But I wish her all the best as she's got one hell of a job on her hands if she's ever going to unify a divided nation.

She may win the Election but it will be only a matter of time before Army intervention, Thai elections are just a showcase for the rest of the world to show Thailand as a democracy. In reality, if the ruling Elite/Army don't like the elected government, they stage a coup.

 

I do hope Thailand can become a true democracy, but it's not likely in the foreseeable future.

I am remarkably ignorant about Thai politics as a whole. I'm not proud of that fact.

 

Is there somewhere I can do a bit of reading up, does anyone have links I can use to educate myself on this. I do have a rather hazy understanding of some of the events of recent years, but would like learn more.

 

Many thanks
