re: "Not the majority" (BP, PostBag, June 13, 2023)
Dear editor,
As an essential premise in his argument against the very popular Move Forward Party, which is known to have won 36% of the vote in the recent election, Vint Chavala asserts that "According to the polls, most Thais want Thailand to be a country with the King as the head of state as stipulated in the constitution." He then declines to give the all important percentages or to cite the sources for that bold claim based on those uncited polls.
Encouraging as it is to be assured that such polls have in fact been done, Mr Chavala really does need to cite them. It will also help his argument to report the exact percentages for the different questions polled. It would, in addition, be extremely useful to see the direction and speed at which those percentages are changing by comparing the results of polls done at different times.
Vint Chavala, please share where those polls you had in mind can be accessed.
Felix Qui
