"please Come Back, Dr Thaksin, All Is Forgiven"

[Martin]

Dear Dr Thaksin,

We know you were a very greedy goose, and you were bossy and upset all the little ducks.

But after a year of having , first, the sheepdog getting into your nest when you left it for a little while, and then the ducks quacking away about a new constitution, but doing nothing effective about our feeding, we realise that we need back the goose who laid the golden eggs (greedy and bossy though you were).

So please come back, so we can vote for you.

Yours sincerely,

25 million electors in the 'farmyard'.

PS Please come back and do your best, though we do realise that the economy may not be recoverable to the level you got it to before.
