Democracy is best for Thailand's economy

[piersbeckett]

Since 2006 Thailand has not had a leader with business and entrepreneurial skills !!! The downward economic trend will continue until a semblance of true democracy returns , with a leader who is an astute businessman .

But one whose working for his country and not himself so much so that the rule of law comes first; independent judiciary before elected executive and laws that prohibit dictatorship or effective dictatorship.

How can Thailand have democracy when an ex general installs himself as Thailands self elected PM ???????

The problem arises that until you nullify the military ( get it out of the picture ) Thailand will never become a proper Democracy , they will see to that and possibly the only way you will get rid of the military is a return to 1992.

What democracy? Thailand really never had one, what it was are an autocraty won by paid electors. I have seen that in the 90this and so it was going on, under T it was just marketing expenses. before Thailand will be able to have a democracy it needs to change the attitude of mind. Sorry to say so.
