Plenty of scared conditioned fools still out there. Que panic and vaccine scam 2.0..

Correct, Its a constitutional monarchy with v strong military input its NOT a democracy as most would understand it .. You might not like it but then you or I dont matter, you think the EU is actually a democracy ? its not. eg EU parliament leaders are appointed not voted for & they make rules and Lord it over the other democratically elected countries Govs by non democratic means and diktat. The people of Europe get no say or vote at all on anything the EU itself does or decides to do. Half of Europe arnt even democracies they are either republics or constitutional Monarchies. Heck even the US is a Republic not a democracy. D word is thrown around like its some badge of honour but there are versions that differ hugely globally, dosnt mean good or effective government or improvement for the people or its culture, thats a western concept. Some are terribly corrupt such as Ukraine or stagnated like Japan or going backwards like the EU & theres plenty of failed democratic states ie Sri Lanka or Bangladesh .. Thailand is what it is and will be just fine without a fashionable "progressive" party like MF .. TIT & its no biggie to cancel a party and ban its leaders etc. MF played the game but didnt prepare well enough, grease the right palms, was naive and dropped the ball. It won 38% which is not sufficient to form a government alone. Then it failed to mediate well enough to find support among the optional alternative parties to power share so ultimately lost the game. MF isnt the first party to be dissolved and wont be the last, nor do I care one jot. Seen the coups and various parties/leaders come and go and the last thing i want Thailand to become is just another globalist basket case to appease most foreigners idea of what they think is best.. . Personally I like the Thai version of management much better thank you warts and all & fell in love with the country many years ago, not its system. I did find it very funny to see Pita crying like a child. Thats not a future leader of substance or Thailand, but then weak men do that a lot these days. Will he still be around in politics 10 years from now or buckle down to grind it out over the next few years ? like the Shinawatras etc did/have ? I highly doubt it..

Yeah right. The US and EU should have more concerns about their own political circus shows and untouchables... might not be at war all the time, declining into crime ridden cess pits & economic basket cases themselves. May Thailand always remain a Monarchy & fiercely patriotic,listen to none and act as they decide best for their own nation.... It'll be better off even with the inevitable mistakes than doing what the "globalist" community prefers..

Judging by the article, these clowns don't have a scooby doo what to do.

Oh no... quick panic..

My my, there are a lot of sour pusses here these days... what a sad bunch you are

Correct, Myanmar no1 followed by Laos, Cambodia & Chinese make up the vast majority and homeless too. Difference is no one knows if they are foreigners to look at so assumes they are all Thai .. not true & all have much more chance of finding work and often do for a time. Westerners stand out and do not.

Heads it goes ahead, Tails it doesn't.

I couldn't care less.. Never been jabbed never worn the face [mask] & never stopped going out during the silly panic & didnt get sick either tho plenty jabbed in triplicate or not did.. its just life, get on with it and leave the fear behind.

What measure, patriotism & love for country as a monarchy ? Dont be ridiculous there is zero comparison but in your own head. Correct, its a constitutional Monarchy. Reforms are required yes ofc but i dont believe MFP have those ideas correct or are well placed. Pita was Educated in New Zealand, & studied finance in Thailand. He further studied politics and business in the United States. Even Pita himself notes the 2000 U.S had a significant impact on his political views. Ie hes a progressive left leaning politician & strongly influenced by western version of democracy and been riding the populist wave. However Thailand is not the west thank goodness, far from it. Western politics do not suit Asia and imo will make things worse with more debt & more dilution of what makes Thailand Thai and no1 for tourism being its so unique in so may ways. Better to look to Singapore's success and take notes from there or even India the largest democracy on Earth before the western versions which have become tarred and corrupted long ago.

