I don't know what you talk about. There were no delays...what delays? The EC was way faster than they could be. They have 60 days. They quickly confirmed everyone. Than immediately they met and selected the speaker. No the people did not select a government. There was no government on the ballot. There were parties. Non of the parties could win a majority of the MPs (more than half) so they negotiate a coaliton. With the MPF having 151 and PTP having 141 votes and a majority is >250 there are several different coalition governments possible. Fascists.....google the word....no Fascists here....you can vote them in Italy.

How would you call it? The MPs vote with an majority >250 MPs for a prime minister. All the MPs are democratically elected....sounds democratic, right? But without the Senators they MAYBE (as no one know what game PTP would have played if there are no Senators which they can blame) would have voted for another person. How you call it? It is not undemocratic but it is also not complete clean.

A while ago when my father went to Saudi Arabia, he had to sign that he understand and agree that there is the death penalty on narcotics and that alcohol is a narcotic.... And they kill quite a lot people in SA. So I would rather stay in Thailand

I don't know if that is still the case, but you could book Thai Airways to Austria....and than you sit in an Austrian Airlines airplane. If you would have booked the same as Austrian Airlines flight it would have cost half. If I am a Thai person...maybe not good in English and think...better Thai Airways....I get the food I know, I can speak my language and than you sit in an AUA airplane. Maybe they mention it now, but a few years ago it was not mentioned.

I never heard of Centara Grand......

We were looking for a cleaning woman for 2 years....One that cleans and not only chats all day....Doesn't need to clean like a maniac, but these did not do anything.

I always wanted to be a hatter

The Thai government must protect the Thais....not the Farangs. It is not nice for us.....but they don't need to be nice. That is not xenophobia that is protection. I wish my European country would do the same.

Do you think the Democrats will vote for Pita? That won't go down well with the last few supporters.

yes you are most probably right, but Pita is not the only possible democratic elected PM. Other persons will also have a majority of MPs. That solution with the senators is pretty bad, but not that much undemocratic as people say. I don't know how the new selection of them, when they expire will happen..

no it won't.....maybe some demonstrations and some teargas, but I can't see any people who want violence. And if the protests aren't violent the police won't. I expect some mean words...and maybe some lawsuits because some crazy speak about murdering someone....but no or not much violence. Red and Yellow have experiences with demonstrations. Orange has not

yes and no one should have the right to say what is allowed and what not. As long as no one is hurt and everyone is of age people......I almost wrote "should be allowed to do what the want". But that is wrong. There should be no one with the authority to allow or ban something.

Could be for just in case....

Nobody? That is rich......you spoke with everybody on the planet?

the senats are a nonsense but the can not block much, they can only bend a little bit. They aren't a single block They can't block an overwhelming vote of 376 MPs They can't install a PM who has less than 250 votes in Parliament (because he can't govern without majority). So it is only that they have some influence.

democracy would be for example PTP+BJ+Dems+the small parties....>50% all good

yes a coup does not necessarily mean by the military....every armed group could make a coup.

No Pita was not voted by the people as Thailand votes for parties. MF was the strongest party with 38% of the votes which is 28% of the possible voters. 28% is not "the people" as 72% did not MF. Any government that has more than 50% of the MPs is democratic and there are many different options, as PT is almost as strong as MF.

I said in 2 years we'll all miss boring Prayut.......He is not even PM and we miss Prayut....

and it is stupid show politics for too young to vote hiso Bangkok....That won't help any Esaan farmer who have too much debt and can't pay it back.

maybe some porno laws...these still exist in Thailand

beside the sleeping it is a disrespect to sleep while other speak

And nice that now some young people get in power....

For me not.....but for Thai people yes.....We have similar crazy laws in Germany and Austria....Things we are not allowed to speak....I don't agree with it but changing would make so many people upset that it is impossible

MFP and PTP are part of the rich elite of Thailand. MFP is Thai Summit which is a huge car manufacturer. PTP is the Shinawattra clan. It is not democracy against the elites.....it is which Oligarch wins over the other, or if it is the men in green uniform.
