After three months of almost no political activity due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Thai politicians have wasted no time getting back to “business as usual”.

 

A fierce fight has broken out within the core coalition Palang Pracharath Party as factions vie for coveted posts in the party’s executive leadership and in Cabinet. The main target is the “Four Boys” – the Cabinet quartet of economic technocrats overseen by Deputy PM Somkid Jatusripitak, whose days look numbered.

 

The infighting marks the return of old-school Thai politics, where factions battle for their “fair share” of ministerial portfolios based not on their candidates’ qualifications, but on the number of MPs they can muster.

The only thing that is going on is that the military is openly taking the power putting their stooges in at  the top. At least in the USA the people are free enough to speak up, protest and go anti without being suppressed, abducted or killed in masses. It's not perfect but if Thailand wants a change then the people need to do the same.
