samak Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 PPP alone just 36% but nearly half of the seats! coalition over two thirds of votes and seats! personally i would have prefered that the Democrats win but those are the facts! shame on the small parties who go for the best return on investment and would collaborate with any party if the return fits!

Flashermac Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 A Thai colleague put it best years ago. The Democrats are the only real political party, with a history and a platform. The rest are gangs formed only to gain money and power. The Democrat Party goes back to the early 1940s. Some of the others ... to last month.

Mentors Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 PAD asks soldiers for protection BangkokPost.com) - People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) core leaders handed a letter to First Army Commander Lt-Gen Khanit Sapitak, asking soldiers to help protest the PAD supporters as Pol Gen Salang Bunnag threatens to seal off the Government House to block supplies of food and water for the protesters. PAD core leaders Chaiwat Sinsuwong, Karun Sai-ngarm and Somboon Thongburan handed the letter to Lt-Gen Khanit at the First Army Region office, after Pol Gen Salang said he would lead officers to surround the Government House on Saturday. They claimed that the group has the intention to stir unrest and spark violence in the country. They said that their act is to prevent bloody clashes, like the one that took place on Oct 7, which left two people killed and more than 400 injured.
