Thailand is becoming a political clown. Does it mean that anyone in Thailand can just run in the election hoping to be a MP? All you need is connection and support from the financiers. Thailand needs smart people to help develop and improve the country and not someone who would act as another person's proxy.

What are they going to add to Thailand? Build more boxing stadium nationwide? Thailand is going down the drain should these people get elected. We need to screen electoral candidates. In this situation, Thailand needs to get out of the inflationary crisis by electing people who knows about improving the economy. We don't need warriors to fight with our neighbors.
