Encouraging the rural vote

August 7th, 2007 by Andrew Walker · Add a Comment

Oh how we love those rural voters when they have no choice:

The day after the Aug 19 referendum has been declared a public holiday, to encourage rural voters to go back to their homes to cast their ballot on the draft constitution. (From the Bangkok Post.)

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
