Prawit claims there was a conspiracy to get school pupils to make political statements in their offerings to teachers. His reasoning was that the pupils can't think. ????????

A well-informed party source said that a group of party members, who were closely associated with Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban’s People’s Democratic Reform Committee which spearheaded the protests against the government of Yingluck Shinawatra, and candidates contesting the party leadership post want the party’s list of potential ministers to be reviewed.

The real truth as to why the PDRC spearheaded the protest. It was all for financial rewards; probably promised by the junta. It was all planned and they are doing it for the money. 

Khun Siripong, please consider leaving the party. The party don’t deserve someone like you. 

Cockroaches will only come out of their secured place when the conditions are right. 

Please start with how Prawit got those watches. There are sufficient matters that will keep the anti junta bloc busy in Parliament.

Eric, stop trying to ignore the Shin corruption and nepotism and pretend it never happened. Do us all a favor and recognize it did, was massive and a growing cancer in Thailand. 

 

Criticizing the Junta whilst trying to sanitize previous corrupt civilian regimes isn't moving on. It's narrowing the mind.

You really has became a junta recalcitrant. Shin corruption and nepotism were dealt with some interpretations from the court, assets seized and even forcefully removed. Your dream junta team with full frontal corruptions is untouchable. And those appointed crony nepotistic senators got your pal another 4 years. Your moral compass need calibrating.

Eric, I am not going to write down all instances when your beloved PTP was engaging in nepotism. That would derail the whole topic. Like i said if you did not see it you were blind.

 

Its bad then and its bad now. You got bad moral judgement as you seem to think its ok in one instance and not in the other. Nepotism is bad period.

Others have move away from the but but rebuttal but not you. Moreover I don’t think you fully understand the severity of a crony upper house that resulted in the crook appointment of the Prime Minister. Nepotism is bad but this is toxic.

Yea Eric, I know but if you don't remember the countless instances of nepotism in previous governments you must have been blind.

 

It was not good back then, and it is not good now, worse maybe even as you said they have more power. But its stupid to think an other government would do it any different.

 

Just one example (and I could write page after page) was all those committees with family members on them getting a salary (was discussed a lot on this web board)

 

The junta are crooks and nepotism rules but the previous government had massive nepotism problems too. If you deny that then i doubt you have been living in Thailand.

Massive nepotism! So this mother of all nepotism where a Prime Minister was grossly selected was to your eyes equal to past nepotism. You really have a poor sense of moral judgement.

No need to come up with it I am sure you remember the saga's of nepotism with other governments. Nepotism has always ruled Thailand and its disgusting. I wonder if we will ever see a real change. I doubt it.

Other governments don't have a fully appointed senators and with reserved places for military generals. Take for example the 1997 constitution, all senators are elected. Even the 2007 constitution has 50% elected senators while the other 50% were selected by a National and Provincial Selection Committee and the EC involved in the appointment. The junta ripped the 2007 constitution and installed the highly controversial amendment for full appointment and the appointment committee made up of NCPO inner circle. This is totally corruption beyond all scope.

Disgusting !!

House speaker Chuan Leekpai submitted a petition with the Constitutional Court yesterday, asking it to investigate if 41 members of the chamber could have qualification issues.

Prerogative of the House speaker to recognize the compliant from the members. I applaud Chuan's decision to accept the complaint and forwarding it to the CC. If the speaker is from PPRP, the complaint for sure will not be taken up. 

All hands on deck in a desperate effort to undermine FFP credibility. Just show how afraid the establishment are of FFP.
