is of no surprise. Why would people want the protests to continue and daily bloody attacks on innocent protestors and children to be carried out with impunity? Both sides of the political divide don't want to see that and I am sure the majority are actually happy there is progress on making the murderers accountable for the killings. Who would not want the murderers to be accountable. 7% maybe?

This majority will be ignored though, demonized and held in contempt by that 7% because it does not suit the PTP agenda. The comments above have proven that. The 2007 constitution referendum proved that. The opposition to the amnesty proved that. Every single poll that has gone against the PTP have proven that. When the PTP or another Shin party lose an election it will be proven again. They only ever accept a poll, an election, a referendum when it suits their agenda.

7% of the population are hard core red shirts so this 93% might well be right. If anything it should be higher because a lot of red shirts now understand the sincerity of the Junta have have stood down from politics while a lot have been told to just sit and wait until the next election. Though this shows that there are always a fanatical few that prefer the blood stained 6 months previously to the peace and return to democracy that is forthcoming.

That is why they are called "hard core". That is why they are described as fanatical.

If we had a vote of all TVF members I am sure I would be with the vast majority to say thankyou for nothing PTP bye.

You just happened to be an Unfortunate person that backed a horse from a Manchester milk cart to win the Derby.

Hint - Don't take Chalerms picks in a horse race either.

Chalerm said that Dr Narong had backed the wrong horse and that he would face the consequence once the government is back in power.

He was wrong on all 3 counts, but then when was a PTP deputy PM ever right.

Very pessimistic. No?

Try optimism, it will make you feel better. In the meantime, give the General the benefit of the doubt. Finally, we have a light at the end of the tunnel. With the Shinawatras and the PTP all we had was utter darkness.
