'Sukhumbhand safe' in poll probe

majority: Did any Dem ever hurt your body or mind so deeply and bad for you to keep on writing such posts? Or is it something different I cannot understand? Such as blinding passion for the reds, or for 'him'?

A nice tidy Thai solution. Sir Humphrey would be proud

Suck it up...

Accept the result and move on.
There'll be plenty of mud-slinging later when Sukhumbhand needs funding from central government and they make it difficult (Don't believe me? Before the year end... guaranteed)
