There is an uprising in Thailand because there is massive
corruption, everyone knows about it, the opposition Democrat Party proved it in
no confidence debate, and nothing changed. The Parliamentary system still voted
on Party Lines and nothing got fixed or addressed. I think after people view
that they see that as long as the current Parliament does not ask for or try to
implement accountability what is the alternative.
It is very hot in Thailand. The weather is often humid and
muggy, and now there is also a lot of rain. Too many cars are in the city which makes the air on the
streets not the most pleasant to inhale. The people who protests do not want to
spend all day on the streets-most have jobs in nice air-conditioned offices.
They are sacrificing their own personal comfort to try and change what is
wrong. Protesting is what happens when there is no other outlet to combat corruption
and bad governance. It is a shame but that is how things are in Thailand. That
is in practical terms the only way to create people who do not support the current administration can make their voices heard....
