Democracy riddleRe: "Déjà vu as charter court weighs MFP ban", (Opinion, Jan 12). In his article, Thitinan Pongsudhirak always questions whether the sovereignty of the country really belongs to Thais. After so many elections, dissolutions of parties, jailing of opposition leaders, activists, and military coups, the answer should be clear. To an outsider, all Thai institutions follow a well-orchestrated hierarchical tradition or a ritual of becoming subservient to the new masters. Hence, we should not waste time understanding Thai democracy.
