If what you say was true, I would have thought that they had sorted out the corruption in the 8 decades they are ruling already. Or could it be that they are actually the reason for the corruption?

Lordy, it got worse and the military can't be investigated nor comment. Those who dare got dragged off the streets, ordered to military camp, arrested before they made it to the park and some die in custody. Anyone investigating the massive military hardware purchases? Don't think so. Take off your green shade mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffe123 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 What a joke, elections, why bother, Prayuth has already picked/appointed 250 senators, so who it there to vote for? all seats have already been filled to assure that the status quo will be kept, and the man in charge will be dictating what gets passe and not passed.

He used to dangle the carrot not too close but not too far - now talking of 2019 (which might only be 15 months away but 'feels' like two years) could start to stir the pot a bit too much. When was the last time a Junta was in power for 5 years? Exactly. He doesn't seem to realise that Thai people have just about reached their limit or if he does he couldn't give pigs arse. Thailand, Cambodia, Myamar, all heading the same way, complete despotic rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Time Thai Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 This will coincide with Trumps second term run. Making future elections shoulder to shoulder with other western electoral processes. When there is movement in the background it can be difficult to focus on what is happening in the foreground. This could be a serious statement by the General, placing Thailand in sync with at least election processes practiced in western societies. It's an interesting timeframe he has chosen, given he has just visited the USA. It could also be a way to keep the shell game going while there will be much focus on Trumps second term bid. Again, very interesting timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think this latest 'assurance' is any more believable and would you like to buy a space shuttle?

Never going to happen but unlike some here I think elections WILL happen but they will have no relation to what we normally call 'democracy' and I predict they will come up with many tag lines 'Thai style democracy' etc. but the result will be the same keeping the country in the dark ages and Thais, is has to be said, don't show any stomach to change it as they have in many other places so 'som nam na' as the rich get richer.

Ossy Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 6 hours ago, webfact said: During an hour-long talk, Prayut was asked whether he would compete in the next general election. He replied that he would have to seek party members first. No change, apart from those hands, groping Mrs P . . . and right next to hubby, too. Even his answer to the straightforward Q, 'whether he would compete in the next general election', gets the sort of answer we've come to expect from him. Does he know that 'seek' means 'search for' and, if so, just where are those 'party members' hiding? The man is an utter clown, whether opening his mouth, clearing the August floods from Isan streets or driving an iron buffalo, a safe distance away from BKK. I can't believe he was much better with a gun in his hands . . . what a terrifying thought! Could be my forecast of an early election, feeding off 'good' US trip vibes, is doomed, after all this 'organic law drafting'. Nine months to draft 10 laws . . . how many brains are involved in this assembly of assorted gobbligook? 2018, 2019, 2020 . . . what the hell? I'm just going to sit back and watch it all happen, hoping that my laughter doesn't disturb the neighbours. I'm cutting down my visits to t-v, too, it's getting so slow.

Eric Loh Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 2019 is a long time to wait to see the back of this junta regime. Fractions are forming in the military and there are the extreme left reds that can be very worrying. Big risk and hope he got the smart and humility to hand over his premiership to a civilian and form a coalition government like Prem did. He may prevented a civil war but ultimately may be the cause of igniting a real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'GENUINE' . . . you gotta be joking, the 'upstairs bunch' having already been issued with yellow shirts and guns; yes, all 250 of 'em. Constitutional constipation, if you ask me, and the sooner they pay a visit - a big one - the better . . . the term 'a royal flush' comes to mind.
