Thai Polls & Analysis


I was guided to a post by New Mandala on the Thai Polls 2007. Please read his analysis for indept view of the above map.

His analysis reflect grass roots opinions. Though the interim government have announced that a coalition government will have their first meeting on the 30th day after the polls, but it seems that the government are formed already & expected announcments will be done 2 weeks after New Year.

The best news I've heard is that this pollings seems to be as clean as it possibly can, though theres a lot of talk about transparency issues (ie. the pre-polling of 3 million voters a week before the 23rd).

Above all, the coup of 19th September 2006 - dubbed as the the 'coup for the rich' is reinstated by the results in the polls.

Finally it is safe for me to say that Thailand politics have enter the new world, started by the Thaksin government and it seems its here to stay.
