Why does Thailand need an election agency? Because all political parties and their canvassers are upright and honest?

"...more rights to officials than candidates..."

 

Err, excuse me guys, but what rights do the voters have (other than Last Rites) ???

Boy how did we miss this one coming at us like a freight train? More power to officials impossible. Are we being led down the garden path. Indubitably. 

Is it snowing outside. I can feel a snowjob inside. 

Whilst Thailand runs an unelected Government,  250 unelected Senators and an unelected Premier for the people by the Junta, anything said  is only a smoke screen , bearing in mind that Thailand carries more Senators than the required amount, if you take the 74 in Australia, a country far bigger in planning and logistics,  with a population of only 25 million. ..........................................................
