And considering first and third are united it makes it more clear. Blind Freddy can see Prayut won this election. I also like how Peu Thai were not allowed any of the “special allocation” because they had too many won seats. But the Junta gave themselves 18 The clear winner is PTP, contested in only 250 constituencies due to the sister party being "banned" on dubious circumstances, grabbing 137 seats out of 250. And magically, the votes in 100 something constituencies they did not win are not enough for just one single party list seat. Everyone can see what is going on here, Thailand is being stolen once again, now not with guns but with a sham of an election, heavily tilted towards the Junta. but.. they are not there yet ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that did vote for the party wanted the party to take an independent position, an independent opposition party, opposed to the junta. if the party is to become relevant to the young it must realize the extent of Thai youth's opposition to the junta, as seen by FF's success. if the Democrats refuse to join PPRP then the chances of the junts'a ex ministers forming a government are very slim indeed.

Yes, it is a very good point. However: 1] those who call the shots in The Democrat Party will not be able to resist the opportunity of a seat in government, 2) even if The Democrat Party does follow his suggestion, it will only lead to another round of "counting" and the Junta emerging as winners...

I have gone on record several times that the script involves Prayuth becoming PM.For clarity it "involves" thus being a likely detail rather than an absolute requirement.If it looks to the shadowy powers that Prayuth will be a liability rather than an asset, he will be ruthlessly discarded.It's also true that Prayuth is looking somewhat shop soiled so a blindly loyal functionary like Amporn might well fill the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
