Her name is Yingluck Shinawatra and she’s 44 years old. I know, right?
Her party, Pheu Thai, won the PM election by pledging to raise the minimum wage, create a high-speed rail network and give every school child a tablet computer. Which is basically the politically enticing way of saying “do you want the moon? I’ll get you the moon.”
But regardless of how well she’ll perform as prime minister and how many promises she’ll break, at least she’s nice to look at.
People will tend to be more forgiving of her for that reason. It’s like that hot girl you crushed on in high school but who treated you like trash. You occasionally thought “what a bitch,” but if she looked at you and smiled, all was forgiven.
Shut up, I’m not speaking from experience.
