The Dard Side #21 - I observed the two main candidates during the campaign period. I don't think you have any reason that the DP did not promote the politic of fear, hate, bitterness and grievances. I don't think they have won honorably. They played dirty and this is a lesson to remind the PTP that DP is a backdoor expert and they will continue to play dirty.

You are so Red, PT and anti democratic that all of your comments give us comic relief. So much for your Light Pole candidate and the guarantee of a seamless working with your government. What? You don't think that the PM making the promise of seamless governess is misleading? Go to school and study political government.

Discussion 15. Simple reason is intimidation by the reds. The reds are widely perceived as being a violent group so people will say that they support the PTP so the red shirts will not come visiting.In the privacy of the polling booth they are free to vote for who they want.
The polls were skewed towards PTP in the last election too.

It looks like Pol Gen Pongsapat Pongcharoen has lose the election. However, I congratulate him and PTP for their conducts during the campaign period. They have been focused and did not played dirty through promoting the politic of fear, hate, bitterness and grievances. DP and its candidate, to me, has not won the election honorably.

Sweetie you can count on PTP being seamless with their version of democracy. The problem is that they have always misspelled it. Look at their performance and it does seemless from an educated point of view.

It is clear that all those polls were manipulated, never seen in my life that someone who has more than 10points lead in polls can lose.
The PT has tried everything, promise free transport and things imposible to realise, importing voters from province, even allow a fugitive convicted criminal to vote, however, the people of Bangkok turned their back to Yingluck and her people. Congratulationd Bankokians.
