Thanathorn doubts PM and his government can lead Thailand into the future

 

 

Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit said Friday night that he did not believe that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, will be able to guide Thailand into the future because of the government’s abstract policy statement, which lacks vision and energy.

 

Thanathorn went to parliament late Friday night to offer moral support to his party’s MPs on the second day of the debate on the government’s policy statement. He is not allowed to take part in the debate because of the Constitutional Court’s order suspending him from performing the duty as an MP.

 

The fiery Future Forward party leader said he didn’t think the Thai people will see educational, land, bureaucratic or social security reforms and decentralization take place under the current government because the 19 coalition parties do not share a common ideology.

Crikey. A politician saying something sensible. That's worrying.

The fact that he is banned from political debates proves that Usurper Prayuth is an insecure & frightened manchild.

The Thai constitution isn't worth the paper its printed on.

Am I wrong or does Thanathorn seem to get many more micro phones jammed in his face than when Prayuth does when they speak to the press?

Thankfully there are people like him who can plainly state the obvious.   Life was better under the Shinawatras, not because they were great people, but they had a reasonable vision.   The army's vision is rather disjointed and does little for the average Thai . 

Remind me now how many people are there in the Thai armed forces with the rank of General or equivalent? How many have justified this elevation by being tested in battle, organizing a coup against an unarmed peaceful people does not count.

On the other hand there isn't really a group or party that can do a better job, or even do the job.

In the land of the blind and corrupt generals, one eye Thaksin stood out. 

His version of the future and the elite and Military being set back and downed several pegs is totally opposite of what El-Fathead is pushing and going to keep. Good luck to the FFP though! Thailand's greatest hope of breaking free.

"...did not believe that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, will be able to guide Thailand into the future..."

 

It will be impossible for anyone to guide Thailand towards the future, when it is lagging behind, trying to catch up with what advanced nations' consider the past.

Umh, lots and none!

Well no wonder all mics are on Thanathorn. The stupid and untruth of Prayut everybody knows already. Why are still all these oldies, stonaged guys in the government.  Let the young people create their future.  They don't need the experience of those who failed since years!!!

Worrying to the current government.. 

The threat to democracy and well being of the country is not the military but the corrupt politicians in democratic disguise who use democratic process to get to power and once power in hands behaving as dictator intolerant of different views implementing irresponsible corruption-prone policies for themselves and their crony and many more...

You got things crossed. Threat is hostile act. Democracy has obstacles. Military is a threat. They seized power as against elected power. They then imposed dictatorial power and abuses human rights to stay in power and corrupt blatantly. They can stay beyond the tenures of elected government. They can ripped the constitution and re-write to their advantage and make any amendments impossible. You must have a different definition of threat.

This is about the FFP leader and his comments regarding the government.

 

Not an opportunity to praise the crooked crime family, the Shinawattras, whose only visions seemed to be about themselves, increasing their wealth and cementing their control. What was better?

It's ok to threaten journalists, hound critics and opposition with the law and police agencies, throw lawsuits around to silence the opposition and critics, machine gun someone's mother's house just because they blew a whistle at your ex, and have opponents, innocents, including children murdered as long as you were elected is it Eric?

 

You have a somewhat warped idea of democracy.

Puzzlingly comparison. I am talking about the system of government violated by the military consistent seizure of power and you talking about the criminal acts of the junta.
