Watching the election Sun night there was basically not a mask to be seen yet the fear mongering continues. A friend told he knows someone who is going for their 6th jab. Again the inpatient numbers do not say if it's incedental i.e. gone to hospital for something else and covid has been detected or the age and comorbidity status of the patients. Covid is here to stay and let's just hope it remains the non severe, non fatal (for the majority) Omicron strain.

"Political analysts speculate that despite Pheu Thai’s declared support for Pita, the former biggest opposition party stands ready to form a coalition itself in the event that Pita cannot muster enough parliamentary support to be prime minister. There were rumours prior to the election that Pheu Thai had entered into a secret pact with the military-supported Palang Pracharat Party to form coalition." I really, really hope this isn't the case. Not sure how this would help getting Thaksin back.

If the military senators prevail and insert a minority govt then then the coalition can bring parliment to a stand still and have a vote of no confidence agaist the minority govt which they will win. The people will not stand for a minority military govt. It will be interesting but I still think the senators will abandon Prayut.

Thank you Mr. Chuwit for showing everyone exactly how unhinged you are.

I hope you're wrong too because if you're not this country will explode. I think arrests would be looking on the bright side. There will be mass protests, the military will plant bombs like they did the last time and move in with another coup. Then blood will be spilt and this country will slide into ruin. I don't underestimate these mongrels but I also don't underestimate the Thai people. Let's hope sanity prevails and the will of the people wins out.

A clear mandate for change. I thought they would get >80%. The big take from this though is that out of the 39 million that voted MFP and PT represents around 24-25 million of that vote. That's a lot of people who are sick and tired of the military in govt. and want change. I don't think you can get a clearer mandate. It's also a lot of people who will not be happy if they are not listened to when it comes to the election of PM or worse one or both of the parties gets dissolved. Those trough feeding senators need to see this. Thailand moves forward which is the overwhelming will of the people or complete and utter chaos will ensue.

There will be a referendum to reform the constitution and the senate.

Who? That's the thing. If Prayut somehow manages it or it's another military man I don't think the people will stand for it. MFP coalition will have a clear majority in the house so what would the political situation be with a hostile house against the PM. Can there be a vote of no confindence against the PM? If there can then the ruling coalition would win the vote of no confidence easily thus ousting the PM. I'm not sure.

As I remember the previous govt didn't have a clear majority either. It was a coalition and bought off army generals in the senate that got them in.

They will have 309 MP's. You would expect that part of the coalition deal is to vote for him as PM. I think the 250 senate lackeys will abandon Prayut. The people have spoken in the most emphatic way in Thailand's history. MFP and PT have a clear mandate from the people for change.

Things have advanced considerably from this post. Prayut is gone. Pita will be the new PM of Thailand.

It will not be long before there is a referundum to change the constitution. I think even the EC and the Constitutional Court are even backed into a corner. The people know the are Prayut lackeys and the military know that the coming months could see Thailand transition peacefully or it could be complete chaos. A coup will not work this time. Dissolution of parties will result in an uprising. This is it. Thailand is moving forward.

Not this time. I think real change can happen and this is what the people of Thailand want. I hope you are wrong.

Nothing to see here. When it comes to important news at this time this article is around 0.5/10 for importance.

Things are moving rapidly. Pita is in the process of forming a 309 MP, 6 party coalition. Prayut is gone. Pita will be the next PM of Thailand and the 250 lackey senators will have no choice but to abandon Prayut and accept the will and the mandate of the people.

This is somewhat old news. Things are moving rapidly. Pita is in the process of forming a 309 MP, 6 party coalition. Prayut is gone. Pita will be the next PM of Thailand and the 250 lackey senators will have no choice but to abandon Prayut and accept the will and the mandate of the people.

Looking at the latest news Pita says he is forming a 6 party coalition making 309 MP's. He will be the next PM of Thailand. I can't see the 250 lackey's having any other choice but to accept the outcome and the mandate given by the people. To do so would have massive negative consequences for this country.

The dissolution of the party/parties would though via massive street protests. The army want to maintain their power. This is the coalition I expect. I was wrong. Formation of coalition is underway. Details to be found elsewhere. 6 party coalition 309 MP's. Prayut is gone. His lackeys in the Senate will abadon him.

Ever been drunk on alcohol? Causes more damage to your body than a chuff or two. Never know what will happen with the dope laws. I'm hoping they will see sense and at the very least leave it dicrimanalised.

It would seem they have awakened and in a massive way. This 'movement' cannot and will not be stopped.

From what I've read they were held in estate. I'm no lawyer but I think until the estate is settled the money/shares/stock etc are not yours. Just a thought.

Not long at all and rightfully so. The people have had a gut full and if these military megalomaniacs and if seize power from a massive and indisputable people's vote against them trouble will ensue. Of this I have no doubts. Blood will be spilt.

Yes and this does not bode well for Thailand.

Legal obsticles AKA Prayut's lackeys in the EC and the Constitutional Court. They dissolve either MFP or PT they will have a revolution on their hands and will be guilty of spilling the blood of the people who have clearly and comprihensively voted against them.

It's happened everywhere in BKK. The people have spoken and they want change.
