bust Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Bust - Thai people or leaders? People quite capable and will get better if they actually see democracy. Sadly they rarely do. Yes I think maybe you are correct. It seems the leaders promise it but never deliver and the people demand it but may never accept it. I guess you will never have true democracy with a flawed election system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 My Mrs insists this is all about "real democracy". I might buy that ... if it were not being led by a very undemocratic individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YimSiam Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I can only imagine the initial bewilderment soon followed by slack-jawed disbelief and thigh-slapping hilarity amongst the Myanmar, PRC, Cambodian, Laotian, Singaporean (etc) delegates when it was explained to them that Thailand was opting for cancellation and national humiliation, rather than just shooting the first row of red-shirts and getting on with things...
