The jaded view of Thai politicians sounds like an apt description of our own politics, at least in the US and Canada, although things here may not be as grim as they are in Thailand.

More from the source:
"The new constitution. Can it really bring a positive change for Thailand? One fervently hopes, but history shows that every time new ideas and ways of life arise, a backlash of the old ways rears its head and gobbles the change. Indeed, those who are superior to us in background, breeding or station have absolutely no desire to see any changes at all. In fact they would prefer that we did not even discuss such things and are prepared to take any necessary measures to ensure that the rest of us desist from doing so."

As far as I can tell, the locals believe Thai politicians will continue to emulate their great English hero, Robin "The Hood", by stealing from the poor and keeping it, and that the only difference between any political party is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when big business knocks on their door.

OMG, this writer is simply brimming with wit. I highly recommend this article to all discerning readers
