PM Prayut, five other Cabinet members given vote of confidence

 

 

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and five of his Cabinet members easily won a vote of confidence from the House of Representatives this morning despite vicious attacks by the opposition against them during four days of censure debate.

 

The vote was boycotted by MPs of Pheu Thai Party, the biggest opposition party, which walked out of the chamber toward the end of the censure debate on Thursday night after it failed to convince the House to extend the debating time.

 

Prime Minister Prayut received 272 votes of confidence as opposed to 49 votes against him.   His are five votes fewer than the 277 votes of confidence received by Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan.

When it comes to time keeping (considering his watch collection), he'll get my vote of confidence.

Im pretty sure the rest of country is a little less confident in their gov as time rolls on... Its all just a big charade so they can impress themselves. I dont think the word confident should be used and perhaps ignorance? 

Breakdown of the vote of confidence:

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha 272-49 (2 abstentions)

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan 277-50 (2 abstentions)

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam 272-54 (2 abstentions)

Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda 272-54 (2 abstentions)

Foreign Minister Don Pramudvinai 272-55 (2 abstentions)

Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prom-pow 269-55 (7 abstentions)

 

 

Really? A convicted heroin smuggler? I guess as long as he donated to the right cause, all is forgiven.

Who cares. We all know it was a lopsided trash vote. No one expected anything different in outcome because he and porky p and the military have stacked everything that way. Still doesn't change anyone's and the moral majority of Thailand's opinion of disgust.

He doesnt look capable of wiping his own backside - how does anyone have confidence in him?

Vote of confidence, surely this is a joke.

Only people allowed to vote were Prayuts lackies, so not any kind of worthwhile vote.????????????

272 envelopes to the generals office on the double we have a circus to perform????

And why wouldn't he smirk like a laughing ringmaster knowing all along he had the stacked numbers to beat the clowns on the other side of the circus. Bend over khon Thai, he's here to stay! 

There are lots of stories about this man and this regime. It all just sickens me. I mean really sickens me. I don't take it as legitimate or something no threatening. The abuse has already happened. This is just like one of those Thai soap operas where a rape occurs and the victim marries the rapist. The Thai nation is the victim. You know who Prayuth and his appointees are.

One more of these reports which make me missing a vomit-emoticon ...

He picks the best restaurants and lends watches.

Praise by the rented sycophants 

Haha haha.......????????????????????????????

Keep in mind that Thailand IS a 3rd World Country (they are not a developing country, they are a surviving culture).  I do appreciate the fact that no Monks are dousing themselves with gas and setting themselves on fire.  Many in Iraq will tell you the greatest thing that ever happened to the country was Saddam Hussain removed, and the worst thing that ever happened was Saddam Hussain was removed.  Personally, I am thankful they allow me here.  However, if they didn't allow me to stay, it would not break my heart.

I see Prawit was spared with the help of PTP. What an absolute s***show. Just confirmation that Prayut is a puppet and Prawit is above him. Both are still puppets, mind.

What do you expect by boycotting? This is not how the will of your electors is respected!
It looks more and more like the Italian-style political system!

Abstentions are from those who know voting against the Government is the right thing to do but have no balls.

But hopefully NOT in the long run......I haven't yet met one student who likes these people.

 

This might be the reason that many of my ex-students are/were in Bangkok to show that they dislike them/.

 

Even foreigners are aware of the fact that the votes were manipulated. 

 

Here's one where Wasita, an ex student told me to post it visible to foreigners.

 

She's on the photo and she'll do all that the nightmare has an end.

 

And I couldn't agree more with her.
