Because I am being fairly productive, thesisly speaking. The election got me interested again, I suppose you could say.
Here are some election links I find important and interesting:
Michelle Fitzpatrick argues that, despite being the first female PM, this election is not a win for Feminism. (I will probably write a paper about this someday.)
Nicholas Farrelly discusses the aftermath of the election and its connection to the last five years of political turmoil.
And finally, academic Chris Baker compiled a map of regional voting patterns. The north and northeast are basically solid red.
All in all, it will be a very interesting next few months as the new government forms. I personally think it would be interesting if Yingluck decides she is not her brother's clone and governs on her own terms. Unfortunately, I'm afraid than any success or failure she has will be attributed to his hand behind the scenes.
