I've made my point in answer to that of another poster and I stick to it. Since I do not think a political discussion is necessarily the aim of this Board, I will not take this further. Indeed with the lese majeste laws (like them or not) that may be rather difficult ground.

But since you have taken me to task re the Courts, let me just add that I did highlight the endemic corruption in all walks of life - and in my book that encompasses all organisations, not necessarily political. Nothing can change to my way of thinking until corruption is weeded out from public life. That is the cancer. Get rid of it, and there is a chance that a more traditional style of democracy may work.
