Abhisit cracks joke with Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial candidate

 

 

Former Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva appears to be in jovial mood, after resigning as party leader and being free from the headaches of having to deal with internal conflict and the seemingly endless talks on government formation.

 

At the reunion party of the alumni of Chulalongkorn demonstration school’s classes 15-19 on Wednesday night, Abhisit was seen on stage holding the hand of Mr. Chadchart Sitthipan, Pheu Thai party’s prime ministerial candidate, and heard saying “Let’s go and form the government!”

 

Abhisit’s on-stage joke drew laughter from the hundreds of alumni at the party.

Image re-branding came way too late. Too much political baggage.

[Chris Lawrence]

So was he the joke?

[Proboscis]

That any of them have a sense of humour is the front page story

[RotBenz8888]

So? Politicians are comedians aren't they?

[Srikcir]

Abhisit is living a joke.

Man without credibility.

Man without a party.

Man without a nation.

But still wants to be onstage.

 

[connda]

I'm just guessing, but was his 'joke' something like this?

"How many coups does it take to create a democracy?
Psst - add your own punchline"  

Rotfl  ????

Good to see The Right Honourable Abhisit still smilling after his tedious tenor trying to protect Thailand from the white collor criminal element.

how stupid can a comment get...

[BestB]

It was not a joke but a very possible possibility . Deals are still being made 

 

PTP has been the smartest out of all, willing to give up anything and all to oust junta , rewrite constitution and in next election win all the votes.

 

others are being greedy and it may bite them in the backside sooner or later 

[bannork]

Amending the constitution is almost impossible under the present constitution. Not only must the government support it but also a percentage of the Opposition and The Senate. As if senators appointed by Prayuth are going to vote for amendments!

get used to Prayut (or a similar facsimile)  for probably the rest of your lives..

[otherstuff1957]

If you read the article, there is a second 'joke' that is much more revealing!

It's not funny; it's a Thai Tragedy.

About a cool 100% of all politicians all over the world are in politics for money, power or a combination of the two, and being on stage and in the limelight is their core business, making them alle living jokes.

I have always enjoyed seeing Mark, but I notice there are some who do not.

Red necks perhaps,  I guess he is not popular enuff to be leader anymore, but at least he 

is still in the public eye.
