Political frustration in Thailand: Almost 50% of citizens without hope!

Political frustration in Thailand: Almost 50% of citizens without hope!

Today, November 15, 2025, current surveys shed exciting light on the political mood in Thailand. The most recent survey conducted by the well-known Dr. Kriangsak Charoenwongsak – also known as Dr. Dan – as well as Jitima Boonwiya, yielded interesting results. Conducted by the IFD Poll between November 12 and 13, 1,272 people were surveyed, reflecting the population's view of the current political climate in the country's six regions.

The results show that 50.15% of respondents have little to no hope in Thai politics. On the other hand, 49.85% expressed a certain degree of hope. Skepticism is particularly pronounced: around 37.26% of those surveyed said they had little hope, while 12.89% had even completely given up hope for political improvements. Dr. Dan emphasized that this survey highlights the divided mood within society and warned that there is an urgent need for cooperation between established and new parties to form a stable government.

Political expectations and elections

Another key result of the survey is that 51.65% of those surveyed believe that the next election will only further consolidate the existing political situation. Only 48.35% see opportunities for change. Given the upcoming election, it appears that possible policies favored by citizens are leaning heavily towards censure in the Prime Minister. A full 37.81% support this step, followed by 18.16% for a no-confidence debate against individual ministers and 16.12% for dissolving Parliament before such a debate.

The political parties' assessment of the next election is equally revealing. 29.48% of the electorate are still undecided, while the “People's Party” has 23.66% of the vote. Other parties such as “Phumjai Thai” and “Pheu Thai” follow with 9.20% and 7.47% respectively. Surprisingly, 2.28% of respondents plan not to vote and 2.83% are not interested.

The role of politics and its challenges

The basis of political analysis covers complex aspects, ranging from cooperation efforts to power relations between individuals. As political science shows, approaches to defining politics and their interpretations vary, often oscillating between moral and realist perspectives.

Thailand's political system is not only marked by internal tensions, but also reflects global trends that point to fundamental questions about power and political freedom. As conflicts manifest within society, the question remains how effectively the Thai government can deal with these challenges to regain citizens' trust.

In conclusion, the current survey results reflect both concern and a degree of hope. In a region where politics is often characterized by contradictions, interest in political solutions and their feasibility remains high. What happens next remains to be seen - but one thing is certain: citizens expect clear answers and measures from their political leaders.