Careful what you wish for. Thailand is in many ways unique and thats its appeal to many and has pride in itself most here cannot even understand or why. With almost all Thai people loving their nation regardless of what smart assed westerners say here or think. Contrast it to the west thats culturally ruined and economically failing fast & where most are ashamed of their nation have no pride in or cant wait to get the heck out. The young elite are no better than the old crustys, wrapped up in their social media bubbles and tik tok etc chasing made up utopian fantasy's following the heard and propaganda of the western education system and international bodies, that do nothing but ruin a nations Identity over time .. MFP are just young elite sheep being manipulated by outside influence & ideas imported back after being educated mostly aboard in the west make no mistake. Better to be Thai and stay uniquely Thai with all the warts or itll be just another global copy with sun...

Was it a Dusit inspired poll model by any chance ?

Facts dont care about your feeling

100% agree but its a bit worse for 1 & 2 1. Its going to devastate the lazy ass generational inheritors who dont work & much of their assets too. 2 Those in charge already sold everyone out including their own by inaction and corruption. Its too late to put the genie back in the bottle.. takes years for the average Gov to act.. AI & robotics isnt waiting and will present as the obvious answer to much and be welcomed first. Think Skynet ( already a real company btw ) 3 Cap doffers and forelock tuggers will be dead in a few decades & indeed be replaced by patient polite caring AI companions which will be welcomed by the afore mentioned whose arthritis will be getting too bad to raise an arm. They going NEED conscription & once the dam bursts for jobloss more than enough will welcome it as an opportunity for something to do. let alone some crusty's who think its a good idea or opposition, the young WILL demand and get UBI & go quietly because eventually that will be all most know and have for choice . Guessing 2028 - 30 things will become obvious to all Its not all bad ofc... IF we get past the transition stage in a couple of decades power will become dirt cheap if not free and then most everything elses value will collapse because of it... for those left anyway. You will own nothing and be happy & they wernt kidding and guess what ? Some good news and maybe bad as a cherry on top Klaus Schwab, father of the World Economic Forum, is stepping down as head of the gathering of global elites after a hefty 53 years. Replacement top runner atm is .... Tony wmd Blair

Defo the service industry is v keen on automation. Wages and pensions costs make it a no brainier. Largest online only supermarket and leading retail tech group here moved to its new updated & automated warehouse a few months ago, cut its warehouse positions by 1200 then cut half its head office support depts by 25%. Only dept that grew was delivery drivers. Large retail brands from Banks to all high street names are closing their doors and or cutting locations. It'll only continue.. The gig economy is also on borrowed time, copywriters, artists, travel agents & translators defunct & gone v soon. Translators will very soon even cope with Issan, Bronx & Scouse slang no problem . Pretty sure trades and jobs that require specific critical thinking and adaptive skills such as Plumbing, Decorating, General Builders, Handyman & Landscaping/Gardeners will be ok for some time due to the complexity & variety. Auto Mechanics & most shop/ office staff wont fare well I agree and so many others. From highly paid executives to the cashier Anyone in accounting/payroll & half of office depts will vanish as will much of the middle management and executives along with them. Many highly paid professional sectors especially services consulting will have to retrain in something they dont understand or likely enjoy or be unemployed. About 50% of over 40s will not or cannot make that change that late in their career/life. Teachers/tutors will be replaced by a personal AI tutor able to both relate and never ridicule or lose patience with the child, or adult. Each to their own ability and pace and at the same time being a mentor will also become their confidant and therapist. Possibly their personal doctor too. AI is already increasingly used in diagnosing conditions and can spot things on xrays & tests the best doctors cannot. All of it on an app or program you can take with you anywhere, on any platform and will write its own migration software to do so. Theres already some mind blowing tech and start ups out there using AI to create agents to self improve and specialise and they arnt going to get anything but better.. And yes people have not made enough noise early enough and responsible for allowing it but then most everyone has no clue of its scope and influence already, being far too wrapped up in life, paying the bills, dealing with the usual stuff and on the wheel to pay much attention other than happily accept any convenience thrown at them... .. alas most would rather tap and go etc until they cant on what they want only what they are sanctioned to buy, where an when, just as Thailand's proposed digital handout will be. The only thing I can see that will slow things down would be a crash in the global power grids from something like a solar storm frying a large % of everything electrical which ofc would cause instant chaos riots & mayhem in turn. Or more likely as economies attempt to transition use anything to distract the populous such as regional wars etc. Be well m8 im glad im not 18 today thats for sure.

