So, having read the article quoted below, are TRT buying the middle-class vote?

The Tories went down this route back in the '80s - promising tax cuts, selling off the national treasures, etc. Eventually both conservative politicians and the public woke up to what was happening. I'm not saying the current political climate in the UK is any healthier, and to be honest, certain things needed a decent reform. However, the Thai psyche is very different to that of the average Brit and sadly most Thais can't even see further than their plastic surgery enhanced nose. Thailand seems to have abandoned any moral principles based on their Buddhist beliefs in favour of trying to get as much money for as little work as possible (I did say 'most Thais') in the shortest possible time.
