Democrawhat?
http://thediplomat.com/2014/10/thailand ... d-for-you/
On his way to meetings in Europe this week, Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who still seems to believe all reporters will simply accept his word without question as if they were in the military, stopped to briefly lecture journalists. Reporters have been asking Prayuth about the junta government’s roadmap for a return to electoral democracy, a question that, like all inquiries, seems exasperating to Prayuth. In the course of his lecture, Prayuth basically let slip that, though he had earlier promised that elections would be held by October 2015, that date might have been overambitious, and Thailand actually might not have elections before 2016. Prayuth left open the possibility that even 2016 might be too soon for elections, or that elections might not happen at all.

Of course. Everyone has known this since 22 May, if not before.Prayuth left open the possibility that even 2016 might be too soon for elections, or that elections might not happen at all.
Anybody who thinks it's "business as usual" and those stupid elections are going to be held within the next 5 years or so is unbelievably naïve.
The way the Thais plaster every flat surface in the country with campaign posters and signs is completely ludicrous and absurd, by the way. Anyway, who needs "demo-krazy" when you're masters of ineptocracy???