Not yet but Labour isnt saving anything let alone going to change the direction of innovation or tech nor slow things down now is it ? The entire political class is way behind the curve and the civil service who really run the country decade in decade out dosnt care about anything but its own pay cheques & is only reactive not proactive which is badly needed. ie its not fit for purpose. Only thing to do is pay attention and adapt as best possible. Trade skills and people who can fix things & practical is an option, for now. Social science degrees and skills in moaning not so much.

Tory or Labour dosnt really matter imo they are the uniparty.. Same crap just different colours. I expect more of the same for most under Labour

Its just a floated talking point atm from a party that is toast but I believe by the end of the next term it'll become reality. As for the cost ? its already being talked about in the private sector as inevitable industry tax costs vs profit. If the math works in their favour overall the big players will agree readily and they set industry standards .. SME in most sectors dont stand a chance of keeping up and are already collapsing faster than in our history. IMO & sadly the trend will continue. Just take a walk down a high street or industrial unit centers in the UK or look at the state of empty office accommodation to see it.

You have your head in the proverbial sand. I dont like it either but im not fool enough to pretend its just another industrial revolution, its way past that already. You cant retrain farmers to be AI engineers or warehouse staff to robotic maintenance crews. Whats coming ISNT like Marx envisioned at all no, this will be much much more disruptive.Think automation on ever increasing steroids regarding mental tasks as well as physical & creative and its global, starting in the most developed countries. Why do you think theres push for military conscription ? de globalisation is already well underway. Taxes largely come from working people & govs take whats happening in the private sector already very seriously. UBI is in pilot stages in many countries & not everyone is going to be happy about it so control will be needed, human for now. AI is already widely used and will drastically effect everyone over the next 10 years. Within 15 every industry will have reduced its workforce and costs significantly . You dont attend industry meetings and trade shows maybe but I do. There is a huge push and investment interest for automation & AI prospects, literally hundreds of billions is being invested.. from AI Art to music, sales to warehouse, from farming to IT, from Media to Law, Medical to Real estate, Management to Security. Education to Research etc etc its already happening . Big corps will continue to push things as fast as they are able seeking more profits & Jobs are going to be done increasingly faster, better, cheaper, more efficiently and reliably with the continuing development of AI. Possibly soon, true AGI will happen then automation possibilities will increase at an astonishing pace most are unprepared for and there will be ofc increasing civil unrest .... mark my words. As for 18s being conscripted, yup its be both sexes and Labour will do the same in the near future because they will have no choice but to as things unravel for the vast majority and their prospects..

Even volunteers or Teachers need a specific work permit ... wouldnt want to be him with all that attention.

If AI takes over most jobs what will the young and those who have never worked do ? the risk ofc will be disruption out of boredom and no future which will inevitably lead to unrest.. what to do ? get them compliant and used to following orders young. UK gov desperately needs to reduce benefit support costs and the military bolstered... it will probably be prioritised for those not continuing to higher education, your expected to serve the system that feeds you. At the moment thats predominantly young men both indigenous and immigrant alike, perfect cannon fodder or free state labour so to speak. Also a good way to get new immigrants to be useful.. Want your benefits ? enroll in helping serve your new country, getting Citizenship requires it etc etc..not hard to change the requirements. Someones got to go die in a war or look after the huge rapidly aging demographic & you can bet its not gonna be the elites kids. Afterall, if the gov considers much of the population useless eaters now, i cant imagine they want a majority jobless population to take care of. ie send them to the front.. these lunatics in power want their war make no mistake.

Some things never get old in Thailand
