False news - there are not many Thais would turn down a bribe of one million baht; there are NO politicians who would turn down a thirty million bribe.

Unless they were offered more from elsewhere eh?

If this news is true , and proof is unlikely to be forthcoming , then it seems pretty probable that Phua Thai politicians have also been approached.

 

Which makes their silence a bit strange.

Sorry sir, those items are for display purposes only, they have already been sold and paid for.

Those who didn't report getting an offer probably accepted it. I wonder if the Junta can check if bought votes actually went to the right candidate, they can't really go public and claim a corrupted man is unreliable.

I was told a couple of months ago by an educated young Thai (totally opposed to the junta) that his friend's father - a Pheua Thai politician - was offered 100 million baht by the party of the Perfect One.

He accepted it - and now works for them.

 

I believe that the Future Forward politicians are a new breed of idealists and would not sell their soul like this.

 

At least, I hope not!

 

We will soon learn which politicians took the bribe and betray his supporters and party. The voting for PM will be a open verbal process according to Reuters. 

 

As it stand today, the pro democracy bloc has 246 while the pro junta has 203 including the Dem. BJT with 51 has not make any decision. The chance for Thanathorn to win will be for some senators to vote with their conscience against Prayut and BJT to support Thanathorn. Snowflake in hell or possibility of an upset? Turn in next episode of the "Race to the Trough".

Do you believe all slurs offered to you by admittedly totally biased people, Thai or not?  If a name was offered why not put it out, at least it would show a change of sides, not that it would prove it was done by bribery.

 

A new breed of politicians is very similar to a new breed of sewer rats. Try not to let wishful thinking over-ride past experience.

These are interesting claims and, if there is such a thing as a group of Thai politicians who put loyalty to their party/electorate before money, there is hope for the country yet.  On the other hand, if there have been so many such offers, why is no proof offered?

C'mon! - we're talking bribes here! - what fool is going the leave a track-record of evidence?

 

I don't think you would make a smart crook if you think there is going to be proof lying around.

Have you ever heard of recordings? Although very dangerous for those making and distributing it, a single recording would give a lot more credibility to the claim. I am sure that the average Thai recognizes that some bribery would have taken place, but some of the numbers here are rather hard to believe.
