Pheu Thai caretaker leader Viroj Pao-in was reappointed to his role Sunday.

 

BANGKOK — There was a pragmatic reason the caretaker leader of what has been Thailand’s largest political force was given that job again Sunday, despite his lack of a political base or public renown.

The rabble in red always seems to be more than one step ahead of the honorable, saintly, sanitized, do no wrong, undebatable, incorruptible, ever so popular, non rapping, brave boys in green.

Leader of a party isn't necessarily going to be the party's candidate for offices.

So what's the issue?

What is important is that the party have an experienced organizer and campaign manager.

You don't want a party leader to overshadow the party's candidates.

Viroj seems to be a perfect fit for the job.

Ok, I'll give ya that.

Reasonable.

 

Yet, they might be tempted to show their true colours by playing the game of a Good Old Boys network. 

Forced into such activity for survival sake. 

 

So much for the party of the people...

That can be found elsewhere these days......
