BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai anti-government protesters demonstrated in Bangkok’s outskirts on Saturday with a duck parade and speeches demanding the removal of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a new constitution and reforms to the monarchy.

Protests have been stepped up this week despite threats by Prayuth, a former junta ruler, to use all available laws against protesters who break them and charges of insulting the monarchy against several protest leaders.

Protesters are seeking the removal of Prayuth, accusing him of engineering an election last year to keep power that he seized from an elected government in a 2014 coup. He has said the vote was fair and he will not resign.

Protesters have also broken taboos by seeking reforms to curb the powers of the monarchy of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, saying the institution has enabled decades of military domination.

Thailand elections are inherently corrupt, I've seen locals be given money for their vote, it is so common that Thai's expected to be paid for their vote.

Our elections with 10 million plus fraud votes for Biden makes Thailand elections look pristine.

US is become a massive delusional version of law and representative government. Mere delusion, pretense, immersive deception. Pretending We-The-People _vote_ for our officials. White washed walls, hiding a filthy treasonous core, living in DC.
