Amnesty bill to benefit Thaksin: Poll
Play
The majority of Thais, 87.2 per cent, believed that the government's amnesty bill will benefit former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, according to the ABAC Poll.
Released Sunday, the poll conducted by Assumption University showed that the majority of Thais are not convinced that the bill is meant to induce reconciliation.
A finding is 89.4 per cent of the 1,198 respondents viewed that political tensions are more severe than in the same period last year. 80.3 per cent was disappointed with the government's reaction to the current situation, saying that its action is to benefit politicians rather than the general public.
