‘Flawed’ approaches behind the Kingdom’s failure in democracy
Said it more than once, doubt we will see elections anytime soon, if ever...
Corruption is so ingrained in Thailand, it will never be eliminated entirely at the top.
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/national/30318956The “four questions” recently posed to the people by the prime minister concerning future elections and good governance once again suggested that the military-installed government will be here to stay and there is no guarantee the country will see democratic elections next year, the experts said.
“Considering his four questions and the use of the Article 44, I would say there is a slim chance that there will be an election next year,” Siripan said.
The academic said that Thai democracy had been dubbed by foreign scholars as “a failed transition to democracy” due to approaches that always strayed from true democratic practices.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Yes corruption ts everywhere, but in more developed countries it is a problem not the system. I am unqualified to speak about the situation in Thailand, but in Cambodia corruption is not viewed as a problem, but those those who speak out against it are considered the problem.
