Popular Post IMA_FARANG Posted February 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2015 In any Democracy the necessary quilification for a "free and fair" election is: A compentant fuctioning system of political parties free from corruption and with honest politicians running it.. An educated electorate. And an electorate who can not be "bribed" or influenced by politicians due to fear of the consequences of their vote. Now, do you really think that description fits Thailand? I don't. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was exposed a few months back on AsiaCorrespondent as having a website started a week before the coup registered to Noppadon Kannika who stated on his Linkdin profile that his current employer was the Royal Thai Army. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't. Or at least free media which can't be bought or pressured, independent courts and police. If that is working it would filter out corrupt politicians.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldiablo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 An opinion poll being conducted by a company with ties to the army,how convenient. Only someone like Costas would have faith in such a poll being a true reflection of how people truly feel.

(and maybe some influential military types?) https://masterpoll.wordpress.com/about/people-working-together-in-academia/ is their web site If they are trained in research, and this is the script they are giving out (the original post), wouldn't they feel embarrassed?

Popular Post Alwyn Posted February 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) What a coincidence that all 100 polls/surveys has exactly the same outcome as the generals thoughts Some might think so - Costa and Rubl and their mates but it's not a coincidence that the Community Happiness Association which runs all of these surveys (all of which survey almost the same number of "people" - between 500 and 700) was started just after the Junta elected their General as PM. It's also not a coincidence that the director of this association also owns the domain names to the associations websites, is employed by the Royal Thai Army.

lungmi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) It is not clear yet how the community leaders found out what the people want. Any links with details? Remarks from the countryside. We had crackdowns by police and soldiers for three men in my village. Two were well known recruiters for red shirts in Bangkok before/ the victims were the poorest of the poorests. At the same time they were the biggist loan sharks in our area. The army and the police took them out of "service". My village people: A heave of a sigh of relief. Our village leaders too. The third man was innocent, something with his ID card was not correct. A remark from the people in my area, for the rest I'm ignorant. Clean a little bit first, and than people can elect someone.
