The country is better off with a properly elected government. Of course there will be problems and those who disagree with the government's policies, but the job of the opposition is to offer voters a viable alternative. A healthy democracy in Thailand depends on the Democrats getting it together. So far they have offered nothing but dissappointment and bitterness.
