correct yes, kept in the dark and fed bullXXX,but they dont realize it, i came here over 25yrs ago there was coruption but not on the scale it is now its every day

This is old news , it will never be made public

100%

If pita does not get his finger out and start fighting their is a real possibility, MF is not liked by very powerfull people who do not want to see MF in power

Would not forget him just yet, he is liked by very powerfull people who wish for him to stay, all this was planned a long time ago, The EC was appointed by the Junta and will always find something to question based on their "interpretation" of the rules. Moreover, they'll take their sweet time in doing so against an opposition candidate as every day after the election goes by, the sense of momentum of the winning, Pro-Democracy side wanes just a little. Finally, after they have done their best to blunt a sense of momentum, they'll refer the case to the NACC "out of an abundance of caution", delay delay caretaker goverment all ok, can see this going on for a long time building up evidence against MF. There are a lot of very powerfull people who do not like MF and who do not care about the Thai people or what they want.

Correct

long read, definitely worth a read, think there is a lot going on behind closed doors

just a troll ignore

yes very good read

100% correct, It is amazing that 1 man can stop the formation of a elected goverment, but the thai's will just do nothing, have no sympathy as they voted in this constitution.

utter rubish

correct no guts no glory

Totally agree, but like to see him Pita fight more rather that sit back

The thai people voted for this constitution, Power in Thailand isn't given, it is taken. If Pita and the Pro-Democracy side want to govern, they need to start fighting back, and quickly. Leaks about the EC members and their pre-election overseas trips and perks, point out the ridiculousness of involving the Senate, discreetly organize street demos, start making public statements about how stupid the process is, etc. Political power is an ephemeral thing as it is rarely measured, The vast majority of time, political power exists simply because people think you have it. Conversely, if people don't think you have it, you don't have it. If Pita wants to be PM, he needs to fight like hell now while he has the afterglow of a Democratic election. If he sits back and allows himself to be belittled, judged and insulted by his foes, his power will evaporate before he even uses it. Politics 101 is define your opponent before he can define himself. All that is happing at the moment he is sitting back.

MF Won the Election,Now they have the right to form a Goverment any which way they can, I think you will find in Democracy the winner of an election forms a goverment, but here that is not the case one man can stop the formation of an elected goverment, this is NOT democracy, unfortunately Thailand will never have a democracy it will allway be run by the elite/military. Also find it strange that you think the winning Party of an election irrelevant strange !!!!!

did not ask who won a majority, who won the election.

think you need to read the news a lot more being nominated in the us election, but this is going off topic and against forum rules

Did not say the west is going to lecture Thailand,but yes the west is laughting at how gullable the Thai people are,

And who won the Election

And all this will take time, Pita is playing into Payut hands, Delay,Delay,Delay

military Thailand is NOT a Democracy, it is ruled by the Elite/Military, People around the world are watching and laughing, so Thailand does not need to worry about credibility, it has none, remeber the Thai people voted for this constitution.

The process is clear as day. "Concerns" will be raised. Bull<deleted> rules and regulations will be cited. "Doubts" will be cast. "Questions" will be asked. In August , approximately four months after the election, when the momentum from the election has worn off and the leading candidate or candidates from the opposition side have been tarnished in the name of "making sure everything is correct", then they will decide if they want the tarnished candidate or they decide that "more investigations" are needed to "ensure fairness" and muddy it up further. This is all by design and was planned a few years ago. Power in Thailand isn't given, it is taken. If Pita and the Pro-Democracy side want to govern, they need to start fighting back, and quickly.

Politics 101 is define your opponent before he can define himself. This was always going to occur; that was decided when the Junta wrote the current constitution. The question is simple; is the Pro-Democracy side going to fight? I dont think anything will happen, it will drag on and on , excuse after excuse, the caretaker govement will do anything to stay in power, Thai's need to rise up no need for violence, general strike, show the caretaker goverment they cannot do anything with out the people.

can you not tell by the look on her face

Thai election laws, like virtually all Thai laws, always have some vagueness so that they can be "interpreted" (anyone ever visit Thai immigration?). The EC was appointed by the Junta and will always find something to question based on their "interpretation" of the rules. Moreover, they'll take their sweet time in doing so against an opposition candidate as every day after the election goes by, the sense of momentum of the winning, Pro-Democracy side wanes just a little.
