The Democrats in Thailand have had enough of Democracy and proclaimed
that they do not believe in Democracy anymore. Can you believe it? They
claimed that Democracy does not guarantee majority rule! They are the
majority and always lose in a general election. So they want to do away
with Democracy and replaced with the tyranny of the minority, with the
leaders being appointed by self appointed righteous men and women who
professed that they are not corrupt while others are.
Why the Democrats want to throw away Democracy? Since 1992, they have
not won a general election. So they believe that they have the majority
but the winners of the general election are supported by the minority.
Strange that a minority can win a general election when the winners must
be the majority.
They have big turnouts in street demonstrations recently. They did want
to know that if the Red Shirts were to march in the streets, they would
make the Yellow Shirts look so small. But the Democrats are claiming
that the majority of the people are behind them. Then why not stand in
the next general election if they have the majority supporting them? The
truth, the majority, if there is, is only in Bangkok among the rich
elite. The masses of Thai electorate across the country are the majority
and this majority is not with the Democrats. The Democrats know this
and know in a democratic election they will lose as the majority of the
Thais are not with them. So they are now going to turn away from
Democracy and to install a govt by a few self appointed elite.
Down with Democracy!

But why don't the Thais practise the GRC system?
The Thais should make Bangkok (yellow shirts)a big GRC with say 80% seats. The rest of the country with the majority electorate (red shirts) should just have 20% seats.
Like that sure got majority what, tio bo?
Or the Thais should follow Matland, where a rural seat can have only 20K voters, while a urban seat can have 100K voters, except of course in reverse for the Thais lah!
That's why Matland ruling coalition Barisan Nasional can win 60% seats with only 46 % votes!
Lagi more tok kong than Sinkieland 60% votes winning 93% seats, tio bo?
If one does not know the details, everything seems so fair and fine on the surface. The dirt is beneath if one bothers to dig deep enough.
When a ruler is weak, his subjects will fight for control. No furture for this Sawadi land. It is going down the drain.
How come the Thai protest Leader Suthep (a former DPM) can get tens of thousands of Thais to the streets, even on weekdays and even occupy govt buildings? And illegally some more.
And Sinkie protest leader Gilbert (ordinary Sinkie only lah) cannot even get hundreds of Sinkies legally to protest at Hong Lim Park on a weekend?
Is it because Gilbert is ordinary?
or
unlike Thais, most Sinkies believe in the vote (or PAP) and not protests?
or
most Sinkies are happy, so nothing to protest?
or any or all of the above?
Or none of the above?
What do you think?
You must know who is behind Suthep. The king is weak? Physically maybe.

Nothing to do with Gilbert being ordinary. Even if it is Tan Jee Say, I think the outcome will still be about the same.
And that's why PAP won GE 2011 and also a clear indication that PAP will also win GE 2016.
Actually hor, 1st round Gilbert got thousands to protest at Hong Lim Park.
After that hor, Sinkies realised protests also not much use, or if at all.
That's why 2nd round, even with free food, Gilbert could not even get hundreds.
Sinkies are practical. If no use, don't do it, even with free finger food provided.
Suthep is nothing without the power behind him. Just like our politicians, without the power behind them they know that they are just ordinary citizens.
When there is power on their back, they talk differently. Watch the level of confidence and you know if they are in favour or passe.
Just let them fight among each other. Maybe thats the only way for them to learn that they must stand united and not divided if they want a better future for themselves.
Divide and Rule - an old strategy for rulers. The rulers will continue to increase in wealth and power so long as the people continue to stay divided.
