h90 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It's not over yet...the results are still fairly close in early counting:http://203.150.244.10/reports/eng/index.php that does not mean much, as some regions/small towns might ahead and heavyweights like BKK might be late. So on such things it is possible that the last counts are almost for one party...... don't use it as forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legag Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Samak reckons they have won by a larger margin than the exit polls suggest.He was coy about the return of Thaksin and admitted he would become Prime Minister. Hahaha. H**l sure he would. Gosh! He's been waiting for this. cm-happy: One word to describe a PPP victory. SHIT!!!! And full of it too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitrapaap Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Last updated December 23, 2007 12:20 a.m. PTExit polls: Thaksin allies win in Thai THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Exit polls showed that allies of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra have won Sunday's post-coup general election, an outcome likely to deepen Thailand's two-year political crisis. The polls from Thailand's two leading polling agencies, however, differed on whether the pro-Thaksin People's Power Party had won an absolute majority in the 480-seat lower house of parliament. A Dusit poll for Bangkok's Suan Dusit Rajabhat University forecast that PPP had won a majority of 256 seats, compared to 162 for the rival Democrat Party. An Abac poll for Assumption University showed that PPP had won 202 seats, falling short of an outright majority, with the Democrats taking 146 seats. The Dusit poll surveyed 341,000 voters nationwide before polling stations closed at 3 p.m. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. Abac's sampling error was not immediately released. Thaksin was ousted in a bloodless coup in September 2006 but remains popular among the rural majority. PPP campaigned on a platform of bringing Thaksin back from exile in London. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. BANGKOK, Thailand -- An exit poll showed that allies of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra have won Sunday's post-coup general election with an outright majority, an outcome likely to deepen Thailand's two-year political crisis. The People's Power Party, comprised of Thaksin's loyalists, won 256 seats in the 480-seat lower house of parliament, according to a Dusit poll conducted for Bangkok's Suan Dusit Rajabhat University. The anti-Thaksin Democrat Party won 162 seats, said the poll, which surveyed 341,000 voters nationwide before polling stations closed at 3 p.m. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Jingthing Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Its sad to see that the majority of Farangs here do not respect the Thai peoples right to democratically elect a government of their choice. We like to see them vote, we don't like who they voted for and what the likely result of this might be. Not sad. Real. Most of us favored a move towards stability and compromise. This result won't do it. Edited December 23, 2007 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selftaopath Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 No problem. The junta appointed judiciary has a contingency plan. The EC has been preparing cases to disqualify various PPP candidates if they win.And of course, tanks and guns beat votes anyway. The Democrats are going to win no matter how many elections it takes. I certainly hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitrapaap Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Its sad to see that the majority of Farangs here do not respect the Thai peoples right to democratically elect a government of their choice. Having an own opinion and voicing it is not equal to not-respecting the Thai peoples right. Just because some farmers think Thaksing is great does not mean that more educated people have to keep their mouth shut. If you don't agree with my comparison between "intelligence" then asnwer me the following question: Why do parents make decisions, not their children? Maybe because the kids don't have the knowledge and experience to make intelligent and usefull decisions? Yes, I compare the north-east to children. You given them some chocolate and they obey. They know how to grow grass and how to cook it. Growing grass is important for this country, but only knowing how to cook is not enough to bring Thailand forward. And if you still think Samak is the ideal candidate for this job, I have to ask you another question. Do you let your grandmother make decisions that impact your own future? This man has passed the expiry date for this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite scandalous that none of the Thai media even mention this event and Samaks connection considering he is quite possibly going to be the next PM.

If Samak is PM here tonight, and if there's any likelihood of he remaining so, then I'll be voting, in the only way I can, with my feet, to the airport.
