The usual obvious comment made since decades by any autocratic government in the world..... Is it those naughty Russians again? Up to all sorts at the moment according to some. Or perhaps the CIA? Or the "old enemy" trying to divert foreign attention from their Rohingya genocide? Or just something trotted out as politically fashionable?

Why go after them if they are weak and incompetent? Surely the junta with 60 million Thais behind them as you claim are not afraid of a few protestors?

The military will still control the country. For all the "knowledgeable" discussion of the junta, the elections and of thai politics in general, everyone seems to pointedly ignore this single, overarching reality. The junta have secured power for the military ad infinitum. Oddly the junta itself seem to have forgotten they jury-rigged the constitution on their own behalf - unless of course they are buying time to rig the elections by slowly removing all opposition before they are called thereby "earning" the right to call themselves an elected government. Either way they are good really. They have all the guns. Edited January 30, 2018 by HooHaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The junta doesn't like Pheua Thai, or rather doesn't like Thaksin and his family. I can't stand Thaksin either but his party won over 12 million votes in the last election , leaving the Democrats trailing on just under 9 million. There is absolutely no reason to suppose Pheua Thai will get less votes in the next election, in fact they will probably get more. What are you gonna say when the majority of your peaceful 60 million Thais able to vote choose a party opposed to the coup 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The default coup position eliminate opposition supress media introduce more and more crazy laws line your pockets alienate at least 51% of the population pat yourself and your cronies on the back and tell everyone how bad things would be with an elected government its a tried and tested worldwide .

chama Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Another move sure to increase the junta's popularity. Can't led protest togo on or they will gain strength, can't shut them down or it will rally the anti-junta forces. Hmm...maybe they should start taking the Thai peoples priorities into account and acting on them to improve the Thai peoples lives...and their popularity.

The military Junta who came to power in a coup are charging people who are asking for an election with sedition? This does not auger well for the promised return to democracy. Pretty much. The military are hedging their bets, getting the best possible timing for Chinese new year time when a decent new government can hopefully not screw things up. If they do, Junta are back in business again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not forgotten. Unfortunately, unless people make a lot of noise, Thailand will never have a truly democratic government. It is also true that a lot of people just do not care and prefer to just live their lives as normally as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
