Not to Plan

Yesterday saw the big election in Thailand. The first since the illegal over throwing of the democatic elected goverment last september.

Mr. Samk PPP Leader

The Army had hoped that their man from the Democratic Party was a shoe in, he is even more slimy than Tony Blair and David Cameron put together. The middle class where so happy with the Coup, even though it made Thailand the laughing stock of the world. Now the chickens are home to roost, the piblic and in particular the rural community have had a chance to speak. They voted squarely to support the PPP, a party born of Thaksin Shinawatra TRT party. Thaksin will be laughing himself silly at the result. PPP got 232 out of 480 seats, not a majority, but with several of the smaller parties being ex Thaksin chums, it seems the PPP willform the next goverment.

In short this could be a terbulant time for Thailand, but providing the Army except the result then only good will come from it.
