Abhisit rules out joining pro-military party in forming government if it continues with current economic policies

 

 

Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has ruled out the prospect of his party joining the pro-military Palang Pracharat party if it insists on pursuing the current government’s economic policies that he claimed are causing hardships to the people.

 

He also dismissed as groundless press reports that Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan had lobbied the party to support Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha as the next prime minister in exchange for key portfolios in the next government.

 

He said since Palang Pracharat has claimed that it would win up to 350 seats in the House of Representatives  which should be enough to form the post-election government, there would be no need for it to court the Democrat party.

Unless they rig the elections, there is no way the pro junta party will get 350 seats. If they count the votes honestly, they might be good for 50 seats. Most of those seats will be won from people that would normally vote for the democrats...

Comes down to money not right and wrong.   Why am I not shocked?

I guess the PPRP must be truly pissed-off at that news.

This man - this 'democrat' - is truly pathetic. Notice that he seems only concerned with the junta's economic policies - not with their CIVIL AND POLITICAL LIBERTIES record and stance; secondly, the best Abhisit can muster is to say that it is 'very unlikely' that the Democratic party would side with the junta party. What?! A true 'democrat' should  firmly and without hesitation state: 'NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!'

 

But pathetic little spoilt privileged, podgy kid Abhisit ("I was educated at Eton and Oxford, don't you know?') - always working for his super-wealthy masters - cares not a whit about democracy, equity or liberty. In fact, it is partly because of Abhist's refusal to support Yingluck's legitimate call for an election that we are in the autocratic mess that we are in today and have been in for approaching 5 years!

Why some Thais need so many seats, they normally happy to sit on a mat!?

"Unless"? You mean there is a question?
