Democrat MP warns Palang Pracharat to keep its promise… or else

 

 

Democrat MP for Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thepthai Senpong, advised the Palang Pracharat party on Sunday to honor the promise it made to the Democrat party over two key ministries.

 

He said that the party would review its decision to join the Palang Pracharat-led coalition if the party is asked to relinquish the commerce and agriculture portfolios, which they were earlier promised.

 

“If the Palang Pracharat party thinks that it does not have to care about its coalition partners, after it has got its prime minister, I would say that it won’t be easy and, if we believe that you had no intention to keep your promise from the beginning, there is no guarantee that there won’t be more broken promises,” said Thepthai.

Why should they? You can't expect people to play by the rules and honour agreements when you don't.

The only promise that will be honoured is making life for farangs much more difficult, as for who gets what ministry is sealed bids time ka-ching????

Last week, there was an interesting article in the BP about the feasibility of a minority government. Any threats by the Dems are pretty empty and if it all leads to a new election, they'll be finished anyway but in their arrogance they can't see it.

Right. They already put their pants down. It's too late now.

Or else what. Your party is no better in keeping promises. The party have abandon political correctness and will bend backwards to the overlord. Just too many of Suthep's PDRC people in the party.

Surely they jest! A "promise" made by the nominated leader of the Palang Pracharat Party who goes under the moniker "Pinocchio".

The naivety of the Democrats is proportionate to their greed, hypocrisy and deception.

That article was completely unrealistic.

 

This Dem guy has a good point, if the junta mob don't honour their promises to the dems re portfolios then other coalition members will trust the junta less and less. Plus if the dems just accept it then their credibility (already very very shaky) goes down even further.

 

And as he mentioned other small coalition parties might well withdraw.

 

As said many times already, more and more reasons why a small spark will make all of this completely unravel and it seems to me that will be sooner rather than later.

then that's precisely correct, because, let's face it, whatchagonnado?

go full on democratic on them? ha!

[yellowboat]

One crook threatens other crooks.  We were all hoping for a 1932 moment, but instead we got what we expected, this ridiculous fight over power by people who have no love for representative government at all.  

[sjaak327]

What about the promise your party made to it's voters? How can a party that is named democrats vote for someone that pissed on democracy and the complete Thai electorate.

Pot calling the kettle black. Democrats my ass

Anyone trusting the junta is utterly stupid. It is not like they have a record of being trusthworthy, people staging coups and holding the country at ransom for five years, seldom are.

 

 

No sane democrat would have ever joined this coalition, period.

Especially if, as the original article states, the 10 lesser known parties decide at their meeting to pull out of the alliance with PPRP. They're all learning that the devil wears green

Those parties are probably controlled by the NCPO. That's why they were all given a seat. 

[holy cow cm]

I really wish that Praytuth pulls the plugs on the Dems and Bhumjaithai. 

[TKDfella]

I find it more difficult not to repeat myself each time something like this happens. Many here have been saying the similar things during the junta rule and now after the (pseudo) election...nothing has really changed.

What's with the 'or else' part? If the the dems don't get what they were 'promised' there'll be mass protests on the streets (though completely different, I know, the recent Hong Kong million plus protest about new rules, comes to mind). Not going to happen. Or perhaps the dems will oppose everything the 'government' initiates? That won't matter one hoot since the generals are still there at the hub and they'll do just what they want.

And deservedly so. They screwed their voters and now they are being treated likewise.

 

Justice I assume.

[BuckBee]

Amazing how they all keen get in on the higher expenditure ministries as got more cream to be skimmed and bigger brown envelopes handle ...

[the guest]

Is that the concrete mixer I hear?

[pornprong]

What a bunch of pissweak cowards.

You take out cabinet seats, we leave the coalition.

When I first arrived here and was involved in teaching at what is supposed to be an elite Thai university, I was shocked at the pervasive lying I encountered. Students lied. Faculty lied. Administrators lied. And nobody cared, even if they were caught. Lying was perfectly permissible if it got you what you wanted. There was absolutely no sense of personal honor or shame. Does this lesson apply to other institutions in this country? Who knows?

[mmushr00m]

Or else what?

Heck I would call their bluff. 

Give them ministries where they have to actually to work and with very limited capacity to profit from ????
