Military ‘has nothing to do with politics’: Prawit

By The Nation

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan

 

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Wednesday that the idea of major parties joining forces against the military would “not have anything to do with the military”, and it would continue working as usual.


The military, he added, has not made any political act, so it could not be the parties’ competitor in politics. 

 

Prawit was referring to suggestions that the military might run candidates of its own in the upcoming national election. 

 

Meanwhile, another deputy PM, Wissanu Krea-ngam, said amendments to laws needed for the expected local-administration elections would be submitted to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) by early next year. 

 

He said he could not confirm at this point whether those elections could be held before the national election because he did not know how long it would take for the NLA to discuss the laws.

 

There are six related laws to be deliberated.

 

However, he said the local elections should not be held at the same time as the national election, or problems could arise.

So the last 3 years have been a dream? 
The toad has demonstrated his limited grasp of the real world. (Again)

Military ‘has nothing to do with politics’: Prawit

.........and the nation collectively sighed.....if only!

He may be confusing  "doesn't" with "shouldn't".

I wonder if he just opens his gob to see what will come out of it next?

Oh God, another barrow load of BS from Mr Piggy. I bet 3 people in Thailand believe him, including his Mum and Prayuth.

 

Tosser.

It was his mum and Prayuth that told him to say that.

I personally think he's at best, unhinged, and at worse, quite insane.

I'll bet my bottom dollar he thinks the opposite

Unless the government is under military control....

I suspect that he is so accustomed to lying cheating and being grovelled to as the chief power-broker in the military clique he heads up, that he assumes that what ever he says is true.

 

The emperor has no clothes?

Attacking the Shinawatras rightly or wrongly has political implications.  So no they are not apolitical.   Plus they pass laws in their rubber stamp, appointed parliament.  That would be political.  Maybe from his autocratic view on the world, it was seem apolitical. 

The excitement machine has bluerted out another load of cobblers, Ha Ha Ha................................:cheesy:

Was something lost in translation?  The military basically banned political parties, and group meetings.   I guess from their point of view that has nothing to do with politics

Military ‘has nothing to do with politics’: Prawit

My first thought was <deleted>?

But now I wonder if this is a "lost in translation" thing and means the complete opposite? As in "has nothing but means everything"?  :crazy:

So, the Junta is not doing any politics?
Good to know ......

Then why don't you stay out of it? Is this guy for real?

?

I’m reminded of the phrase “Just because you don’t have an interest in politics does not mean that politics does not have an interest in you”.

and i thought thailand did not have comedians

Has Prawit missed his true vocation, or is there still time to step onto the stage, I wonder?

"The military has nothing to do with politics"...what a retarded thing to say.

And Corruption has nothing to do with politics as well!!!

Good that someone with power was determined to stop the never ending greedy politicians!!!

Yes . . . the Wells Fargo one, hopefully, that rode into the sunset and was never seen again.
