Bargirls and night workers asked for their opinion as Prayut's politics' questions come to Walking Street

PATTAYA: -- Thais working in Walking Street, South Pattaya, on Tuesday night were asked to give their opinion on politics and the future of the country.

 

The move followed after Pattaya people showed a big slice of indifference to the general's much vaunted survey.

 

The four questions were posed by PM Prayut Chan-ocha in May but only 700 people bothered to respond to the survey at the Bang Lamung Damrongtham Center.

 

So district chief Naris Niramaiwong had the bright idea to bring the political process to the night workers of Walking Street.

 

He felt they couldn't get out for one reason or another in the daytime so it was better to catch them at night.

 

His team of civil servants set up a table and any bargirl or other worker could show their ID and give their opinion.

 

The nationwide exercise has drawn criticism from some quarters that it is just a means of enabling the ruling military government to remain in power by giving them more legitimacy.

 

The questions are:

 

Do you think the next election will bring a government with good governance?

 

What should happen if it does not govern well?

 

Elections are an important part of the democratic process. Is it correct merely to give importance to elections without consideration for the future of the country in areas such as national strategy and reform?

 

Do you think political groups displaying inappropriate behavior deserve a chance to run in elections? If they are elected, who should solve the problem and how?

 

Sophon Cable TV reported the story on Facebook though no figures were given for the number of Pattaya night workers who bothered to stop and give their opinions.

They're perfectly entitled to an opinion, but they're hardly a cross-section of Thai society. This exercise was ridiculous if it is not followed up by similar efforts in all sectors of greater Pattaya and include a wide variety of people.

The PM may have good intentions, but the road to hell, as they say, paved

with good intentions....

Ecclesiastes 1:9

All things are wearisome; Man is not able to tell it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing. That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one might say, "See this, it is new "? Already it has existed for ages Which were before us.…

I would like to see the numbers on how many showed their ID card and gave their opinion. My guess is ZERO.

I like how the questions are worded. Very negative.

For example.

What should happen if it does not govern well?

If it was positive shouldn't it ask 

What are looking forward to seeing under the new govt? Etc etc.

Typical politican. Lol

What do you think that they think after authorities ordering bars and disco to close at 3 am, no prostitutes, raiding bars in soi 6,  etc? They certainly won't dare to tell their real opinion if they are asked their ID !! With a military junta behind...and the so-called lese-majesty law threatening everybody even if they just express themselves ... 

What a joke !

Yeah, very bizarre questions, very leading lol.

 

I would translate all the questions to: if the red shirts win the election should the military stop them again? A) yes. B) yes.

700 people responded :cheesy: Pull the other one.

Answering these questions honestly could lead to imprisonment.

Is Walking Street at night-time the place to ask these questions ?

Is the type of person in Walking Street in any way qualified to answer ?

Maybe a question about corruption should be slipped in.

giving your opinion in this country can get you arrested. At the level of working people politics will make no difference to their lives, it doesn't matter who is in power they just aren't a section of interest, until election time that is. Why risk showing your ID and giving an opinion that the army doesn't like, you could end up on their radar.

Politicians and prostitutes are the same, one is just legal here and the other not.

Your correct, politicians are banned from meeting together any gathering is illegal.

 

But 40+ girls in a Go-Gò bar appears to be fine.......for now.

Yeah, but. . .

 

The questions are loaded to get the replies the junta wants to justify clinging on to power. The question is: are the Thai people smart enough to realise this?

(Get  ready to duck, moderators!).
