Egypt, Myanmar and North Korea...a template for a better Thailand?
Suthep's plans to bring on a military coup and install a Military Junta in Thailand to protect the rights and rule of the Minority who live in Bangkok really are irrational and ill advised ideas.
I don't think it is a good idea to emulate the Military of Egypt, Myanmar or North Korea in terms of having a better or less corrupt Thailand. It's the sure-fire way to make things a lot worse.

Majority Rule, Minority Rights & Shared Decision Making for Thailand's only future as a stable nation
The above notion mooted by Bill Clinton: majority rule, minority rights & shared decision making would go a long way towards resolving Thailand's issues at the moment. I don't think Thailand is more corrupt than any other country. Corruption is a natural enough human flaw not limited by borders or systems or races or classes or generations on earth at all or in any way.
You don't have to live in a democracy to see the lasting value of the above general rule in terms of having a peaceful and hopeful society. China is doing it through a very different cultural apparatus than democracy, but it is still doing it through their own forms of representation and it is working.
The current destabilisation of the Thai state for minority interests is very anti-historical, moving society backwards at high speed...yet there is no safe place to stop back there. This is what is so perplexing about the uprising. It can have no future except destabilisation.

I think that now I have thought it through, I don't need to further comment. ("Yeah!" call out the audience)
