We are beating a dead horse here, Rice Mortgage total failure, was proven a failture yet they still reintroduce a failure. That goes to show how much a failture PTP and YS is.

Disc3 Wantmyony - I'm sorry but Prime Minister is not an entry level position. You can't 'learn on the job' when the livelihoods of 65 million people depend on you.

So far her government has been awful. Just awful.

The rice pledging scheme has been attacked for over a year now, but the government could have the last laugh. The US drought may push up prices and the government is selling direct instead of getting squeezed by Thai exporters.

Yingluck is a political novice and have recently completed her first year in office, governing a mess up country after 6 years is not easy especially so much damage has been done by the military and DEMS. She will improve overtime when she complete her full term, like other female world leaders she alreay improve Thailand international standing. Thai people have more to gain with her as prime minister than other dubious candidates.

"72.9 per cent said they wanted to hear explanation from Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra"

I think 72.9% will be disappointed... even if she dares to answer, na ka.

I dont think Yingluck could answer why the rice scam is a waste of taxpayers money and destructive to the rice industry as she seems only capable of smiling and reading off a paper .
