He is following orders just like all of them do. The real question to answer is: Who is really giving the orders ? [It is not any politician in any country, that's for sure ! Not in Thailand or in any other country for this matter.] And so now the reality of why the protestors marched to where they went last night. The one person calling the shots supported by the current Government regime led by the PM, but who is the man behind the Curtain, it surely is not the Wizard of OZ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Careful MPR's. It's a trick question. Can he have a coup against himself? Absurd I know. Almost like a president saying he could pardon himself. Wait they already did pardon themselves "The wheels of plutocracy are greased with the blood of patriots" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one month after election! That its how it go in "normal" world! Biggest party get PM and start to build capinet whit others! The issue is an unelected Senate that also needs to be removed as well. No matter what Parliament votes are on reconciliation and Charter modifications, the current Senate setup is all in Prayut's back pocket. He stacked the deck when they went into power to ensure that he would remain in power for a very long time, unless another Coup occurred. However, to ensure a Coup could not occur from within Bangkok the top two military units were put under the command of one specific person who truly is the one that needs modifications made to the powerbase he enjoys. Just my opinion from an outside view looking in. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 They need to set up 30 day Snap elections and open it all up again. It is all that it should take to get another Government in place. They do not need to set up election committees to review the election process or who can run for a specific election. The banning of prior elected officials needs to be looked at, and really viewed as nothing more than Political hit jobs, one side against another. Almost sounds like back home, except they do not get banned. If what they did was illegal then they go to jail. Where else can you be an elected official and still be a convicted felon, yes, my home country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it will be kicking and screaming as it won't be about the people it will be about him and his ego. But if this country has any chance of moving forward, he has to go now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing he is facing is called double jeopardy. He was already stripped of being and MP, then his Party was banned, now they want to push the knife in deeper as they believe he is the root cause of the problems they face with the protestors. They think that by chopping off the head it will stop. Sorry to inform Prayut and his cronies that they have climbed into the lions den and there are many more taking the places of those that fall before them. Then, they also want to take away the 191 million Baht loan and and use it themselves, what depraved individuals the ECC are, also backed by the current government. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the real cronies, they are the ones that keep the PM in his seat. The PM is just a puppet unlike just after the coup when he, indeed, was in charge. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he will be replaced by another idiot and we will start all over again. It is like a never ending boxing match. This round will go to x the next round will go to Y until they have a winner. A couple fights later he will lose his title and a new champion will start all over again. Only the promoters (politically families) will gain.

JusticeGB Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Make sure advance payments are made on all the huge infrastructure projects, take out the brown envelopes, pass a law to absolve you for any mistakes that you may have made whilst in office and give yourself a big pension.

Grrovy Constitution ya got there. 23rd time is a charm. Heads I win, tails the people lose. If only Section 171 could be used? The Constitution du Jour was made to be bullet-proof, although changes made AFTER the public referendum raise questions best left unaddressed.

He has already passed a law to absolve himself and all of his cabinet, for all and any mistakes that they may have made while in office, and of course he also had more legislation passed to ensure he could stay in office for 20 years and enjoy the spoils of being a dictator/coup leader. I think he is more in line with Fidel Castro now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
