It should be added that the last time a "temporary" military power took over, it was supposed to last a few months until elections were called. It actually took 21 years as a dictatorship. Most people who lived it said it was a peaceful period, but that if you were on the right side, of course. Totally different if you were against the government - then they were pretty violent, and that's what history classes teach now. Nevertheless they kinda screwed the economy for several decades. People turn back to that sight now when the term "military coup" is brought up.

Edit: Oh and to add a bit more flavour to the pot, the machines used in the elections are being criticised as extremely unsafe and we have the STF saying they're fine but no audit is allowed to be done, like they're preparing the ground for something. Sound familiar?
