spidermike007 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 "Progressing Samut Prakan political group" is the new name for one division of the Future Forward party. Any time this party makes a political gain, it represents the nation taking one small step forward. Any time the ruling party loses an election of any sort, it represents a victory to the people of Thailand. Out with the dinosaurs, and in with the younger generation of forward thinking humans!

Does she no longer receive support from clan Asavahame? She is being backed by Chonsawat Asavahame, former Samut Prakan municipal mayor, and Nantida’s former husband who is now a member of parliament for the ruling Palang Pracharath Party. https://www.thaienquirer.com/21799/highlights-of-local-election-results-as-of-monday/ I actually remember her standing for parliament donkey's years ago, not long after she married Chonsawat. She put a cassette (yes, that long ago!) of specially recorded election songs through our gate. Unfortunately for her, it was an election at a time the Asavahame's had lost a lot of popularity in Samutprakan and most of the family lost out. They came back of course and I still have that cassette in mint condition wrapped in its plastic cover to this day!

RobU Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Perhaps a pop singer could become prime minister. The USA has already had an Actor as president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the lowest of the low, a captain of the swamp, a reality TV star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
