There is a very, very, VERY big sad national event that will serve their ends just perfectly (when the time comes). Forget all politics, then, for a year ...

OOOH forgot about that

 

Get your black frocks out again !

5.5.2055? 5555!

 

If that's not a virtual middle finger, I don't know what is. Amazing how long Thais are willing to put up with this BS.

Not willing..... No choice.

No governmental system suits all, or is perfect, including democratic ones elected by the people. The last few years in Thailand has been the most stable during the last 20 that I've been here...why change anything just to re-instigate the same chaotic, immature Thai form of democracy again, only to be followed by another coup in a few years, just for the sake of democratic idealism? Thailand should give up on democracy, the culture is too juvenile to handle it. A benevolent dictatorship should work better in Thai culture for a couple of generations yet until the culture matures. Look no further than Singapore for a successful form of government and successful country...try that I say.

On the other hand, it is indicative of the junta's approach to freedom of speech, and desire to control every aspect of the political process.

You lend them too much credence.

 

They're just running scared (still).

Prayut nor past generals who governed are no Lee Kuan Yew. Stop self gratification and justifying the corrupt, ruthless and power crazy generals. Silly comparison.

Think quote is "are we there yet ? "......

Nope..

It's a salutation and response..

"How ya goin' mate?"

"Getting there, mate,getting there.."

"Onya,mate!"

 

There is no doubt that Messer's Prayut,Prawit and Wissanu would phrase it somewhat differently..?

Good luck to all sides and may the best team win but If PT win the next election I beg the military to please protect the airport from takeover. 

It is at the very heart of a military's task. To protect a country from invasive actions.

Well, if he does, I will benefit. UK pensions, all household appliances bought, new-ish vehicle.

 

Could be worse. Perhaps I ought to review my preferences.

The article says Wissanu said between Feb and May, probably in Feb so it appears the directive given to him was to start the process of moving the date by planting the May date in everybody's minds to see if there is any pushback. Of course he didn't say May of what year!

Unfortunately I am of the firm belief that an unfortunate event will occur between now and the predicted dates resulting in the indefinite postponement of the aforementioned elections.

 

And I believe that the junta is banking on this so that they can remain in power.

 

Mark my words.

A fiendish Baldrick style plan perhaps.

Yes - it is so, so obvious what lachrymose event they are going to use - and use (quite cynically and shamelessly) to buy themselves masses of more time, time that no one will dare question ...

The announcement that has been made claims the election will be held by May 5

Dates in Feb, Mar, and Apr are all before May 5 as are several other dates
