Development of a system that can stop the next election from taking place in identical conditions

No matter how challenging the road ahead may still be, every election offers new optimism. Everyone can perceive the main dilemma. There must be heroes and villains in every election, and everyone must wish to be a hero at the expense of others for the election to take place. Although it is the current state of affairs, it is not how things should be.

Posters for candidates and other election-related developments highlight a climate that needs to change after this Sunday, or democracy will be completely transformed into a brutal game in which each player does whatever it takes and pays whatever price to win.

Sadly, less brutal elections are not at all likely given the political norms now in place. In order to prevent the next election from having the same cloak and dagger of this one, it is on to both the winners and losers to ensure that Sunday’s aftermath is truly democratic.

The 27th general election to be held in Thailand since 1932 will take place on Sunday. Like every election, this one included rallying cries that called for reforms and changes. True transformations and reforms, however, have proven elusive and nearly impossible due to the nation’s division, which allowed for the rise of prejudice and mistrust over ideals, norms, and potential collaboration.

The challenge for Sunday is a little humorous. Thailand is voting to demonstrate its legitimacy in the face of growing worry, even in America, that polarization, with all of its negative effects, is causing people to lose faith in elections, a cornerstone of democracy. It’s a duty that goes far beyond choosing the nation’s next four years’ president. Thais, who inhabit a “small” nation relative to the rest of the world, are tasked with defending a highly regarded international order by demonstrating its effectiveness in resolving issues faced by regular people.

Dr. Prawase Wasi, one of Thailand’s most renowned intellectuals, thinkers, and humanists, is the best person to describe what Thailand truly needs. He effectively urged for a positive mingling of old and new ideas and values by applauding the nation’s young generation’s energy and encouraging it to work toward true equality, which he claimed even the United States still lacks.

He promoted open-mindedness toward new ideas among the older generations. He underlined to the young people the need for new ideas to demonstrate their genuine value in the form of a better society.

Prawase did not say it out, but he is clear that he does not want to witness elections that are so vicious that the only thing either side does is demonize the other. This type of political climate misinterprets helpful suggestions from the opposition, dissuades capable human resources from assisting when the perceived enemies are in power, and encourages turning a blind eye when someone on the same side commits a wrong, making real justice impossible and the fight against corruption a losing cause.

A front-leg-hind-leg synchronized movement is the best way for the new generation to lead, according to Prawase. He asserted that the world will never witness a greater accomplishment than if elections and the aftermath could bring Thais together.

He declared, “The younger generation is the future.” The future will be promising if they are highly capable, fully awake, and idealistic. That fresh thinking is required does not imply that previous thinking is flawed. Even in business, if something isn’t modified, it will no longer be profitable. Reconception is necessary for everyone. I have seen cutting-edge thinking rejected. Everyone must discover a means to ensure that new ideas not only survive, but also thrive.

Prawase’s suggestion should be taken into consideration by all parties, as the election on Sunday is likely to pit old waves (who were previously new waves) against new waves (who will eventually turn into old waves themselves). The older generations are there, as well as the younger ones. Thailand will be put to the test in terms of how well they can coexist peacefully and productively.

Despite the fact that there is still a long way to go, one more step will be taken on Sunday.
