Political big shots driving our country to ruin

In Thailand, whenever the political situation is near boiling point, and the divided hoi polloi are on the verge of killing each other, political big shots and rabble-rousers always have their family members flee the country.

The wives and kids will be recalled only when it’s time to pick up the pieces – from the ruins of the conflagration that these people started. 
That is why these troublesome politicians are so much despised here. That is also why democratic development in Thailand has been merely an empty word during the past 80 years. 
The world should begin to grasp what is really happening here. And the international media should start pointing their accusing fingers in the right direction.
