Comparative rating on Abhisit-Yingluck govt

Suan Dusit Poll, released on Friday, found the Yingluck Shinawatra government to have outpaced, trailed behind and been on par with the Abhisit Vejjajiva administration on a combination of factors.

The Yingluck government was seen as outperforming the previous administration on three issues, namely, the Bt15,000 starting salary for civil servants with a Bachelor's degree, the Bt300 daily minimum wage and the drug suppression campaign.

The Abhisit government, in turn, was seen as superior to the present administration on two issues - the Cabinet line-up and the paddy price intervention scheme.

The two governments were on par for one issue - education policies. The survey found the two to have equally failed to end the political conflict and to quell the southern violence.
