BANGKOK, 7th February 2018 (NNT)-Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha says the date of a general election will be determined after draft organic laws on the election of MPs and the Senate selection have been enforced. 

In response to calls for an election date, Gen Prayut reiterated it could be set only after the enforcement of both draft organic laws which are still being vetted. He also denied having met local politicians to discuss political matters. 

Regarding the Thai Niyom Yangyuen committee’s recent regional visit, Gen Prayut said it was aimed at coordinating efforts by all sectors to improve social equality and raise the standard of living for Thais nationwide.

NLA: no obstacles so far over last two organic laws

Statement by NLA President Pornpetch back in November and suddenly this 2 laws have been stalemated. What a coincidence. 

 

The first reading was in November and normally the NLA deliberates a bill in 3 readings. 

This just not normal and sure the junta intention to prolong their stay is the big reason. Prayut could have ordered the NLA to complete the readings in a specific period IF HE WANTED. He has so much power but misusing it.

Good for all concerned.  This government has done alot to help farmers and the poor. It has implemented several programs which will benefit poor rural villagers.

Thailand is not ready for elections. Many countries fail when democracy is forced upon them due to too many political fractures wanting power.

When someone is in control and the country is ticking over then that's what makes Thailand unique.

[jerojero]

Again with the bullshiiiiit organic laws. Delays excuses one after another. Sheesh!

I agree this government has done a lot to benefit some - unfortunately not the farmers and the poor...

Someone is in control and definitely "ticking" over...

[realenglish1]

Yes a date has been leaked It is widely believed that an election date of  December   2028  is being bantered about 

[spidermike007]

The organic law basically means give us a chance to collect another $5 billion dollars. Then we will move on. This creep does not want to surrender his very, very lucrative franchise. It is all about money and power. Nothing else. The well being of the Thai people never, ever come into the picture.

No, it is not more unique than Taiwan, South Korea, Japan or Malaysia.  It is much less developed and far behind and the constant coups, like this one, are the reason for it.   The current men in uniform are getting sloppy and lazy doing a worse job than before they usurped power.  Change is needed.

Most ignore him already, or have him blcoked.

I highly recommend everyone here does the same as he is just trolling without giving any content.

 

The use of the pictures in every post is a clear sign of trolling.

Reminds me of Interpol and Red Bull boss. Questions such as have you applied for a blue alert or red alert or an alert to Interpol at all. Response, " excuseee ( In an Italian accent). No speak English". Ask Prawit that question and he will give you the time to respond as he has lots of watches! Borrowed of course!

   Makes perfect sense when reading it backwards.  Must be a great decision. Aeeh, what's organic laws?

As the Senate members is selected by committees appointed by Prayut, he controls the timing of selection "enforcement." Just another potential excuse to further delay MP elections.

[Ricardo]

No more excuses  ...  no more delays  ...  just keep your word and schedule the promised-elections.

 

It's not rocket-science.

Even though I have added (among others), "Steven100" to my ignore list, and have ticked all the boxes, posts, messages, etc, I can still read his drivel.
Is there any way to block him completely ?
