dtaai-maai.

Obviously our opinions differ. Perhaps you could pop along and make sure everything goes splendidly. I stand by my belief that what is right for one country doesn't mean it's right for the next. Culture and peoples belief differ around the world. Respect it.

Bucksi The EU will be granted just that... to observe. The article stated that initially the EU wanted to take a bigger interest. The Thai government has quite rightly rejected their involvement but not ruled out the observation element. I also agree that things will probably screw -up during this c...

Hi Bucksi and the Understudy. I read this article in BP and I actually agree with the Thai's. This coming election has absolutely nothing to do with the EU. Furthermore, had they kept their noses out of English politics, England would ( in my opinion ) be a far better place. The EU has become a dict...

Norseman, You are quite right and I stand corrected. I think your last post hit the mark and put me in my place. Taken on the chin. I retract my silly remark regarding voters... each to their own. I do have very strong views on this subject and got carried away. Tanks for putting me right :cheers:

I totally agree that throughout History, the right to offer a vote as a common man has been well received. However, that right also extends to the right to abstain. I agree also with Dawn , that probably not enough people take voting serious enough as they feel they cannot make a difference with a s...

Most Thai's I have spoken to do not understand their own current governments legislation or constitution. They do not know what they are voting for or about. Brings back memory's of the Thatcher government in a so called first world country where people knew what they wanted and why they would vote....
