Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has slammed the media for failing to move beyond former premiers Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck. Gen Prayut responded emotionally to questions from the media on Wednesday about the poll results released by King Prajadhipok's Institute. Meanwhile, Mr Abhisit, the Democrat Party leader, shrugged off the poll results and suggested his party, the country's oldest, was suffering a popularity crisis. He said the poll results were likely influenced by the current political environment under which the public lacks confidence in political entities. Based on the poll results, the Democrat Party was the least popular party in power with a 36.8% rating.
