Yes stay non aligned and be a viable opposition. A decade of snuggling up to the military has only brought your party declining supporters and a poor image.

Senior Democrat politician Thaworn Senneam, who won the MP seat from Songkhla, said the Democrats should join the coalition led by the pro-junta Phalang Pracharat.
Wouldn't expect a different opinion from the leader of the PDRC kissing up to the junta. As deputy leader of the Dem party, he and the party executives have been dominating party policies and direction for too long and have cause the party to decline in popularity country-wise and all seats in Bangkok. The MPs should live up to their campaign pledges of not supporting dictatorship and make the decision whether to support Prayut. They should exercise their own democracy in the party.

Withdraw your nomination, abolish article 44 and dissolve the NCPO. That will de-stress a lot of people.

Rumour mill has it that there are red cards at the ready for PTP (25), FFP (18) and just to ensure fairness PPRP (2). Hope this stay as rumour and not excite the citizens too much to do something about it.

It’s a Spicey moment. Those high numbers are fake courtesy of the EC. Already 1 case when FFP demand a re-count after votes were found more than those registered. Now calls to re-count all votes.

Of course, it's completely understandable why Korn recoils at the prospect of working with Pheua Thai - but politics is about compromise, and the opposite is so much worse
There is now calls from the Dem supporters for the executives to step down. The executives like Korn have been making the decisions on party direction for the last decade and have only brought dismal results. The call is to allow the MPs who won seats and accountable to their people to have a voice in the party’s policies and direction. Things may go fairly ambiguous in supporting Prayut. Some MPs call for non alliance to all parties and stay as opposition in Parliament. This not good news for Prayut if that happen.

That's green not yellow. Yellow has been betrayed by the green and big yellow.

Red shirts are so passe. Orange is the new red.
By orange you meant the young student activists and their likes; I agree. Like 1992. The Reds and Yellows are out of the game, disunited, demoralized and leaderless.

This news was on Nation TV which reported that in Beung Kum, after the EC reported that PPRP candidate won with the highest vote, FFP candidate requested a re-count. Reluctantly the EC had to re-count and viola found there were more ballots than should be in the constituency. This is just one constituency that the EC has found wanting and could be more. The EC is a dodgy agency and the final result will be viewed be much suspicion.

The favourite line of junta apologists was that the coup stop civil unrest. It looks like the junta is creating a civil unrest. Over to you junta apologists.

Never heard of that award until now. Is that a prestigious award? The academy is equivalent to the last 3 years of senior high school. Don't think Thaksin even remember that insignificant award. The timing of the removal does make the academy looks silly and petty.

45 minutes ago, webfact said:We are not worried about that," said party leader Uttama Savanayana on Wednesday.
Oh yes, they are worried. The pro-democracy got together willingly and faster than the pro-junta group. Pro-junta having difficulty to string a coalition together. Shows the unwilliness but sure the Dem and BJT will come around when the rewards are sorted out. Kind of like whores.

That's right Eric. The PTP PM candidate is new fresh and not controlled by Thaksin is she?
Oh wait, she's a long term Shin crony personally selected by the big boss himself as leader?
My oh my, you really need to read more.
Shhh BB. I know. We all know. Her background is an open book. Now her coalition has a bigger mission to stop the anti democractic junta from governing next 4 years and creating more inequality to society. You should be proud of what she stand for; no?????.

Even more likelihood of yet another coup very soon with this current scenario.
Maybe not necesssary if we catch the hint from junta Law Minister Wissanu “Wissanu also noted that some MPs could be issued “red or orange cards” over electoral violations, and would affect their parties’ seat counts”.
Plotting in earnest.

It's gonna get nasty in the coming weeks and months because you know that the Phue Thai Party are going to keep insisting they are going to be in charge and unless that happens they will most likely encourage their supporters to once again take to the streets in protest. Big mistake, that's just what the Army will need to once again step in and put them out of business. Taksin and his idiotic minions will never learn, they are never going to be allowed to come to power.

Not likely to happen. They learn their lesson well to keep away and give the military no reason to intervene. They have the majority to wreck havoc in Parliament and bring down the junta PM with a no confidence vote. The fighting will be in Parliament

More like creating a Frankenstein politics that is heading to the cliff. Meechai ahould be proud of his handiwork in creating this fiasco.

You mean hope for TS and YS and the rest of the clan to be able to continue bleeding the country for their own profit?
You meant the country is not bleeding now? The junta has almost emptied the treasury reserves. Debts private and public are growing. If they stay any longer, we may end up like Greece.

1 hour ago, robblok said:They fell short of a landslide because of dwindling popularity, MP's switching sides taking voters with them (shows votes are not bound to PTP but to their local big shots), and of course their failed bet on dragging royalty in the election.
I am happy that you at least admit that this is NOT a landslide victory, its a huge loss even though they are still the largest party (seats wise) they got less votes then the junta party.
Even if you count all constituencies wins from future forward towards the PTP (not fair of course but the best scenario) then they still did worse then before. So that negates the constituencies issue.
Credit to you giving a part answer but here is the real reason.
“The run-up to Thailand's weekend vote was "heavily tilted" to benefit a party close to the ruling military junta, an Asian election monitor said on Tuesday, and criticised a messy ballot-counting process thatcreated mistrust.“.

15 minutes ago, Baerboxer said:It must be wrong vote count Rob. All the TVF Shin fans predicted a massive landslide for the PTP. And they can't be wrong, can they?
Well not in their fantasy world! The reality this is a massive loss for the PTP in vote count and shows the majority of those who voted don't want Thaksin and his family back in charge.
Come on BB. Stop being so naive. Every parties will give a morale boosting pep talk to their members and supporters.
Will you continue to deny that you don’t know the reasons why PTP fell short of a landslide? Anyway they win by the number of seats won and they didn’t contest in all constituencies. Why they didn’t contest all seats; you also know.

Perhaps a new dawn for politics with the older incumbent politicians surrendering seats to the younger newbies. A sign of time for old established parties like the Dem and PTP to become irrelevant to the desires of the younger voters. Prayut may won this battle but may have lost the war when he antagonized the younger citizens.

Give them rope to hang themselves. Their populist policies will create economic disaster. Raising minimum wage to 400-450B, starting salary of 20,000B for BA graduates, 12,000B for tonne of paddy, 65B per kilogram for rubber and a minimum of 5 B for a kg of oil palm seeds. Let's watch the fun when they realize that these policies are just not sustainable in the current global economic uncertainty and they can't fulfill their campaign pledges. The party will not survive even one term with the no confidence possibility hanging over their heads in Parliament.
