Over 50 percent of respondents to Suan Dusit Poll believe that the post-election government will be democratic, represent the people and perform better than the previous governments.
However, 42.30 percent of the respondents of the same poll believe that there won’t be changes for the better because the same old politicians will get elected into the parliament with the country still divided with colour politics.
Dusit Poll surveyed the opinions of 1,130 respondents during June 5-9 about their political interests. Election ranks top of their political issue of interest followed by the performance of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha government and new political parties.
39.48 percent of the 1,130 respondents are interested in the next election tentatively set in February next year. They want the election to be held and when exactly the election will be held as they want an elected government with the hope that it will bring about economic improvements, said the poll.
