Spectre C Link Sparks People’s Party Dissolution Calls

One point in Thai politics is...... kill the opposition by finding fake reasons to dissolve and ban parties and people..The winners however who bought their votes all over Thailand are being left alone.. Of course they are part and friends with army and elite and want to keep their wealth and influence and will never allow that others take power....It will end eventually as we have seen in history with a very angry population, who don't accept these things anymore..

Here we go again.

This is called fascism.

At some point, the public will rise up in a revolt.

If PP is dissolved that means no opposition in parliament? Or by elections? But PP members will likely be banned so they can’t contest the by elections either.

You could be excused for thinking the Spectre C affair seems like it is straight out of a James Bond script.

What would Ian Fleming make of this?

A shadowy company with a name that practically screams “villainous organization,” accused of running covert information operations to tilt the political playing field.

Swap Bangkok for MI6 headquarters and you’d have the makings of a 007 plotline.

The calls for the People’s Party’s dissolution add another layer of intrigue, as if the political stage has morphed into a high-stakes casino, where tuxedoed figures slide chips across the table while Spectre’s agents pull invisible strings from the shadows.

Yet, much like Bond villains who hatch elaborate schemes only to be foiled in the final act, it’s hard to imagine this case reaching the dramatic conclusion its petitioners hope for. One hopes the courts will demand solid evidence, and not just whispers of conspiracy.

Still, the imagery is irresistible, Spectre C lurking in the shadows, dossiers of IO campaigns, and political operatives playing cat-and-mouse.

Whether this ends in dissolution or simply fizzles out, the narrative already feels more Casino Royale than constitutional law.

Srisuwan Janya, leader of the Love Nation, Love Land group,

Golly, what a surprise to see this chap again, leading the charge against the People's Party!

Jolly looking fellow isn't he! I wonder if he actually lives in a wooden house, or dresses in "traditional garb"?

Yes but, buying votes is different, isn't it?

Nah! Just called Thai politics, designed to keep the riff-raff inline.

Buddhists are passive, they don't get angry, they disdain quotidian, mundane politics and keep their sights on higher things, they live and let live... I hope someday I am completely wrong.

Let’s get rid of any opposition!

Why would a former Move Forward MP, Tisana Choonhavan, call out this issue? Famous name, for those who remember, sour grapes at not running for People’s? There must be a backstory here.

And what exactly is an “information operation” anyway? Sounds sinister...

The funds deposited to Move Forward are clear. So how much did People’s Party get this cycle? The article says the “funding was suspended” on the flimsy excuse the new party had to update its bankbook!

Right wing Janya is up to his usual tricks. Lots of connivance going on here because the people who make money off govt don’t want change.

This is meant to destroy the political opposition to the ruling class.

The courts can dissolve the party and ban those involved in the alleged misdemeanor, but the party's MPs will have time to switch to another party.

Assuming there is another spare party, the same scenario will play out as before: Future Forward to Move Forward to the People's Party.

Another four years and the 10 year ban on the original founders of Future Forward, Thanathorn and Piyabutr, expires.

The Party is dead, long live the Party!

PP shoots itself in the foot again. Why can't they find a good lawyer to advise them on what they can do or not do under the law? They know their opponents will find every trick in the book but why fall for it every time?

If you are not sure what IO really means, and I am not, then Srisuwan has very kindly explained that it means "manipulating public opinion". Isn't that what advertising and political campaigns are actually supposed to do? It would seem that Srisuwan's complaint would require all of those billboards with candidates photos and numbers to be banned, since they are also intended to manipulate public opinion.

I don't think it is a problem of the People's Party, but there are powers in Thailand that never allow that the people will take over the power and therefor everything will be done to find fake reasons to ban and dissolve the party. I believe that Peoples Party did not fight the results of the election as they could be charged for something and dissolved, so it is wise to keep quiet. However in the land with a junta that claim to be a democracy, but in fact is a controlling state, as we notice everytime with all alcohol bans and even wearing clothes with no numbers on election day for example, it will be impossible to take the power, the only solution is what happened in France in 1789...

The more they do this do they not realize they are going to give the party credentials and backing. Consider that the People's Party basically, with its MP, controls all the major cities. They have all but eliminated the PT in CM. They swept BKK

The only reason that BJT got in was that they made a rookie mistake in giving Anutin power during the Thai Cam issue.

OK so PP leaves and the Free Us from a Corrupt Kountry Univerisally party is created.

It's always something with the elites and the powers that be here, they always come up with an excuse, they always figure out a reason to defy the will of the people and to suppress any sort of change, progress or forward movement. It's almost as if forward movement causes some sort of inertia that makes them dizzy or nauseous. If nothing else it certainly threatens their wealth and power.

Eventually the youth will prevail over the toxic dinosaurs, and let us hope that happens in our lifetimes.

The day will come, either by force or the polulation will one day wake up and sweep them into power at the ballot box. As the younger generation get educated and all the die-hard uneducated oldies pass-on, the hi-so parties who have screwed the country for ever, will be wipe out.

No, just business as usual. For actual fascism, see: America.

I call it "facetism" that spews black, sludgy, and trash-filled verbal pollution.
