Time has come for a strong and collective people's revolution. A universal and most extended general strike might be in order......with broad attached guerrilla schemes. If that's what it takes - so be it. The traditional ruling establishment will not acquiesce to people's wishes, so the people will make the choices for them. Run the whole cabal out of town - severing ties permanently.

He'll be naming old Prayut as a special advisor. And so it goes.... Guess the dinosaurs aren't dying off.

Speculative fiction.

Same as it ever was. .....and no one seems to notice the whys and wherefores.

And most had their blinders on.

...which will never come about, of course. This clipping is just a surface gesture as is the policy that is drafted.

Expect the MFP to be forcibly disbanded before long. It's all working in their favour.

Irrelevant....as they really don't a term because they [largely] weren't elected.

The revered institution still has a subliminal pull on the population. It is what it is.

All of which promotes the clear contradictory. These duly appointed [not elected] members shouldn't be voting in any measure.......as they are illegally bound and non grata. the system is a farce and yet continues to pretend that it isn't.

If one can find a democracy anywhere. Been out of the fashion and practice for quite some time.

When these folks speak of a private sector, do they mean corporate sector?

Personally, don't think there would be much difference - regardless of government or invented political ideologies.

What might you mean by progressive?

Numerous archaic articles within the constitutional framework need to be revised or stripped permanently, if one really wants change - otherwise, all moot and rhetoric.

Certainly when the election process is/was a bogus event from the start.

indeed. As it's always been. I rather doubt very much that this might be the Old Guard's last gasp or any suggestions thereof. Just a momentary glitch or bump in the road. Any reasoned logic will surely expect them to regain their dominance, in one form or another, before too long. Tradition.......and as long as this embedded tradition is able to force it's will on society and the situations, it will always continue as it was. Most paradoxical is that these particular circles of promoting change and whatnot don't truly pursue any real actions or finite proposals to stem the ever present tide [sort to speak]. I'm finding this whole cycling and contradictory theatre for amusement sake. Articles and analyst such as the above are almost always way of the mark - in scope and reality. Almost innocent in it's very nature. Last gasp? I think not.

Yet, there are more situation than not that don't fit into this neat and expected stereotype [and myth]. Every situation and experience will be different from the next. Don't seem to be terribly observant after 30 years......or you don't get out much. Broad exposure and experience is everything.

Love. Of course. What is love?

Crack? Meth?

Better late than never. Appears that AOT, and other pertaining authorities, are finally seeing the light that Thailand requires 2-3 major int'l airports for our busy times. U-Tapao and Don Mueang are being processed to being upgraded to this standard. Remember what DM was like before Swampy was built? The only game in town and over extending itself to int'l/domestic traffic.

Details of this nature are usually swept under the rug from all memory.

The old romanticized version of Aed [the 60s/70s], not the contemporary establishment-based Aed. He sold out some time ago. A shame.

Hidden skeletons - everyone has 'em. Especially within the political and corporate world. Even among our presumed golden boy, Khun Pita. A deeper investigative research might prove enlightening [or not]. Guessing that he's not much different from others in these hallowed and revered circles. Mai phen rai - don't wanna spoil or usurp the ongoing bandwagon. Just let it go.

Yes, of course. Though, I find it much more interesting to note the obvious omitted/missing whenever such a distinguished list comes to our attention. The true [influential] top dog wealth and protected circle will always be conveniently left off of any comparatives of this nature. I wonder why? ????
