snoop1130 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Commoner Party Seeks To Put The Poor In Parliament By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer A photo of Kittichai Ngamchaipisit on Monday in Bangkok. BANGKOK — Seeking an interview Kittichai Ngamchaipisit, electrician, university dropout and co-founder of the Commoner Party was a very low-profile affair. Unlike so-called high-profile progressive political movements, his has held no press conferences, the mass media has overlooked it and it doesn’t even have headquarters yet. But Kittichai’s party – which seeks to put the poor in parliament – is arguable one of the most serious and ambitious in term of ideology.

Popular Post lovelomsak Posted March 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2018 I wish him luck. I feel he has the right idea just has to get the votes. If he got elected he could become a major player as the voice for the poor. That is of course unless he got shot . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon789561 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 can't help thinking he made a mistake not merging with the FFP if that was in fact possibly on the cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elite and the generals run the show so shut up and go away. You are a troublemaker. Arrest him immediately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thailand needs a social-democrat-like party........but maybe with a little more charismatic leader....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutsMango Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Poor deserve support, but not being in power. Coming from poor family I'm absolutely convinced that if they can't improve own life, they definitely don't have the capability to decide about others. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swissie Posted March 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2018 Regardless of who is (and will be) in power, as long as the widely accepted Feudalistic Ground Structure remains entrenched and supported by the Elite all the way down to the Middle-Class, the poor will never have a say in political matters. Not long ago, next to lining his own pockets, there was a guy trying to empower the poor simultaineously. A brilliant concept but he had to be ousted, otherwise the Feudalistic Ground Structure would have shown some cracks, endangering the "structure" as a whole. Cheers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I hope he wins enough votes to put an end to Prayut's craze for elitist costumes, poems, karaoke sessions, and Friday night comedy shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be poor does not necessarily mean to be stupid in a society were the rich can afford to be. Just google Black Panther, and Luxury Watches. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously don't think "the guy" was actually trying to empower the poor do you? Really? He only ever wanted to empower himself.

tryasimight Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Just another wolf in sheep's clothing. Claim to speak for the poor but the agenda is really far left lgbt nonsense. Bit lihe most of the so-called Green parties where the actual ' green' part I. e. Caring for the environment is just a sideline to the main agenda and is used to hoodwink the urban based guilt trippers.

Eligius Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I would feel more confidence in this relatively humble guy than in a super-duper rich dude like Thanatorn. However, in today's slick political world, it may well need someone with Thanatorn's cash, connections and promotional experience to launch a viable new party to challenge the junta (although ultimately the junta will probably not allow any GENUINE challenge to their theft of national power). However, this chap Kittichai, who wants to get the poor into Parliament, immediately strikes a chord with me and I wish him well (although, as always in politics, one has to be cautious when one does not know what possible hidden agenda might be in operation; on the face of it, however, this humble guy seems genuine enough ...).

He only ever wanted to empower himself. Wrong. Of course he wanted to empower himself. But he also did this by empowering the people. The people were his power, hence they've won every legit election ever since. And from the people's perspective, for the first time ever their vote counted. And they had a voice. And that voice was listened to. That never happened before. Ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
