Today's date with national destinyThailand has a double date with destiny today. This is more than a routine civic duty; it is a decisive exercise of power. In a nation that has endured an endless series of military coups, extreme political polarisation and repeated institutional gridlock, today's vote serves as a vital reaffirmation of the country's collective future. On the domestic front, a clear and decisive electoral outcome will go a long way toward forging a new national consensus. This vision must be inclusive -- capable of reuniting people across the political spectrum under a shared commitment to national progress rather than divisive hostility.
