I don't get it.
The Thais overthrew Thaksin in a military coup because they thought he was corrupt. Then after a brief rule by the military chief, they elected someone from the same party (ok, technically a different party but formed from the same roots) in a supposedly democratic election. Then they accuse him of being Thaksin's puppet (hello.. they're from the "same" party and you knew that when you voted...) and then they find any excuse to oust him (this excuse being he accepted money for doing a "Samak can cook, so can you" show) and now, they elect Thaksin's BROTHER-IN-LAW?!? Hello??? Anybody hoooome??? If they don't want their leader to have anything to do with Thaksin, then perhaps they should look OUTSIDE of his circle, do you not think so???
That said, the new guy does look pretty genial so I hope he will turn things around for Thailand. I do hope they stop the merry-go-round here though. I can only remember that many names. This could be a great pop quiz question in future.
Sigh. I so do not understand Thai politics.
