webfact Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 PM to meet political parties this month By Thai PBS Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he planned to meet with political parties some time this month after the Constitutional Court on Monday ruled that the amendments of Sections 140 and 141 of the Political Party Act by Order No.53/2560 issued on Dec 22 last year by Prime Minister Prayut Chano-cha in his capacity as chairman of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) did not violate the 2017 constitution. “I will not raise any conditions. Whoever wants to come, come. I will not ask any party to join. As for parties which do not want to come, the people will decide for themselves why. “As for a proposal by some parties for the meeting to be televised live, I would take it for consideration. I want to look into honesty of individual parties,” Gen Prayut said.

Popular Post Cadbury Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 The Junta Party sizing up the other Parties. There is sure to be a bit of finger wagging by the PM, mixed in with a few threats and reminders of "who's the sheriff of this town". 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to look into honesty of individual parties Ah, so people can decide for themselves why any parties might choose not to attend, yet he says he will only consider having it televised because he wants to make sure everyone attending is honest.... So people are allowed to judge parties based on whether they attend of not, but they're not allowed to judge parties on whether they're being honest. That's up for the PM to decide. Can't wait for this free and fair election. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucec64 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The last time Prayut invited the parties he locked them up and forcefully deposed the legally elected government. I can understand the parties' hesitation to join...Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
