Thai Example of Multi-Corner FIGHT 3.July.2011 = poll

Thaksin was never the totalizator bandit as despite his popularity, he did not had enough clout. Like I said, there are many factors at play in Thai politics. For one he did not have any influence in the military, though he did try unsuccessfully with the appointment of his cousin as army chief.

No Thai could think of Thaksin as God, the King yes but not Thaksin or anyone else. And he was popular and well liked by the rural folks simply because they benefited from his policies. Thaksin got things done for them.

Thaksin was never the richest man in Thailand, he was one of the richest thru his own businesses even before he entered politics.
The richest man in Thailand and the world is the Thai King.

ShinCorp is a business not a SWF like Temasek. The Crown Property Bureau would be a more accurate comparison.

Members of Thaksin's family were/are in politics as elected representatives. His is just one of the many political families on thai politics.

Thai Rak Thai party is hardly the PAP. Though it became a one party government, it lasted only for a single term. It was later banned and had members disqualified.
You will never see this happen to the PAP.

The Thais had fortunately did the effective things in time to stop Thug-Sin, or else nightmare will come true. Thug-Sin bought lots of military dogs not the very big ones but there is an army in the shadow. 3000 armed forest guards were deployed near Bangkok before the bloodless coupe. During the Red Shirt violence there were so many gun-men and grenade-assassins all are self-explaining evidence.

Thug-Sin is as fast making Billionaire there may be others richer than him but none had gain so much wealth within such a short time. Given time and had Thais not stopped him most of the king's royal wealth will fall into Thug-Sin's hands and he will be richer than LKy famiLEE & Shin Corp will be bigger then GIC TemaSEX. He was stopped at the right crucial time, had they failed to stop this bastard, he would be helping famiLEE LEEgime to secure power in SG today, with resources richer than the Red Dot's limitations.

Singaporeans ought to thank the Thais for stopping Thug-Sin. The only regret is their Buddhism is too kind that they let this mongrel ran out of Thailand alive, he should had been shot or captured. The coupe should not be bloodless, had the coupe used the right violence the Red Shirt Bloodshed on the streets of Bangkok would be unable to take place, the military should had arrested and shot at least half of these Red Shirt monkeys long time ago during the military coupe. It was because they did not take the pain to bleed then, that they faced the subsequent Red Shirt bleeding subsequently. In the end Red Shirt became terrorists in the city and soldiers got killed. If the army had the foresight they should had fried these monkeys loyal to Thug-Sin way back during that coupe. Elimination works and Democracy My Foot! :p Until today they are still not stable because:

1. They let Thug-Sin fled alive like MSK to stir shit from abroad -(long term problem)
2. They failed to eliminate the pro-Thug-Sin militant dogs during that coupe -(long term problem) They should had fixed it for once and for all.



If Thailand was my country that will be my preferred way and that would be my fight, and that's how I would do it.

This photo will show how serious is the multi-corner situation in Thailand. Abhisit's party drew a number 10 as ballot ticket position number for this GE.

That means at least 10 corner is possible. That means there are 10 or more candidates on the ballot ticket for a voter to pick.

The above photo is a South African Election ballot, see how many corner fight they have got?

Democrat Party gets number 10, Puea Thai gets number 1 as election contest identifiers

​

BANGKOK, May 19 -- The Democrat Party which heads Thailand's current coalition government has drawn the number 10 as its identifier for the upcoming general election campaign, while the opposition Puea Thai Party received number 1.

It was the luck of the draw by lots to identify the number to represent each party contesting the upcoming general election on the first day of party list candidacy registration.
Party-list candidacy registration opened at the Thai-Japan Youth Centre, Din Daeng today and will continue through May 23, with constituency-based MP candidacy registration from May 24 through May 28. The general election itself is set for July 3.
Election Commission Chairman Apichart Sukhagganond welcomed party leaders and representatives. His first order of business was to draw party names one by one to set the order for each party representative to draw a number. Twenty-eight party leaders came and reported to elections officials before the regular opening of office hours at 8.30am. Two parties could not draw the number today as their documents and fees were not ready, so there were in total just 26 parties in the drawing.
Party leaders arriving after 8.30am registered according to the time of their actual arrival.

The Democrat Party, represented by its leader Abhisit Vejjajiva drew number 10 and the Puea Thai Party, represented by party leader Yongyuth Vichaidit who followed Mr Abhisit, netted number one as the party candidacy number.
The other major parties numbers are Chat Pattana Puea Pandin with number 2; Rak Prathet Thai of outspoken politician Chuwit Kamolvisit, number 5; Palang Chon, number 6; Purachai Piamsomboon’s Rak Santi, number 12; Social Action, number 14; Bhum Jai Thai, number 16; New Politics, number 20; Chat Thai Pattana, number 21; and former coup leader Gen Sonthi Boomyaratkalin’s Matuphum Party, number 26.
The total number of party list MP seats in Parliament is 125. Accordingly each party can field as many as 125 candidates.
The number of popular votes a party receives in the general election will be used to calculate the number of party-list MP seats it wins.
