re Feb 2 election Thailand

I like charismatic leaders, but they aren't necessarily good human beings at all, which is the issue with any reform. Reform without revolution is always slow, somewhat like '2 steps forward, one step back' all the time, but as long as movement is forward, then all is well for the future. A reasonable step forward is to have the election. Votes can usually only be bought if people are poor, uneducated and disadvantaged. The job of government, whether red or yellow, is to ensure people aren't poor, uneducated or disadvantaged.
