Pheu Thai breaking with Move Forward to form its own coalition
Don't be fooled. See my previous posts. This might actually be some magnificiant political maneuver to oust the military once and for all. Absolutelty intriguing politics this is on a grand scale. A movie should or will be made about this. Very, very fascinating and I say this as a person educated in polical science.

I agree. There's more to this than meets the eye.

Pheu Thai breaking with Move Forward to form its own coalition
I posted this on another thread before this one popped up and I have slightly edited it. PTP have dumped MFP and will form a coalition and I would expect government. They also said (reported elsewhere and cannot be sourced i.e. BP) they would reform and ammend the constitution and this seems to be in relation to the appointed senators and call a new general election. Interesting politics indeed. Let's see what happens. PTP must show their support base they have not betrayed them. MFP will be opposion but if PTP and MFP vote as a block in the house of reps along with the other coalition partners they will have the numbers to change the constitution and bring about a new election. All PTP parlimentarians would have to cross the floor to vote with the opposition MFP. Talk about political machernations. It's insane and all because of 250 appointed generals by the coup leadership to entrench their power and override any democratic election result that threatens it. The more I think about this the more intersting it becomes. PTP could actually be like 5th columnists in plain sight and cross the floor and vote against the government i.e. itself and it's military/conservative/royalist coalition or abstain on basically every vote. Is this actually possible?

Thaksin’s imminent return stirs hope, anxiety in Thailand
Prayut has disappeared people too. Now the military and PTP might get into bed together. This can't be a good thing for Thailand.

A Closer Look at Buddhist Lent and Dharma Day in Thailand
It shouldn't affect anyone at all. It shouldn't exist. Every Thai I talk with about this says it's stupid. Mind you I tend not to associate with religious conservative types. ps stocks in fridge running low so I just went and bought a bit more.

A Closer Look at Buddhist Lent and Dharma Day in Thailand
How many of those 95% drink alcohol and how many stocked up for these two days? The reality is Thais drink alcohol no matter what day it is. Alcohol is available for purchase on Buddhist alcohol sales ban days throughout Thailand just not in 711, Big C, restaraunts, bars etc due to this anachrostic religious dictate. This is the reality. Nothing to do with me not respecting the culture.

A Closer Look at Buddhist Lent and Dharma Day in Thailand
They can have their religious celebrations but it shouldn't impact a total country with the rediculous alcohol sales ban. If Buddhists don't want to consume alcohol on these days then that should be their right. To take the right of purchasing alcohol away from the majority who do want to purches alcohol is simply absurd. It also impacts business so this is just religion dictating what can and cannot be done.

Mysterious death in Dubai of Thai worker prompts urgent investigation
Maybe so but to do this with a garbage bag taped to your head, give yourself head injuries then jump into a khlong my 1st guess would not be suicide.

Mysterious death in Dubai of Thai worker prompts urgent investigation
Mysterious deaths of foriengers in Thailand. Suicide or drugs. I still remember years ago someone was found hands bound behind their back with a plastic bag tied over their head found in a canal. This was deemed to be suicide.

Move Forward MP being probed over past criminal record
Let my retard self educate you. Thailand court allows minister to keep post despite drug conviction Published 5 May 2021 Thailand's top court has allowed a government minister to keep his job, dismissing a bid to disqualify him over a past conviction for drug trafficking in Australia. Thammanat Prompao was jailed for four years in 1994 for his role in a heroin smuggling case. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57001674 Hence my post: "Heroin. Conviction. Australia. No problem." Seems I'm not the only retard on this site. I also have manners which it seems some on this site are rather lacking in.

Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport
Sort of. MFP had to form a coalition to gain power. They did this. In any other 'democratic' counrty this would be accepted and the coalition would form a government. Thailand, however, it depends on 250 unelected senators put in place by a military junta to decide if they like you or not.

Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport
Democracy is in no way on show here. It's the complete opposite. What is on show is a system put in place by a military junta to assure their power even after elections where the people voted them out.

Protesters Urge 8 Coalition Partners To Not Switch Sides
Alas it is self interest and the status quo and not the people's will. This whole thing was very well planned by the military junta. If the election saw PTP with a landslide victory the same would have happened. They would not have been allowed to take power. Now they will get into bed with the very same elites that would have dinied them to form a government. The only way forward now is to overthrow the entire establishment. The next so-called government will replace the senators next year with more generals and Thailand will remain under the control of the military. Very sad times for Thailand.

OPINION: New Thaksin chapter about to begin
He's never stopped and will never stop. The big stumbling block was the majority of voters voted for reform. This as I have said before cannot be allowed. PTP will now join with the parties the voters of PTP voted to oust. Thailand will remain under military control until there is an uprising to overthrow the minority powers. The new 'government' has absoultely no right to utter the word democracy. Thailand is not and never will be a democracy until the minority powers are overthrown.

He's coming back. A deal has been done. MFP are gone. PTP now sleeps with the enemy. The military retain control. A coup without a coup. They (the military) win again even though they lost. The people of Thailand have been bertayed.

Coming back to sleep in the same bed as the military. Not in exile. Not a fugitive. A TRAITOR.
