...The Monarchy has been around in Thailand for 700 years. It is an institution of great reverence. It is the strength of Thailand, not an obstacle to progress.

...The politicians are the liabilities of our democratic system. If the politicians are clean and really work for the progress of the country, there won’t be any street demonstrations. They can’t be brought to jail easily because Thailand’s rule of law is slow.
"Thaksin and his nominee's governments
...Since they control Parliament, they issue law to serve their interest... Since they control the public office, they appoint their own people to serve their interest. ...Since they control the budget process, they disburse the money to their own constituencies.... Since they have control over government concessions, they award the concessions to their cronies or those who pay the kickbacks."
...Great leaders are known for uniting the country; Thaksin succeeded in dividing the country into two ugly pieces. His legacy continues. Most important, he represents the politics as we know it. He is not for change, but for the status quo.
