Thailand is set to hold its general elections on 14 May, Sunday. Many people see it as an opportunity to abolish the military-driven governments that have dominated the nation for the majority of modern history
you used the word seems. look carefully at this election. there s all kind of ways it can go wrong for bors boris johnson. it s all about constituency candidates. i worry about how far the conservatives are going to get where they need to get to to a majority. they don t have one now. they ve been in power nine years. they re going to lose seats to the scottish nationalists and in england to the liberal democrats. there s a brexit party taking votes away in other parts of the party. it s a bigger mountain for boris johnson than the polls lead you to think. if there s one thing we learned from recent years, don t base your views on national opinion polls. meanwhile our french ally, president macron says nato is brain dead and it s all donald trump s fault. he called the american president unstable. look, nato has issues.
