What a pile of nonsense!
The Democrat party is the paid whore of elements of the Thai establishment who trot it out when they need a “pretty” to show the cameras. And by the way, who actually pays for the Democrats? I have asked on this forum many times, but only ever received nonsense answers. Who pays?
The party is a loooooong way past its “use by” date. Like an old, faithful dog it is time to put it out of its misery and pain.

Actually I am hoping that the Democrats are at least opposed to military rule. And perhaps within the party there have been some fractures between the elites who want Thailand to modernise, (educate and promote innovation) and those elites who want to continue to rule over uneducated serfs despite the limitations it puts on the country.
Impossible to tell, but if any party had the power to go this way, it would be a new version of the Dems.
Canuckamuck
At least the Democrats vote for their leader, like in a real democracy. You can’t say that for the Pheu Thai Party, where a criminal pulls the strings.
I guess real democracy is not needed in the Pheu Thai Party, and their supporters don’t really support a real democracy, as I never see them comment about stuff like this.

Democrat deputy leader Ongart Klampaiboon: “We need to identify who we are and we have chosen to embrace liberal democracy to move society forward.”
The fact that the Democrats have to announce that they are actually “for” democracy tells you all you need to know about them.
It amazes me how pro-junta acolytes such as yourself are so quick to criticise Pheu Thai/Thaksin for the tiniest slight, be it real or imagined, while at the same time being able to ignore the very real and egregious crimes/shortcomings of the junta/elites/Democrats.
The Democrats have spent the last 18 years doing all they can to thwart democracy.
Many people have died because of their war against democracy.
The nation has lost a great fortune for the same reason.
What a spectacular feat of self-delusion you continue to perform day after day, year after year.
I am impressed.
