And thanks big brother Thaksin for inflicting her upon the nation as at the very least an incompetent prime minister.

It was not really Thaksin of course, but the 15 million votes his party received. Fast forward to now, we have an incompetent prime minister who got there with no votes received, except for those of the NLA, which he himself appointed. And no sign of him leaving either.

 

The situation got quite a bit worse.

She was put up for the job by him after the electionary was won.   The votes were not for her.  They were for his 30 baht clinic visits plus a lot of paid footwork by village chiefs and other folk on his payrole that won the election.  The poor people of Thailand were still under his spell then.  He.could/should have been Prime Minister for life but he was too greedy and ambitious.  He was Thailand''s Lee Kuan Yu elect, literally,  but he blew it.  Where do we find a charismatic savvy guy like him without the ego problems that he couldn't control?  Perhaps, sadly that is a rhetorical question.

One doesn't find it under the current 'saviours' either. There are no easy answers or quick fix solutions, other than allowing politics run its course and letting the electorate decide in conjunction with a free media and a military only keeping the peace if need be.

Thaksin would in my opinion have been out by now, as his arrogance and complacency grew. I have no love for the man. But now let us look at the fallout and those who deposed him and his family. Let us not look at 2005 / 2010 but Thailand in 2018, gazing at its own navel and lashing out at any outsider who does not sufficiently understand the path to true democracy as enforced at gunpoint....

Not really, she was the number one on the party list. Yes she probably won by a landslide due to Thaksin's popularity. But Thaksin did not put her there, the Thai electorate did. The usual vote buying excuses I take for granted. His popularity is really without any doubt. I am still suprised at people living in this country and be oblivious of this little fact, and yes a fact it is. 

 

I actually believe, he will still win a general election, and only because the alternative has been show itself to be much much worse. He simply cannot loose, his enemies continue to make him relevant. They will simply never learn their lesson….

Well in the US it is a two man race, in Thailand it is a 30-40 man race. At least the electorate has a choice.

Oh gooddeee.  So we are probably guaranteed a non-clear result and a hodge podge coalition of some sort.  Let us see if that performs better than a Coup appointed General or most forms of dictatorship.  P.S If the USA had been a real 3 horse race maybe neither would have won.   As it is, America was bound to loose either way.   Neither of them are really fit presidential leadership material and the same may apply here in most cases.   Fingers crossed.  I want the best for the place.

So, who put her at  "number one on the party list?"  The party (in other words, big brother)  or the people of Thailand?  Where was her experience in politics? In fact where even was her experience in business except as a family appointed manager in a family business?  (er, Big brother again?)  She was an absentee manager, frequently on overseas shopping trips, who never even attended meetings of a board she was chair of.   And as for her behaviour when advised that people were rorting the rice scheme (designed by Big Brother)................   Look I know she is  rich and very attractive.  That doesn't make her an effective manager or P.M.  Or even tactful at flirting disgracefully with the POTUS.   Bimbo: See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com noun, plural bim. a foolish, stupid, or inept person. a man or fellow, often a disreputable or contemptible one. an attractive but stupid young woman, especially one with loose morals.

Yingluck a bimbo.

 

Well, I will say one thing: if forced to choose, I'd rather have this country run by a basically benign bimbo than a freedom-smashing, rights-denying monster!

Of course, the Thai people had the opportunity to make that choice snatched away from them. Something which "Deerhunter" is obviously quite relaxed about, after all, it may have produced a government and a bimbo, sorry, I meant Prime Minister, of which he did not approve, and what sort of democracy would that be?

Ah yes.  The brainwashed member speaks.  Please do not speculate on my preferences.  When all around me in my Thai family were rejoicing on the coup and the self appointment of the general, I was telling them "This is not democracy.  It is a mistake we will regret."   They now agree.

Whoever put her as number one in party list is/are brilliant. She lead the party to a landslide victory. I mean compare to Abhisit who was groomed to be a politician, has vast political experience and has no other job but still lost the election divisively. 

BTW, SC Assets is a public company and her management will be judged by the company performance. She must be managing well to remain as an executive and company make good revenue and profit. You just jealous that she made good as a female and you not.

Feel free to speculate all you like if it is that important to you.  Just don't expect me to agree with you when you speculate about me and are that far off the mark.  Freedom of speech is what allows me to correct you!  (Not intended as Irony.  The opposite of Wrinkly.)

The point I am trying to make here, is that big brother can put her on that party list all he wants, if no-one votes for the party, she would be nowhere. The Thai electorate made Yingluck PM and no-one else. And with a landslide election victory to boot. The Thai actually know whom they choose, and have done so consistently for almost two decades. 

 

As to experience in politics, I believe we have a very experienced PM now, and no member of the Thai electorate put him in that spot, other than himself. 

 

Must be nice if the PM du jour can say: "I can do whatever". Not accountable to anyone, absolutely no-one.

They voted for him and whoever he appointed as his proxy. At that point the electorate was still under his spell. By voting for the party they were still voting for him in their minds. You know that. Thailand has a huge majority of poor people who voted for the man who gave them 30 baht clinics etc. He was smarter than the Dems and their rich sponsors.  Very smart.  Too bad he was not smart enough to not be too greedy.  As for the Dems' sponsors and the PM du jour, they have proven that they don't need the Dems and all that time wasting stuff.  Accountable to no one?  Don't you believe it for a moment.  But we are waayyy off topic now.  Sorry.

'Interpol' is not in fact an 'office'. The media bang on in ignorance as if it's some kind of cop UN.

It's more like a communications protocol,  with legal guidelines for international cooperation. 

That's about it. 

There no 'man from Interpol' with a badge and a magnum. 555.
