Yes all with Thai passport and children who want a future and you want to decide for our children in Thailand. You are not Thai but want to decide whats good for the country and for the children in Thailand?! Sure there are the pheu thai block and the progressive block with move forward and by the way this pm is not elected and his party not won the election they came by cheating and stealing the votes in favorite for the small parties and a handpicked senate. They never had any majority in Thailand but you want to tell the Thais it is ok that their votes were stolen? Who are you and why you advocat such things as a foreigner? I guess you have no children here and give a dam about the people in Thailand and their future or about all the inequality and broken economy. And all the youngsters who finished their schools and university and can get now no jobs. Why do you think you can tell them what is good for their country. With your opinion you will be not popular at the young generation and they are the future of Thailand thats for sure!

Sure the majority want nobody from this government . I think you forgot that the party from Anutin and Prayut had not the most votes they could hold the government because of the democrats and many small parties and by the way Annutin is not in the same party like Prayut.
