snoop1130 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Future Forward ex-MPs set to launch new party By The Nation Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, Pita Limjaroenrat, Piyabutr Saengkanokkul Kao Klai Party has been chosen as the name of a new party being launched by former executives of the dissolved Future Forward Party. The name was chosen after a vote at a seminar of the former executives held in Nakhon Nayok province from February 28 to March 1. The name was expected to be officially announced on Friday (March 6). The direction of the new party would be different from Future Forward with focus more on job creation and less on conflicts with the government. Some 55 former MPs of Future Forward were expected to register for the new party on March 8 and the party would officially be established on the same day. General people will also be allowed to register as members on March 8. The party is planning to have a big meeting with a new logo unveiled in April. The dissolution of Future Forward Party by the Constitutional Court's ruling has led to several protests from Thai students throughout the country, political activities outside the House of Representatives and the defection of Future Forward MPs who joined Bhumjaithai Party.

It's unfortunate to see them pandering and shying away from conflict. This is what made them a formidable force. Using the initials KK may not be the best idea that they have had :), or maybe it's deliberate. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertson468 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think with their new policy, they will loose the vast majority of the young voters. I will watch the development of this Party with interest, as I am sure will many others, but it doesn't sound well for challenging the Government over it's that are not beneficial to the populace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Another Thai political party. They must be running out of available names soon. A deviation from the original Future Forward party's ideology will not the 6 million disenfranchised voters attract. 55 MPs from the late lamented FFP are expected to join. Why would they when the new party doesn't stand for what the old party did? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 The direction of the new party would be different from Future Forward with focus more on job creation and less on conflicts with the government. Thanathorn is a smart guy. He will start in a way that does not provoke the thin skinned, and incredibly weak army minds, and then gradually build it into a huge movement, that will hopefully generate enough support to oust the hapless and pathetic army once and for all. There is no need for them in Thai society. They serve no useful function, and have outstayed their welcome. They are despised. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
