Like tyrants throughout history, Thaksin will use “elections” to lend himself legitimacy he otherwise doesn’t have.
Elections alone do not make any given regime legitimate. Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, held regular elections – of course, Hussein was the only viable candidate running and easily was returned to power, time and time again (See BBC’s “Saddam ‘wins 100% of vote‘”). He enjoyed immense popularity especially as he stood up against the unwarranted aggression of the United States, however no one would describe his government as particularly “democratic.” Of course, the West had no problems saying so.
A similar tale can be told of North Korea’s elections – with its one-party government enjoying “landslide victories” as reported in the Telegraph’s “Elections declared a success in one party North Korea.” Similarly, the West has no problem making a mockery of the process..................
............Finally, no matter how “popular” Thaksin Shinawatra claims his regime may be, popularity – like elections – don’t automatically equate into legitimacy. Adolf Hitler was wildly popular, and of course also absolutely illegitimate. In fact, a look across the US-backed pro-EU protests in Kiev, Ukraine, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi ideology is still popular but it would be scarcely imaginable to believe anyone would argue it was somehow then legitimate. Similarly, the mass murdering, thieving, treasonous regime of Thaksin Shinawatra never was, isn’t, nor ever will be legitimate. Upcoming elections in Thailand are a sham and the very fact that “elections” and “popularity” appear to be the sole exhibits the regime and its Western backers continuously point to as a source of their “legitimacy,” betrays the fact that they indeed do not have any.
Elections and “democracy” without the rule of law, wielded by a regime that has demonstrably held human rights and justice in utter contempt, is just another form of tyranny – a tyranny people have the right, even the duty to stand up against. It is not that anti-regime protesters are against the idea of representative governance – they are merely against naked, illegitimate tyranny disguising itself as such.
