CS, you are nailing the main problem of politics in Thailand. This is information. Information is a controlled medium in Thailand, especially with the present government. Therefor is it important that as much as possible info is being extended to the whole country, including the poorer areas, Isarn springs to mind.
Thaksin is presenting them with a form of democraty where you vote and then you leave absolut power to the winner of the majority vote. Public participation, freedom of speech, checks and balances etc. are not seem as part of this democraty.
As for myself, I am very much interested in the political situation in Thailand and follow as much as possible. I think that the news feed is good as it gives a little different dimension to the forum.
