Fantastic piece of 'journalism' full of essential details about the qualities of the new PM of Thailand. Please keep up the good work.

The PM may have changed but the judges haven't. The right to protest and the right to free speach (the latter isn't exactly the case anymore) are two major underpinnings of democracy. Thailand is in no way a democracy.

Extremely well put. If I could give you multiple thumbs up emojis I would have.

You can bet your bottom baht that PT and it's allegiance with the military/elites will do everthing it in can to get MFP dissolved. MFP are now not only the enemy of the military elite but also the enemy of PT. PT knows that come the next election they will lose votes to MFP.

The majority of "Thai person" voted for Pita but you most definately can thank the junta non elected senators because without them you woudn't be PM. Pita would.

PT is against it. They are not a progressive party. They are a populist party.

We'll see at the next election. I would say MFP if it's still in existence will get the PT youth vote. More than what they got this time.

PT voters wanted the military out. Be in no doubt about that. Thaksin: Coupt. Yingluck: Coup. (I was here for both). Now PT is in bed with the coup makers. Not what PT voters voted for.

No it was a minority that voted against change hence the election result. The majority voted for change and won. It was a very, very, very, very miniscule minority (250 senators) that stopped what the people voted for. No system in the west has unelected senators that can do what was done here.

He's a billionaire not a general. He's also not in government. Little fatty is and he's protected.

You seem to have a short term memory. MFP coalition had almost 67% just between MFP and PT so not inluding the other smaller parties. MFP won the popular vote. 38.01% which is NOT 30%. MFP has the most seats (151) of any single party so with your logic Pita should be PM. I agree. As for the current coalition are you saying they got 70% of the election votes? PT got 28.86%, MFP as I say 38.01% so I'm having a bit of trouble with where you get current coalition having 70% of the vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Thai_general_election

I'm astounded anyone can use the word democracy in this utter farce. Maybe you can explain the democracy behind 250 senators overruling the large majority vote of the people who elected Pita and MFP with 151 seats and 38% of the votes. There is no democracy in Thailand and PT have joined with the elite/junta who have absolutely no interest in democracy only maintaing power. This has happened. The people were denied a democratically elected government.

Move to dissole MFP.

People voted for reform and ousting the military elites. The military elites are still there. By the way MFP won 38.01% of the votes and PT 28.86%. That's 66.87% combined (a huge majority in anyones language) for the ousting of the military elite. As I say the military elites are still there and the people's voice has been usurped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Thai_general_election It seems it's you who has the lack of understanding.

A traitor to the people who voted for refom and the ousting of the military. The junta still have their snouts in the trough only now must share with PT.

People didn't forget the Democrats and the were decimated at next election.

Thais buy lots of stuff off of FB.

Maybe or maybe this is deflection. Either way PT is finished.

This aint about FB. This is about information control. As for it being a caretaker govt the next govt will be pretty much the same. A junta govt. PT are not seperate from the junta. They are now part of it.

I doubt very, very much the treachery will be forgotten or forgiven. "You make your bed" as they say and PT's bed is now full of their sworn enemies.

Close.

Fairly sure Prayut and Prawit are not waiting for advice from Thaksin. I think you have missed the drift of my post.

Maybe the uncles are waiting for advice.

It will be before that. By election in Rayong. I'm betting PT votes will dissapear. Edit: I take that back. PT are not fielding a candidate.

You can say what you like but it doesn't change the fact that PT sold out their support base and jumped into bed with the enemy.
