I wonder if the Thai parliament is the only one in the
world that has invested in buying a real-time display of the stockmarket prices.
Although the methodology to establish the link between politics and the market
valuations of shares of firms belonging to the families of tycoons-turned-politicians is
still under scrutiny, we cannot deny the reality of the increased wealth of families of
tycoons-turned-politicians and the possibility of this wealth being used to maintain
their political and economic power further.
