If not one person -one vote, Thailand farmers should simply just plant enough rice for themselves and their family, forget city's dwellers...well they can all eat dirt and have all intelligent discussions to their heart contents!

It should be called the Middle Class Royalists' Alliance Against Democracy. I quote from the above article: "It [the People's Alliance] wants the country to abandon the system of one-person, one-vote, and instead have a mixed system in which most representatives are chosen by profession and social group." In short, disenfranchise the poor upcountry farmer; give the banker, the lawyer and the bordello owner even more political power. This so-called alliance for democracy just overthrew a democratically elected government. Insiders tell me that it was done with the blessing of the king. If you were stuck at the airport in Bangkok, amidst the heat and mosquitos, you should be delighted to know that the people who made your life miserable are a bunch of well-healed fascists who have succeeded making Thailand a more repressive place.

And those of you think that what has happened in Thailand is of no concern to you, consider: It can happen here.
