A novel concept but it will be difficult for democracy to take hold since the Senate will be full of military men.

There is an excellent article in the Economist online, relating to the approaching farce.

I hesitate to link to it - mr google is your friend.

I see the average Thai and a lot of them seem to manage well. They all have thiere new phones and cars. Remember we have foreigners in our governments and it's accepted... why should we bother if there are rich Chinese in the Thai government when there a Muslim and other foriegners in our own?

Teacher! Teacher! Can you tell me when Muslim became a nationality?

Meanwhile, back in fair Albion, "Are you a bishop, a bankrupt, a police officer, soldier, judge or civil servant? Sorry, you can't become an MP. Nor can children, or anyone who is not a citizen of Britain or the Republic of Ireland, or a Commonwealth citizen with indefinite leave to remain."

Nae wurries Jimmy, despite your sh!te grades in geography and ignorance of British civil law and me not knowing you from Adam, I'll still sign your nomination papers. Just let uz know where you're pitching your tent, eh?

Bangkok post seems to be offline so can't read the updates.

Exit poll.

With polls closing in less than 10 minutes, PT have pissed allover the junta BTW and the Dems have placed third... where else do you out an ashtray on a motorbike? Future Forward are in 4th place with 75% of "precincts reporting" or whatever the local equivalent is.

Quelle surprise, non?

Good link, thanks.

The EC's own officlal exit poll is a tad different

Quelle surprise aussi.

Looks like the Khunpluem clan have 'delivered' Chonburi for the junta.

Well I am not taking 2 of tge Udon Map Trolls opinions on what is going on.. Maybe your followees on here need to be educated.
The Blind Leading The Blind.

So Natas, beyond your confession to not having an opinion based on the thread subject matter being something that only the locals can participate in and the outcome really only affects the locals, why are you persisting in banging on about it?

Rhetorical question (you don't have to answer it).

.... Because I fail to understand why people on here waste time on something they cannot control.
But again the world is full of bored people like yourself looking to get attention.
Nice run on sentence by the way. It was enjoyable to read.
As you were.

From Twitter: Prachatai highlights some examples of crazy EC poll numbers as reported by media last night. In some districts turnout was 184% & 218%. Some candidates got votes higher than number of registered voters....... Amazing Thailand

I thought the Baht would have weakened more with the confusion over the result

A former Thai Prime Minister smells a rat in an opinion piece in the New York Times ...

Total farce .. without independent election monitoring by ANYONE OUTSIDE THAILAND lets just say game set n match Mr O.. hes played a blinder n now all be it PT win on a vote count he will be PM as all his senator ducks are lined up paid n ready to say so ..

OMO
