A complete mismatch
Play
Watching the political skirmish between the reds (Thaksin's brigade) and the blues (the Democrats) is like watching a football match in which the Constitutional Court is a referee and the Election Commission and National Anti-Corruption Commission are lin
Both teams commit flagrant fouls and exchange cheap shots, but only the reds get penalised. The reds complain, but to no avail, since the referee can interpret the rules any way he pleases. The red fans have seen enough of it. They cuss the referee and call for his replacement.
Despite the preferential treatment, the blues are hopeless. They can’t match the reds, however hard they try. Now they resort to winning the match the old-fashioned way, by having the reds disbanded.
