Hej
Läste det här i http://asiancorrespondent.com/111602/what-did-the-2006-coup-in-Thailand-achieve/ och tyckte att denna fråga var värd en egen tråd.
Vad uppnåddes egentligen?
a. Apishit är fortfarande i opposition.
b. Det demokratiska partiet har fortfarande lika lite chans att vinna ett val "som en astmatiker har att vinna över Usain bolt på 100m.
c. Thai Rak Thai,s efterföljare har fortfarande majoritet i parlamentet.
d. Vi har fortfarande en Shinawatra som PM - egentligen två eftersom vi nu har en i Thailand och en i Dubai.
e. Thailand är fortfarande splittrat och mer splittrat än det var 2007.
What did the 2006 coup in Thailand achieve?

Songkran Grachangnetara in an op-ed in the Bangkok Post:
Speculation over a military coup may prove to be a false alarm,
but let me remind everyone that the last coup achieved absolutely nothing and proved to be a cure far worse than the disease,
because seven years after the military overthrow of a democratically elected prime minister, things are exactly the same.
Just look at the facts:
a) Abhisit Vejjajiva is still leader of the opposition.
The Democrat Party still has as much chance of winning a general election as an asthmatic has in beating Usain Bolt in the 100m sprint.
c) The Thai Rak Thai Party, or one of its offspring, still has a majority in parliament
d) We still have a Shinawatra as prime minister – arguably we have two Shinawatras as prime minister – as one is here in
Thailand and the other is in Dubai. And last but not least,
e)
Thailand is still a divided nation and more divided than we were in 2007 [
