Surely 4 years?

Settha is just reminding the Thai public that the establishment told him to do nothing to alter the status quo.

PT are a minority in their own government. Plus their owner is 'a captive guest' of the authorities. They will not get to appoint, or better, arrange elections for the next senators without support from MF.

Both Adisorn and Chaturon fled Bangkok, to Laos and the jungle respectively, after the October 6 massacre. Neither should be able, conscience wise, to remain in a government with a coup leader and supporters

Yes, the elite have got him by the short and curlies. 'Do as we say if you want to be free.' I'm disgusted that so called democracy, anti- junta MPs like Chaturon and Adisorn ( 'I was under pressure'), haven't resigned. Spineless.

The senators who voted for Settha to be PM came from Prayuth's group, the coup makers. So having seized power from Pheu Thai, they've passed it back. Only, there are conditions, many. And they have a hostage to make sure Pheu Thai meekly obey their orders. Move Forward, the sole hope for Thailand

t49 hang on. At a guess I reckon you're 73 or 74, born in 1949? Outlive your contemporaries in the Thai elite by a few years and you may yet die happy

There are levels of lies from the white lie to avoid hurt feelings, to the brazen in your face lie, I know that you know that I'm lying but I don't give a flying fluck.. Thaksin's 'honest mistake' remark definitely falls into the last category imo, and to use it in court under oath suggests to me a man devoid of a moral compass .

Doing a Tippers today, on a run/ spree.

The whole charade reeks of bad acting. Give it a day or two and hashtags on Twitter making fun of this pantomime will appear.
