Clearly you have little understanding of the function of democracy. Considerably less in fact than the 'illiterate' majority you would disenfranchise.

If the ability of the majority of the population to think through things in an intelligent fashion was the main criterion by which people were permitted to vote, then the US had better think up an alternative to the system which in recent years has carried a gormless B movie actor to the presidency of the world's most powerful nation... and the less said about Bush Junior the better.

However notwithstanding the disadvantages of the democratic system, it remains the best of the options we've got. Otherwise we get the Mugabe's and Myanmar-style dictatorships. Is the latter what you want for Thailand?
