This whole witch hunt has now reached kindergarten level.

Seems to be at least a legal expert....

A little bit. He only interprets his self-written laws in his benevolent sense.

The majority of the Thai people want a new government and voted accordingly. The old country leadership has in fact been voted out, but they have difficulties in understanding and accepting this democratic process. On the contrary. Now all sorts of tricks are being used to sabotage the will of the majority of the population.

One of the most blatant miscarriages of justice must be must be Fatty Prawit and his watches scandal - I don't know ANYONE who has borrowed a watch (es!) from a friend, and to say that that friend is now dead, so you can't return it (them!) has got to be one of the lamest excuses ever! And to put the icing on the cake, to then say that you had forgotten about them anyway! 

Or the sad case of Paween Pongsirin, which shows that honest people don't stand a chance in the criminal swamp. Where an investigator had to flee to Australia because his findings also affected influential people in Thailand and he had to fear for his life.

One wonders;

What comes first?

a. Their own personal well-being or

b. The welfare of the Thai people.

I know the answer.

A law that bans or restricts ownership of media companies for politicians makes sense.

The purpose is to rule out party-political influence on public opinion and broadcaster policy.

In the current case, the question arises as to whether such an influence has actually taken place or whether it would be possible. Both are obviously to be denied here.

The iTV channel has been inactive for a long time. Media influence on public opinion is therefore technically impossible. Even the share of 0.003% on a closed media company does not suggest that it would be possible to influence broadcaster policy here.

Any other neutral electoral commission or any other independent constitutional court in the world would not even accept such a case for consideration.

Unfortunately, the necessary neutrality of the Thai EC is not given. They are the same people who were put in place by Prayut after the coup.

He claimed that he had closely monitored the MoU drafting process and discovered that the contents of document were the result of negotiations ....

The guy doesn't seem to be the brightest candle on the cake.

Sure not the media.....they were very pro MF. But I agree otherwise, I can't see much democracy...

I'm sorry, what? Not the media? I clearly remember the years of synchronization of all major television stations, where Prayut then advertised his politics for hours every Friday evening.

They've a lot to do there. Maybe first ensure that democratically elected majorities can also function accordingly in the system.

That is ridiculous. 42000 shares inherited in 2006. The company share is less than 1%. Pita tried to sell the shares. He has also reported his shares to the EC. iTV a micro-channel without any meaning.

Where is there supposed to be or have been any influence on popular opinion or on broadcaster policy?

Any democratic constitutional court in the world would not even accept such a case for review.

But not in Thailand.

Since the coup, Prayut and his cronies have completely controlled the media, the EC, the CC and the Senate. No democracy can function in such a constellation.

It is clear from the election that the majority of the people want a change. If this time the will of the majority of the people, can be so easily suppressed by flimsy tricks of the establishment; I have my doubts about that.

250 senators who are financially exceptionally privileged. Then a young election winner comes along and wants to introduce taxes for big plot landowners and ensure a fairer distribution of national income. It's all about the money. The anti-monarchy argument is just an excuse for a witch hunt.

5:30pm? There was enough daylight. How irresponsible (stupid) someone have to be, to drive a boat with 33 passengers in daylight, full throttle into concrete pillars. 

The EC will certify the election results within 60 days. (TNA)

Let's see what tricks are still being tried within the 2 months to twist the result.
