ABAC poll 0.001% of the electorate and the "educated" farangs cannot troll out the usual tales fast enough! This "poll" does not tell anybody anything! (but the comments do!)

#17 deeply thought... So, a majority of clever people can only vote for a good chief, correct? Maybe for that a camp never win the elections.
