what a loser, still no solutions, just some mumbling about a "discussion".

whats he still doing in politics, he is doing more damage than good, besides shouldn't he be preparing his defense for the murder charges he is up against ?

As usual in there with your hand high waving a flag saying look at me I know nothing. The Bangkok post actually said that all Shinawatra's will with draw from politics if justice is returned to the people. If all Shinawatra's withdraw from the government what about his paid stooge's?

If he with draws them also justice will automatically be returned to the people. In my opinion and not pointing fingers any one that thinks an election now with no changes will make every thing good is a complete idiot. Remember I am stating my opinion not pointing fingers.

My opinion stands if the Democrats or one of the small parties win it will still not solve the political situation in Thailand. The PTP has had control for abut 2 and 1/2 years and the only changes they have made harm the Thais. Higher family debt. Higher prices non payment to rice growers and new car buyers reduction in the teaching standards in the schools. For sure that has to end and the only way is to reform the government so it can not do things like that. Not going to happen with a Shinawatra and there extended family including the red shirts in the picture

Besides that I think Thaksin is looking for a way out and save face at the same time. He knows as things stand now he can not win.

Very selective memory totally invalidates any argurement you have!

And what about the rights of those beaten up by these out of comtrol little pricks... I say well done Newin!

Ah a man of the cloth a man of peace a man of much wealth ! What more can I say !

I am also perplexed as to how this monk can remain an active monk while messing in politics. Surely the Sangha have to look at what authority he has to offer an award like this. It has nothing whatsoever to do with religion. Dump him.

What a circus! The ultimate aim is for Thailand to have a democracy Thai style which is one that the amataya or Bangkok/Army Elite are comfortable with.....

The circus you talk about is entertaining. What's entertaining about it is that people like you are so fervent about the elite in BKK. All the while you follow the real elite. Thaksin and his PTP leaders whom you follow bindly. In this country the real elitists think they can uae their money to do anything they want and buy off who they want and harass whoever doesn't do as they say. This sounds a lot like YL, Thaksin, the PTP, and yes even Suthep. Who is the lesser evil? The elite who control all of the GOV and can arrest, kill, or take the peoples money without fear or impunity or the elite that want to make their businesses prosper.

Some of these elite are my friends, I dine with them and there families, we do business together, and we have good heated discussions but respect each others point of view. They know the power play at the moment is moving away from the origins of the small group of power brokers of-the-past and one statesman that is one his way out also. So the younger generation of which I consider good and close friends are really not sure how to posture in this new environment. The family connections, the dining together and the business transactions are weakening from what they were 20-40 years ago and the bonds there fathers and the other elite had together. So although I might favour in some ways PTP as I truly believe in a one-on-one election they would still win, I still challenge my friends as to what policies they and the Dems can come up with to truly drive the economy. Unfortunately they are not capable of ever really answering that question! I just want to see Thailand grow...

< yawn >

Can we move on from "amart" and "elite" . . . your boss and his cronies are just as much "elite" as anyone else involved in this . . .

I don't know where you think I work, but I have no boss in Thailand, and I think my boss as little or no knowledge of Thai politics. As for my opinion, it is formed over knowing and understanding Thai people of every level from farmers/garbage collectors/cooks/drivers/business men/secretaries/government officials and politicians. There are a huge number of non-Bangkok citizens that feel completely disenfranchised by the ongoing judicial politics. No matter what you say or feel, the heart of Bangkok is not the heart of Thailand, and that is where these people are coming from. Thai politics will continue "Thai Style" and the unspoken influence is a swaying factor that all Thai's consider. The problem is when the masses are disenfranchised I personally worry about Thailand working towards something of the natural of Cambodia in the 1970's, and that we do not want to see. Where is their voice? If it can't be at the poles, where can it be?
