Remember years ago when mainstream news sources agreed that the removal of Prime Minister Thaksin was good for democracy in Thailand? After all the paid "yellow shirts" wanted him gone as they showed when the shut down the precious main airport. But funny, how last year when Thaksin supporters shut down the business sector of Bangkok all they got for their greater efforts was the back of a hand from the world press as acting "undemocratically". Now Thaksin's red shirts have shown just how democratically popular they are.
And remember, though the votes for the Thaksin party are just above 50%, in a Parliamentary system that is a landslide.
