Nuff said.
Another closed-minded know-it-all on UM who sees the world exclusively in black and white. Literally. I never voted for George W. Bush. But I did vote for Bill Clinton once. And for McCain. Palin is a dipsh!t -- a very poor choice and a contributing factor why McCain lost.
Be honest KHONDAHM, I offended you when I said Obama was a loser. Right?It appears I'm being proven correct nearly every day.
As very few of us will be voting in any Thai elections, we have no impact. The sooner Thais are allowed to vote for their leaders, the better.
"When I first came here to live (in early 2007)..." wow, a fully-fledged expert in such a short time. Amazing.

The post coup election was held in December 2007, with, as you say, PPP wining close to a majority of seats. But as in any democracy, close ain't good enough, so they needed other party(ies) to form a coalition government. This was duly done, with Samak as PM.
12 months after the election, and with 2 intervening PPP administrations, for whatever reasons (both good and bad), MPs from some of those coalition parties decided to jump ship.
Just as PPP previously had the numbers, the Democrats now did. Accordingly, they now have the majority in Parliament, and are the government.
Excellent description of facts Jack!Users browsing this forum: BanPhu and 2 guests
