yeah sure...good luck with the MOU at court....it is useless paper to give it more credit.....as soon as it was signed Thaksin started to undermine it. The could have made coalition contract with details. They did not. PTP has already said if Pita doesn't get it in the first vote they drop him....I guess that is not in the MOU. I guess the speaker PTP friendly speaker wasn't in the MOU as well... It is nothing. They have a coalition after the vote in parliament. Soon we'll know so anyway a waste of time to speculate.... btw. silence from the Dems...or did I miss something?

a MOU has no legal relevance. What can you do with it? Nothing. "Memorandum of understanding" if you don't know the meaning...signing a paper that we understand to have a plan....nothing more than an immature gesture.

not only corporations...a lot low and medium income people paid a little bit from their meager salary.

He can talk what he want....it has no relevance. It is just his personal opinion.

Definitely I am not on the sample planet as you. You have your own.... You have a coalition when it is voted for......there was no vote yet. We don't know if the coalition partner will vote as they say. Till now it is just verbal agreed between the bosses, but as every MP can vote independent you have a coalition after it is voted for....not before.

beauty contest was already odd before....the silly girls that can't even find their country on the map if interviewed.... Reducing woman only to their body. And not not even that, letting unattractive males win....

No I did not say that. It was once. But I often said that the Senator appointment is a bad thing. But still they can't get an PM appointed that is undemocratic/has not the majority of MPs behind him. (And I'll apologize if reality proofs me wrong in a few weeks)

They don't have any coalition so far. EC worked fast. If MFP get dissolved the only right thing to do would be to have new elections. Just continue and ignoring that is not democratic....On the other hand democracy wouldn't be the most important thing for me. Stability is.

EC certified the elections rather fast. that the parliament met very fast, and now we are in the building of a coalition. So there is no delay. If Pita can build a coalition he can be PM in 2 days. If he can't it may need 2 more weeks till PTP can build a government

As guilty as the previous 20 prime ministers....

I asked bard (the AI) so it can be wrong....it says the King appoints judges in Thailand.

Can't remember....something Democrats/south/Thailand.....must be long ago >10 years....need to google it.

Well at the end you could not outvote Thaksin anymore....he got similar to Hun Sen. And you could outvote the military (as we have just seen). Yes there was corruption but in compare to Thaksin times you would need to search for watches on Prawits hand....Bad enough but minor cases.....And yes complete buried the cases and all the yellow that were so against corruption didn't want to know because it is their guy (kind similar to the divide in USA....where people only see the crimes of the other guy). War on drugs that the army backed government didn't look into it....I never thought about that...you have a point. I thought they may want to close the case of Thaksin but I am sure there are plenty of people who are interested so Army must have actively suppressed that. Too many of the own people involved?

what he says is most probably irrelevant if they are registered as media company and he did not cancel that. Surely they could operate without....like internet radio, internet newspaper. Renting space.... It is not about common sense it is about the law and maybe theoretical possible things.

means if some wrote a book about penguins 10 years ago and still sales it, can't be PM of Thailand? Actually it wouldn't surprise me if the law is that sloppy.....

to remove him for these shares would be really strange....

Is a book mass media? I think not. What is if you make a book every month? or every 2 weeks...at some point it is a magazine/newspaper....would be interesting to know the legal definition.

but it is registered as media company.....so they could begin tomorrow again.

yes to protect against people like Thaksin or Berlusconi....what is clearly not the case. I don't know if the court has room for common sense or if they must follow exactly. Courts that let common sense (means their opinion) over law is only an advantage if the right people are judges, else it is also a problem. And if the punishment is removal or if there is lesser punishment possible...let him pay a million and go on.....

I can live with that....and there are like 50 Million witnesses ...... And there is a book I officially bought in Siam Paragon Kinokuniya bookstore that explains how TRT did vote buying in the South and how the Democrats because they have little funds only went to the people who got money from TRT already to give them more....explained in detail and with names....Of course I am not saying that...I was not there. But they didn't get sued....

Depend on how the law can be interpreted...if it says he can not have any shares. Than it is a violation. If it says he can't have any relevant shares than it is not.

The company itself is a joke...you are right. But it is active, it has turnover (minimal one) and it is registered as Media company. So technical it is an active media company. Practical it is nothing. And the value of the shares is also very low. I don't know how much room the law gives here. Someone said, it is not the problem that he has the shares, the bigger problem is that he is so stupid and ignorant to not get rid of them long time ago. I kind of agree.

true..that would be possible

I don't know how much is true and how much is anti china propaganda....But it seems the planing for the intra country high speed rail system was bad. a) they connected for huge amount of money areas that simply don't need it b) they make it personal only in the design first and not cargo...which lets out lots of opportunities as I said....not sure if it is true....it is binary....you have people that tell China is perfect and can do not wrong....and people who say China is bad and bankrupt and will complete die. there is very little objective information

shouldn't be a problem in the gulf...also can skip the dive training
