The majority of people agree that the policies, projects, measures and resolutions implemented by the government during its first nine months in office benefit them, but apart from the 15-year free education, the steps do not cover everyone in all localities, an Abac Poll revealed on Sunday.

The poll was conducted from May 20-26 on 2,441 people in Bangkok, Chanthaburi, Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya, Chon Buri, Suphan Buri, Phichit, Phetchabun, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Maha Sarakham, Si Sa Ket, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Songkhla.

Asked their opinion of the government's policies, projects, measures and resolutions during the first nine months in office such as the 15-year free education, free bus and train services, free limited use of electricity and water,15,000 baht monthly salary for bachelor degree graduates, 300 baht daily minimum wage, sales of goods at inexpensive prices, and other steps, most respondents agreed they benefit the people more than politicians and the business sector.

Thai polls may not be world class but taken together they agree enough to tell a story and the story is not one the majority of posters here want to hear.

#1 and #2. Well, judging by the survey most people don't agree with either of you. Apparently they believe that the government is actually getting on with the things that concern them, even if, inevitably, they have concerns about the speed of its achievements and range that they cover. Posts from both of you pop up her frequently enough and leave me with the distinct impression that it is you rather than the government who are obsessed with only one issue.

From day one the only policy with priority has been to white-wash the convicted criminal hiding in Dubai. Anyone not seeing that must either be blind or a gullible redshirt.

The ONLY policy this government has been working very hard on is the whitewash of their ultimate paymaster and call it reconciliation!
