Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 Doesn't seem to have been exactly a "crowded field". Some significant parties, in fact whole swathes of electoral opinion, were not on the ballot. I wonder why that was? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paiman Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 They can make up whatever result they like. I just pity the general population being caught up without any way out of it, unless they start rioting, which is not really part of the Thai culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If the two main parties "vote counts" are official, why are the other parties "unofficial"???

holy cow cm Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 On 6/22/2020 at 11:06 AM, mr mr said: too all you negative nancy''s on here. seems thai people have spoken with the power of the vote. don't get your panties in a bunch because you don't like the result. Now let's just hope that no free money was given in order to secure votes. But you would figure the winners son died and that the father is the more looked up to than the other candidate, but the sad narrative is the father jumped ship as probably had an offer he could not refuse. I don't hink his son would be so happy knowing his dad is on the black side now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any complaints by any other party? Nope. Just a few TVF know-it-alls. Don't worry, bars open soon and you can pontificate to the girlies again.
