    Can't debate if all the opposition is locked up or banned from politics, so he's correct that there's no point !!! This is the only transparent thing about the Junta, but they don't seem to have an is

People speculate about how intelligent and articulate these candidates might be.  Let's have the debates to remove all doubt...

There's a FB post that Mrs NL shared with me and it shows the leaders of 3 of the parties speaking with the media in English about what they envisage the nation's future should be. Two of them are quite eloquent and the third one would still put Abhisit to shame when it comes to correct phrasing and English grammar.

if he had to defend his country or lead it into battle. It is reasonable now to assume he would lead his army from the rear.

 

You're being generous. More likely that he would abandon the country and not lead at all. The corrupt general, his gang of other corrupt generals, and the national treasury would be long gone before the battle was joined. A blood-sucking parasite will always leave when it can no longer feed.

He is incapable of debate for 2 reasons 

 

1. He is above all and should anyone disagree he either wants to punch them or abuse them

2. He is well aware or was explained , he would be torn to pieces and made look foolish as man does not possess the brain to counter anything nor does he possess any knowledge 

 

He stated it’s nothing but politics.  So safe to assume he does not even grasp the concept that being a PM is politics so is running the country.

His refusal to take part was of course predictable.

 

What I find frustrating is the complete silence of opposition politicians on the issue. Unless I have missed it the likes of Thanathorn, Abhisit, Sudarat, Korn etc have said nothing. This should be an opportunity to skewer Prayuth for his cowardice in refusing to take part. It all seems too deferential and insipid.

Jayboy, the leaders of opposition parties have spoken but in a guarded manner for obvious reasons. What is more important is what the voting public said in the social media and is full of foul, vulgar and derogatory words.

The PM has shut the door on himself entering public debate. The print and electronic media should now shut the door on any further publicity for the PM (including his bumptious weekly broadcasts) until after the election. Just in case it is deemed to be political which it almost certainly would be.

What you've said is something I can only dream would have happened already.

If only the Thai press would either stop attending his 'briefings', or walk out in unison as soon as he starts his usual berating of a journalist asking questions he doesn't like.

If only = a snowball's chance in hell.

Just my slant on debates.

Nice to see the unified nature of Thaivisa members on this thread.

 

Now, how do we morph this to the Thai population?

Yet another slap in the face for the junta supporters on here.

 

Thaksin, for all his faults was never shy of getting into a debate. He even went for interviews on CNN and BBC. 

I think you may find that many who were anti Thaksin have changed their minds after seeing junta in action for past 4 years 

When you analyze a military Junta , in rep-respect ,they don't bring anything into the equation, they have no experience in anything than military so what is the point.

They do not have experience in military either , just look at the state of Thai army .

 

Only experience they have is to wear uniform with lots of bling and boss someone around on domestic duties 

What's wrong with you? Just do one of your Friday TV acts and paralyze everyone with your numbing, droning, endless cacophony going on and on...

Here's your debate strategy: Since you have no substance, drown them in noise.

DISMISSING growing calls to join the prime ministerial debates, junta chief General Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday said firmly that he attached no importance to these calls for him to outline his vision, arguing the debate stage was more about politics than policy discussions.

He is basically saying the Thai people are not important enough to be informed of his policies or ideas before the election. Such arrogance.

Who was that? It would be hard to put Khun Abhisit to shame since his English is perfect, honed by Eton and Oxford.

Political debates are about discussing future policy through public debate for all voters to see.  So, really the public is being told that they are inconsequential as Big Daddy knows best and will not discuss his policy platform in front of the children.  Happiness to the people, especially those kept in the dark and fed pooie.  :dry:

If you mean by speaking out their parties could be banned, I understand that.But what an indictment- if one was needed - of the absurdity of this election.

Having said that there still seems to me a lack of courage among leading opponents of the Junta.Imagine the impact of a “J’accuse” type salvo from someone like Abhisit who has international credibility.

As a Thai man, I'm surprised he has thin skin.

Are you sure he's Thai ?  

He's definitely afraid he may get a little flustered in a debate and say things that may make him look like a fool... this in front of a televised live audience wouldn't go down too well at all.

Laughable but very sad...... A one horse race where the crowd is to be banned so as not to frighten the horse......... Only in La la Land......

Does anyone actually know the proposed policies of these numerous candidates? 

I very much doubt it.

Angka has spoken........ I'm getting that nasty feeling that this is going to be a re-run of Pol "Tin Pot".......  "Everyone leave the cities for the great farming project in the country" !
