  1. Both complaints regarding shares and land plot declarations have been nullified. NACC has confirmed that the shares were declared and Pita has already sold the land plot. Runangkrai is running on empty but just being as repulsive clown.
  2. Don't waste your breathe explaining to morons who bring their bad habits here and try to make a nonsenical justifications for their bad habits.
  3. Judging from recent statements by Anutin and Prawit and plus the fact that Prayut is packing and has not spoken politically, I think the junta coalition's back is broken and they have conceded. The MFP and their 6 coalition parties will form the next government and probably will gain 2 more partners by accepting Chart Pattana Kia Party in the coalition with Korn quitting. Left now with the question of who will be PM. When the House Speaker position is settled on Wed, we probably have a clue.
  4. Royalist Seree had threatened EC with dereliction of duty if the agency didn’t submit the case to the courts. EC gave him the cold shoulders. Now he is desperately embarking on a different route on assets declaration and it will mostly likely to go limp as well. Assets and liabilities declaration to NACC are mandatory for all politicians before and after taking office. Pita has not taken office and have time to declare should the land he inherited is an issue.
  5. In that respect, PTP will be the most qualified as the party has more MPs who are familiar with legal and Parliamentary matters. If the talks between the 2 major coalition parties failed, it will go down to decision by votes and most likely PTP will win. But I think both parties are trying to find a solution and maintain the cohesion. I am sure they are worry that the junta parties can still form a minority government and with support from the senates grappled the PM position. The feeling from the grassroots is that PTP may give the speaker position to MFP as they feel that Pita’s PM position is on highly shaky ground on the legal fronts and senates opposition. PTP may see their chance for PM and allow MFP take the house speakership
  6. That's true. MFP only submitted Pita as PM candidate while PTP submitted 3 candidates to EC. Sreetha will be the alternate if Pita is disqualified. I still think Pita will survive and be PM. Unusual for the progress from election to new government to move so fast by the EC. Perhaps political expediency by higher-up at play. Just my 2 cents.
  7. The advice by K Sita must be taken seriously as it’s a race against time to have the House sorted out and have the votes for the Prime Minister on 13 July. The coalition must make the date in order to outrun any attempts by EC to submit the case to the Criminal or Constitution Court. If the EC can’t move the case to either courts before the date, they will unlikely to do so for fear of putting political pressure for Royal endorsement. I think the House speaker position can be resolved amicably by MFP and PT. It probably will settled by having different speakers from alternate parties in each Parliament sessions
  8. Thanks. IMO those impasse by both houses were big obstacles for the opposition coalition 2 years ago. They did mount an attempt to amend and even got to the 3rd and final reading last year before they were denied by the joint votes. I think the dynamics have definitely change after the election. The MFP coalition has more votes and only require some from the junta votes to cross over. Perhaps amend after all the senators term expire. It will be elected senators for sure.
  9. I can agree with that but the scheme was not a populist policy.
  10. The constitution for senate appointments is only a transitory provision and has to be amended by the next government. The provision task the NCPO to select and appoint the senators after the coup. NCPO has been dissolved making the amendment mandatory. Moreover all the appointments will expire next year.The new civilian government will defintely right this wrong and amend for elected senators.
  11. The car discount scheme came about after the big flood which resulted in many car manufacturers losing revenue and considered moving out. The scheme resulted in high sales and enable car manufacturers to recoup their losses and rethink moving out of Thailand.
  12. I will say both actions are for different audience. Think this is rather smart.
  13. Yingluck was charged for breach of statutory duty & malfeasance (junta court) not for scam. Warehouse corruption has nothing to do with Yingluck but the rice surveyors or the warehouse people themselves. if breach of statutory duty & malfeasance was the charge, then surely Prayut should also by charged for the massive corruption in the medical glove procurement scandal which caused losses at over 100 M Baht and the procurement of ATKs. What about the failures in handling the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in widespread closure of many businesses and an economic meltdown. If you in Thailand long, you should know the highly skewed court decisions against democratic political opponents.
  14. Election Commission has a reward system for anyone who can provide evidence of election corruption up to B1 million.
  15. Just your typical frivolous talk without real evidence. You should start your post with IMHO and be quite acceptable. By the way, the law is for donating to party fundings. Thanathorn argued it was a loan and not a donation. Guess who won.
  16. So you have no evidence but just shooting off your mouth. Get a hobby.
  17. You said politicians. Who else besides Thanthorn. We all know that case very well of a popular pro-democracy upstart party that ruffled the feathers of the elites/military and have to be silenced.
  18. Are you insinuating that MFP's fundings are from this richest family. Do you know how political parties are funded according the law? It is ok not to know.
  19. Old, fascist and criminal. False equivalence. Nothing wrong with having an old President. There are older Presidents in the world than Biden if he takes office next year. But fascists are pure evil and criminals should be behind bars not even a slight consideration for any office.
  20. MFP has include a zero-based budgeting approach in their policies. The traditional budgeting approach uses the previous year's budget as a base. The MFP zero-based budgeting approach startes from zero base and requires every government agency to justify all its expenses for the next fiscal year and prioritise their most urgent. Got to like the progressive approach shaking up the old ways which has little accountability and responsibility.
  21. Excellent news for the country. Parliament can now convene and the first order of the day is to elect the House speakers and the deputies within 15 days. Followed by another meeting to select the prime minister. The elected Prime Minister will form the cabinet and be royally endorsed. We should have a civilian government in early August. ????
  22. You dont see the contradiction and banality in your posting?
  23. Thanks for the breaking news. The pressure by the people has paid off. This is a significant first step towards a civilian government after a decade of military junta faux democratic rule. With this batch of certified MPs, the pro democratic coalition parties will form the Parliament majority. All the rumour of PTP snitching out of the coalition and join the junta are baseless.
