This is starting to get out of hand.
It's quite startling how the urban elites refuse to accept that the electorate is going to keep voting in Thaksin's party for the simple reason that - you know - their policies actually benefit them.
Whatever you think of Thaksin himself, he's been more or less impeccably on side with the rural poor since the start. And these clowns keep trying to find ways to remove the upstarts by any means other than the ballot box.
There'll be a coup any day now, you just watch.
Are there any other parts of the world where there are regular street protests to try to force out a democreatically elected government, or is Thailand pretty much it?
