In 2015:-

 

"Democracy will never die from Thailand because I am a democratic soldier but I stay in power because I want democracy to survive” - General Prayuth Chan-O-Cha

The biggest piggy bank in any country is the Treasury, which is why the corrupt all want to get their hands on it. Dictators steal it outright, in democracies the rich bankroll the politicians to deliver it to them, in quasi democracies the politicians buy votes to get their own hands on it.

 

The constitution here is always being changed to ensure various groups can hang on to power...and control the treasury. Controlling the treasury creates not millionaires but billionaires, of course regardless what parasite gets control the country always eventually goes bankrupt.

 

It is always about follow the money.
