Big Vote in Thailand


The 19th of August sees a huge vote in Thailand. The people will be voting on the new constitution drawn up by the military junta.

Without getting boring, on the whole it seems a good document, bringing it in to line with alot of western democracies. The vote however will be a straight race between the supporters of the military and the supporters of the ousted PM Thaksin. It'll be a close call!

The picture is from the last election in the south of the country. With all their extra terrorist problems I bet there will be more soldiers on duty there than voters.
