Thaksinisation

a thai ruk thai win tomorrow will mean power to the rich and influential like never before as well as a single-party parliamentary dictatorship in thailand, seriously undermining the kingdom's democratic credentials. somewhat similar here. :]

the billionaire prime minister's insolence and autocratic rule will be greater than used to be in the past 4 years. especially since he alone holds about 10 per cent of the market capitalisation of the thai stock exchange, sees himself as CEO (a one-man rule), and all set to score a landslide victory on sunday. great. the human rights abuse will go on, curbs on free expression and more blood to spill.

i only hope now the opposition democrats win the minimum number of seats needed to call for a no-confidence motion, to censure mr thaksin. just so to keep his snottiness in check.
