เพิ่งอ่านเจอบทความใน Forbes ที่เขาพูดเรื่องการเมืองไทย
…… It’s clear that Thaksin and Yingluck can deliver a plurality at the polls. They have done it repeatedly since 2001. Their opponents must accept this fact. But an electoral mandate isn’t a right to govern unfettered. Back in 2006, when Thaksin faced mass protests against the sale of his family-owned telecoms company to Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, he pulled the same trick. He won the election, but Thailand faced a deadlock and the military stepped in.
This is a poor substitute for legitimate checks on elected officials. Perhaps the only thing worse than too many democratic checks are no checks at all.

This (the military stepped in?) is a poor substitute for legitimate checks on elected officials.
Perhaps the only thing worse than too many democratic checks (and balances?) are no checks at all.
Mililary stepping in เป็น demorcatic check เเบบนึงหรือ?
ขอบคุณค่ะ
