yes i agree, that the NE is a TRT power base, as i said about Taksins support in the NE.

what i inferred about the disenfranchising of the rural migrant poor is their need to go to tourist/urban centres for work and opportunity.

the disenfranchising by the system of people only being eligible to vote in their tambon, reduces their political strength, their right to vote.
