Free and open elections’ – such as the ones we’ve been having in the West for decades, where:
Everyone quacks, but only money acts?
A candidate without the financial support of economic powers has no chance whatsoever?
A person can legally become president of a major country even though he actually received fewer votes than his opponent?
The only candidates who stand a chance to win are the ones who, once elected, will systematically kowtow to the higher financial and economic powers? The most powerful country is so devoted to serving the rich that it doesn’t even have a real left-wing party?
“Little” people end up voting for hysterical extreme-right parties that promote racism, xenophobia, homophobia and other forms of hatred, simply because they feel that these politicians are the only ones who speak the truth?
Sycophantic populism and hypocrisy have become so common in politics that they’re regarded as normal? The media belong to immensely rich people who know exactly how to use them and for what purpose?
Give us a break, Theresa, will ya? And go sweep clean your own glass house before you tell others what is right and wrong in politics.

The woman who ended the British right to free speech and free thought is lecturing Prayut on democracy?
Now don’t get me wrong: Prayut does need a talking to, but not from Theresa “the appeaser” May.
Just how delusional are these people?

Britain is telling Thailand to hold “free and open elections”, while at the same time they offer asylum to wanted criminals that used their wealth to buy elections in the past.

The reality is that trade is more important than anything else, whatever is said for public consumption.

Prayut is full of it. Thailand is never going to receive another chance to freely elect anyone – other than him.
