webfact Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Tanasak urges ‘calm’ as NCPO considers lifting political ban By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Thailand Tanasak Patimapragorn. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Thailand Tanasak Patimapragorn on Monday urged political parties to keep calm and wait for the ban on political gatherings to be lifted, adding that the National Council for Peace and Order was considering the issue. The deputy prime minister said parties should bide their time as the easing of the ban was imminent, given that the NCPO had been discussing the issue. If the ban were lifted now, it might disadvantage several parties as only a few were ready to commence political activities, he said.

DNPBC0 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Catch 22. Since preparing to commence political activities is itself a political activity and political activities are banned, it's hard to see how any political party can ever be ready.

To this day, the mention of this makes me cringe. Gravy train would be a more fitting name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political parties just biding their time. They are calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
