Who needs politicians?

摘要

Thailand has had but a caretaker gov-eminent, and no parliament, for five months now. The country's two main political parties face possible dissolution for "unconstitutional" behaviour. The election commissioners are on trial in the criminal courts. No one is sure if fresh elections called for mid-October will take place. Thaksin Shinawatra seems determined to stay on as prime minister, while anti-Thaksin protest leaders remain convinced that one last shove will force him out.
