Stoner. You can always respect the position and not the person in the position. While serving in military I saluted a lot of officers that I did not respect and served a few prime ministers I thought were idiots.

Actually I think the result might be different in that the whole thing about 112 can be debated. But more importantly by the time a new election can be set up and new vote for pm held there may not be a Senate to vote. Remember that these clowns cease to exist as senators in may. A caretaker government would have a lot of difficulty selecting a new one. I also think that people may open their eyes. Yes I am being optimistic.

Not really any coalition must include either PT or MFp and them joining with a military party is suicide. Best solution is to throw out the election and redo it

I think we can respect the crown in any country. Unfortunately people didn't read what they want to do just listened to the military babble

It won't but it is the perfect solution to the end of military rule. If that happens then it will be all hell let loose pt and MFp supporter in the streets. First chance they have no confidence motion and back to elections

EX GF grandmother loved 2 things and could never get enough Chang beer and betel leaves if she was not drinking she was chewing LOL

MFP can not drop the 112 legislation If they do they might as well dissolve the party. The people that elected them did so primarily on the 112 article. Given a choice of dropping Art 112 legislation or losing the better move in the long run is to lose. Let the people that do take over deal with it and the protests and people.

Moving MFP from the coalition would be the best thing that could happen to MFP. They would then be the official opposition and would be able to then make life complete hell for the government. Remember that the only way that PT can form a government is with a coalition. Take away MFP, and the PT is left making deals with Prawit and Anutin. That would make them, by default a military backing party. Not a good idea in this day and age. also, the people will start to remember all those great promises that PT made and start looking for the 10k baht as well as guaranteed wages for BA holders. PT would also have to deal with all the protestors and would be very carefully watched to see who they put in as senators next spring. This may in fact be a case of be careful what you wish for you might just get it.

No, but I think you will see a ramp-up of protests and people going after the senators that did not vote. The stupid thing is that those who abstained think it was a smart move that says they did not vote.HOWEVER, abstaining is the same as a no vote in that it did not move the needle for Pita Here is a thought if a person abstains, that is, one less vote needed consider that of those that were there and voted he had enough yes votes.

I think you better look again AlJazeera, BBC and CNN are reporting. That sort of covers the whole world. Do people in other countries care not in most cases but there is a strong democracy move on the left that wants to see a more free Thailand

the challenge that Thaiand faces is not a coup because most of the people both MFP and PT supporters know that song and dance too well and have stopped drining the military will save us Kool-Aid. The only way out of this is a. put MFP in power as the people want b. put PT in power and let The man in Dubai run things again c. have either Anutin or Prawit for a government. d. go with no government Of the 4 choices I think the best one for the country would be A Next would be C. C because the only way to resolve this that the people will stop protesting is to put in a minority government to act as a caretaker. then VOTE NO CONFIDENCE and have a brand new election. The requirement is that all parties submit their nominations for PM to the EC and they be vetted and approved or denied prior to the election. MFP art 112 This is a joke and a non starter. Also stopping Joe Shmo from eavesdropping on a conversation in a coffee shop and charging the person sitting beside him of Lese Majeste is a good thing. What the Senate and backers of the military are forgetting along with MSM is that even if Pita and MFP run the government ANY LEGISLATION OR AMENDMENTS to the constitution have o be voted on by the House and Senate. In order to pass an amendment to the new constitution a.a new rule on constitutional amendment, requiring a vote of merely three-fifths of the members of the combined two chambers of b. a referendum to the people must also happen. the articles in question are not guaranteed to be changed by MFP. The bottom line is that young people and Big City dwellers are not going to want a Military government

Felton that is fallacy imagine how many battleship they would need for every idiot American. Embassies were never created to deal with people that end up in jail other than to make sure they are being treated fairly and their family back home is notified. Embassies were created so that countries had representative that can discuss political or trade issues. Military attaches are there primarily to discuss the difference in military style

No because any mass casualty this weekend will be civilian and under rtp control

The fixation with jack suggests that you have a jack problem. You don't say where you live but just getting out for a coffee. Taking a class any class. Dating not bar dating with someone who can have an intelligent conversation

I use that also and work thru obs fory zoom meeting I had trouble with a wired mic switched to headphone mic combo problem solved. Wireless or wired is not the issue

Have you been there and not everything is embellished or made up there are many interviews with expats that have done time Not everything on the net is fntasy? Or have ou done time in a Thai prison and can speak from experience

You do not have to be an inmate to know there is enough on the web to tell what it is like. As well as comments on here . The bottom line is that Thai prisons are not meant to be the social cub they re in western countries. We all know that if you get caught with drugs it is not going to be a wonderful experience. I find that he probably embellished the facts. I m sure that the food was not to his level or standards if he didn't wnt to eat it tht is his problem.

thank you

Everyone in the world knows that SEAsian prisons just like south American prisons are hell holes. These countries do not look at rehabilitation it is punishment. We also know that embassies can do little If you are famous or have famous parents it means nothing unless you are Thai No sympathy you do the crime you do the time

The challenge to that all is first of all will Thaksin go along wth it. The fact that MFP has a huge number of members in parliament. It will be very hard for the military to get anything through because Thaksin is not gong to want to give up any power from his party and MFP is too strong along with the protestors and other groups. I m not sure that MFP expected to win so many seats they seemed unprepared. But being the loyal opposition will give them a chance to learn I think the original plan was to be shadow government to PT and then take the next election Let's face it Pita did not seem ready

Pita was listed as the leader of the party therefore when people voted for that party they voted for him. Just the same as pt votes for a thaksin government or the different military parties have their leaders. This idea that a vote for pm is BS in A TRUE democracy once the election is held the new party takes over and there is no need for a vote. The military and certain rich people want to rig this so that they keep control. Putting anutin in power would mean that in a year or 6 months there would be another election

I would think they are like any animal leave me alone and steer clear ok Get near a baby and momma all betscare off

Livestock would-be the best choice I think. Thai's like pork
