A very good analysis of the part of the equation we don't discuss here, but why do all these people refuse to acknowledge, despite multiple conviction of vote buying by a myriad of people, that Thaksin has bought the rural vote through the local power structure? In areas where feudal barons have broken with Thaksin, despite being just as rural and just as poor, they no longer rever Thaksin. Why is that? Its because the vote the way they are told to. Just like they put on red shirts and get on buses to Bangkok to show how popular he is and how the â??Bangkok Eliteâ? is against them.
