Oh, so you weren't up against the army then? You know, a large army with live ammunition? Let's see now... poll tax, an unpopular government edict versus dictatorial army rule. So fundamentally bugger all like the risks that you are accusing the Thai people of shirking. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This begins to look like the Russian way of conducting elections, the time leading up to and the time before results are verified, we will see soon how closely they mirror them, Thailand will get the form of democracy it deserves but it does not do itself any good when the incumbent administration starts fling charges against political opponents, sometimes for the good of the country its best to turn the other cheek for the good of the country.

TonyR101 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 If petty criminal charges like this were applied across the board rather than selectively against junta opposition, Thailand would struggle to find anyone qualified to sit in Parliament. It just goes to prove that in there was never any intent to allow democracy to flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get what they "deserve" or what they are indoctrinated through schooling and the media to believe is correct, free thinking is not encouraged! ????

Were the army outside the Pathumwan Police Station or was it the Police? It was the Police in the UK and it was the Police at Pathumwan. Very big difference between police and army here in Thailand. Police will do nothing here...far less than would in the UK actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjaak327 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Government is currently in caretaker mode. They dont have the powerNot quite, the current government is still very much in power and with continued use of article 44 as they see fit. Their power was never based on parliament...
