Bhumjaithai party leader Anutin Charnvirakul maintains that his party will not relinquish the ministerial portfolios for transport, public health or tourism and sports to the Palang Pracharat party.

 

In a Facebook post on Saturday night, he wrote “Ministries are meant for people to get to work, not for being traded. Period.”

 

In the next post, he wrote:  “Transport, Public Health and Tourism are not changeable.”

And the wheels come off before the train's even left the station.

[otherstuff1957]

This 'weak and unstable' coalition that they have put together may fall apart faster than anyone anticipated.

The smaller parties just joined to get their snouts in the trough.  Either PPRP will have to give away a big chunk of their power, or they will have to give up the illusion of democracy and rule through the Senate.

"Stoner Party Stonewalls Stone-Faced Stone-Age Party"

 

I will continue to watch with great schadenfreude as this coalition of the  traitorous, short-sighted, greedy, idiotic, power-hungry, and morally-deficient shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly....due precisely to the qualities just mentioned.

 

Som nam na, b*tches.  This is just the beginning of your problems.

Looks like he hasn't had his 'attitude adjustment' stay and ongoing medicine yet.

Yes, isn't it wonderful?!

It's a delight to see crooks and criminals falling out and turning on one another.

There will be a lot more of this in the coming months - and then the whole pathetic, precariously stacked house of cards will come crashing down.

This year is going to be a lively one. 

Let us hope that true democrats (Thanathorn & Co.) can keep the flame of liberty and democracy a burning presence (something to aspire to) throughout the land.

But he cannot do it alone. He needs mass support from the Thai people.

I'll send you a postcard from attitude adjustment camp.  I hear they have horseback riding and arts and crafts!

[smedly]

they are now openly publicly fighting over which trough they want to fill their greedy pockets from - hilarious if it wasn't so serious

Pheua Thai are far from exemplars of virtue and full, untarnished democracy.

But compared to military d   (a word we still cannot utter), they are infinitely to be preferred - and can be booted out by the people (if the people so choose).

THAT is what counts!

Very comforting if your a tourist on a bus on the way to a football match that has a heart attack I would have thought ????

Coup no.2X at preliminary consideration stage, at this stage.

Good point, though I foresee a dirtier democracy in the future--and more remnants of the good ol' boy networks in government--unless FF can peel votes away from PT in the coming years.

 

They're not the obvious danger at this point, but the more subtle, insidious one.

I take your point, Ramr - but compared to what the Thai people (and us)  have suffered and endured over the past 5 years, a Pheua Thai-dominated parliament (if that were to happen) is like welcome water to a parched man in the desert!

Actually Mrs baboon is currently washing the car...

Edit: And you don't want to hear her sing. Sounds like a seagull fighting over a discarded french fry...

Father Fin - I think being given the Ministry of Tourism... the holly grail of all Ministries imo when you consider a) the % GDP that it provides and the b) the amount of leverage it gives you c) the opportunity for overseas travel for friends and family...I do not blame BJT for not giving it back. Palang Pracharat - you made your bed now lay in it. 

 

Of more interest I would imagine will be the response of Palang Pracharat, which will be watched with interest by the Dems, If PPPR go in too hard BJT might just up sticks, and with it the coalition. Too soft and the Dems know they just have to dig their heels in and the Agriculture Ministry is theirs. 

 

I just wonder how big the envelope will need to be to satisfy all parties...I am think a box might have to be used, or a container lorry?

Let's look for balance rather the rush to the other aspect of undesirable possibilities.

How about you stop yourself and then ask yourself a few simple questions regarding Pheu Thai

 

Have they ever not respected the results of an election?

(they've even accepted the clearly stolen results of the last election)

 

Have they ever re-written a constitution to make it less democratic?

 

Have they ever boycotted an election?

 

Have they ever supported making the Senate appointed instead of elected?

 

Whilst in power, have they ever disbanded an opposition party?

 

Have they ever been found to have cheated in an election by independent international observers?

 

Have they ever banned independent international observers from observing elections?

 

Have they ever altered the seat calculation process AFTER and election?

 

Without democracy, Pheu Thai are nothing, so yes they are democratic.

I think the train is still on the assembly line because they are having trouble finding out what wheel goes where!

[holy cow cm]

This is going to get real interesting real fast when ole fat head takes the helm when the new government officially comes out into the arena next week. Ole fat head said he will do the telling, so goes to think he will tell whom who will have what. Bhumjaithai, Dems and Mitr are all going to feel their rear ends hurt from a small object being inserted by the PM.

Wheels or no wheels I  wanna see them drag this dreary train up the tracks at least a bit even if only to be entertained by the sparks that fly !
