Weekly Debate 52 [Do you want Gen Surayud to continue his job]

Slightly over half respondents want PM to remain

BANGKOK, Oct 7 (TNA) - As some members of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) are pressuring interim Prime Minister Gen. Surayud Chulanont to resign over his alleged inefficiency, a latest poll shows that slightly more than half the total respondents want him to continue his job and organise the general election.


A new ABAC Poll queried 1,456 people in Bangkok and the metropolitan area found that 54.4 per cent of total respondents wanted Gen. Surayud, now also holding the portfolio of interior minister, to hold the election, tentatively set for December 23, while 15.3 per cent wanted him to quit his posts immediately.

Some NLA members, reportedly led by retired Squadron Leader Prasong Soonsiri, are trying to launch a censure debate against Gen. Surayud over his reported land ownership in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima and his alleged administrative inefficiency.

But the attempts are expected to be futile because under the practice the NLA members cannot launch a censure debate against an interim government. They can only launch a general debate in which no-confidence vote is not allowed.

Up to 89.1 per cent of the total respondents also agreed with the idea of the interim government to hold the election on December 23, saying that the political situation and the country's economy would worsen if the election is delayed.

Unsurprisingly, 42.5 per cent of the respondents believed the quality of politicians would remain poor after the election while 66.7 per cent believed that corruption would continue in the new government.

RE: Weekly Poll 26 [Do you want Gen Surayud to continue his job]

I think it's a little late to change the head of the government, unless of course it would be to your advantage. The PM hasn't done much but the NLA are a bunch of puppets and have done less and at time much worse than the PM.. The whole bunch of them deserve a failing grade.

I'm sure that there is no one in the present government or the junta for that matter, that is 100% squeaky clean. This is Thailand if you aren't corrupt, to some degree, you never get to the top of the heap. To me if you are a motorcycle cop that accepts 200Bt on the street you are just as corrupt as a politician accepting 2 billion, but in Thailand and especially with the Junta it's spun into only the politician is corrupt. Not many politicians let illegal Teak logs over the Military controlled border from Burma. The country is corrupt, has been for ever, as long as you punch that into the equation it really doesn't matter a lot, you know the ground rules and you adjust to it. Normally the one pointing the finger is the one that's trying to deflect the view from himself.
