Understudy, apparently the “No” vote in the North East was over 60% and 42% overall, so if you consider that many people voted “Yes” just to get nearer to an election, and others didn’t vote at all in a protest, it is hardly a resounding result for the ruling junta.

Hello Y'all

Steve G 3 Paragraphs of the article are in my opinion very important.

instead of ushering in the rebirth of genuine democracy, the general election could indeed put the military in a position to dominate national politics and thereby perpetuate its hold on power indefinitely. It remains to be seen if the middle class, which has acquiesced to military rule so far as a necessary evil, will continue to accept the military's dominant role in politics and, if so, for how much longer.

The military is supposed to work itself out of its current job of cleaning up politics and then go back to the barracks and submit itself to the next civilian government. But there is no indication that the military will do so, and people are beginning to see that the military is not exactly as selfless and incorruptible as it claims to be.

understud: Once they've got the scent of Power, their not willing to give it up so easily.

Less than two months after toppling the Thaksin government last September 19, General Sonthi Boonyaratglin dispensed lucrative, highly-paid jobs to senior military officers to serve as chairmen or directors on the boards of state enterprises. This smacked of cronyism, one of the charges made against Thaksin as well. Some top military officers are getting comfortable with the trappings of power and new found wealth and have begun to take the people's support for granted.

The understud: The Millitary masked this well by claimming to nationalise Componies which are vital in the interest of the State. I think sooner or later the middle class will rise up against their tolarated Millitary Junta once they've seen the economic skies darken for themselves and their businesses. and other factors conserning life, rights and civil liberties.

Understudy, and of course it’s much harder for the populace to depose the military once they have consolidated power; they are, after all, the one’s with all the tanks.
