Thailand needs more time

Re: "Too many non-elected representatives", Letters, August 28.
If members of both the US Senate and House of Representatives are meant to “do the people’s will”, as John Arnone suggests, why have two legislative bodies at all?
There is a reason for everything in this world. Even though I agree with many of John’s opinions, I insist that the problems we have in Thailand are not exactly the same as those elsewhere. We need time to grow and become mature enough to do the same things an ideal democracy should do.
The biggest problem we face is that our politicians, instead of being selfless and doing their jobs for the good of the country, are doing exactly the opposite.
