.....The current political crisis in Thailand has been engineered by opposition forces who are determined to paint Thailand’s democratic system as corrupt and ineffective. One of the main goals of their recent political protests has been to create an atmosphere of political crisis that undermines local and international faith in Thailand’s democratic processes. The way the government has responded to some of these political challenges has made the discrediting job of the opposition forces that much easier.
Comment : They aren't determined but its mastermind is brazen, this crisis shown that Thai politician are just a bit factor of the political scene, they haven't been had real power. This crisis is abnormal, the highly person of Thai society have been involved in this crisis clearly, impossible that PAD group aren't backup.But perhaps the “crisis” in Bangkok is taking place against an often un-recognised backdrop of satisfaction with the way the Thailand’s democratic system works. Of course there are other political sentiments. The paper by Albritton and Thawilwadee argues, at length, that there is a culture in Thailand “that promotes inequality as the foundation of the society” and which consistently paints democratically elected governments as lacking in moral virtue. These are the sentiments that the PAD taps into so effectively. But the broad-based satisfaction with democratic processes documented in the Asian Barometer surveys helps to explain why the PAD’s authoritarian “new politics” has such limited electoral appeal.
Comment : The master mind of PAD have a hidden agenda to discredit Thai politician, they would tried to control politician's power which further more in Thaksin's era.
