    That is great to hear. I use to enjoy arranging campaigns like that. Takes me back to my militant union boss days.

    Those senators need to be named and shamed. Boycotts of any businesses they are connected to should be started. Make their lives hell

    I would think if they were to abstain then only 251 votes would be required to elect a new Prime Minister.

    That is really bad

    Trump most definitely is a laughing stock in most countries other than say Israel. He is likely right about ending the Ukraine war. Without American $$$$$ and technical assistance it would end quickly. After calling out Neo-cons for years Trump should explain why he appointed Bolton to his position. Same for Biden and Victoria Nuland.

    8hrs a day on social media? No wonder I can never find someone to help me in the shops. They are all in the back catching up on the FaceBook.

    Thailand has a Parliamentary system. The prime minister needs a majority of the lower house to vote for legislation to pass anything.

    How ridiculous. Arrest these people but let the military brass who stole democracy from the Thai people get away with treason scot free.

    They will share governing therefore both are winners as are regular Thai people

    The people of Thailand would best be served if all the anti-democratic parties disappeared.

    It will get sadder yet for you. The Thaksin party will hold the balance of power in the upcoming coalition gov.

    Good on Thailand.

    I'm stuck here in the great white north. Are there tanks in the streets of Thailand yet?

    I don't believe that was the case. Neitherwould work with any of the coup participants was what was stated.

    Doesn't mean the official results will reflect that

    Sounds like shaping public opinion for a stolen election.

    Yes, banning handguns would bring about huge change in the number of Americans dying from guns. The role model countries for reducing gun violence are Japan and the UK.

    Meanwhile next door in Canada AR 15 type rifles have just been banned. Hand guns, the most used murder firearm weapon. has been highly restricted since the 1930's. In 2018 there were 249 firearm murders in Canada with a population of nearly 40m. How many USA cities had more? One of the reasons I never visit that Looney Tunes country which is only 60 miles from where I live.

    How many times has the head of the Thai military stated that before a coup?

    His parties have won every fair election since 2001. Democracy is about to return to Thailand. Time for you to get the tissues handy. Verdicts from kangaroo courts are meaningless. That's why every location Thaksin has traveled to has disregarded them.

    If it's the will of the Thai people then it should happen.

    A coalition seems to be taking shape. if one party is disqualified the other gets a landslide. Both PT & MF would need to be off the ballot for the greens to retain power. Should that happen the Red Shirts & students will shut the country down.

    There is an institution with more influence in Thailand than the parliament. The master puppet master Prem has finally left us. This may put Thaksin in a much better position than in the past. Personally I just want true democracy to prevail. If I was voting it would be for the left leaning Foward bunch

    Without those Red Shirt protests there would not have been an election called in 2011.

    I walked amoungst the BKK intersection protesters prior to the last coup. It was populated with the general's own Yellow Shirt supporters and some southern malcontents. His latest statements therefore should be taken as a threat not a warning. it was
