Thailand’s ruling Palang Pracharat Party (PPRP) has decided to expel its controversial secretary-general, Thammanat Prompao, and 20 MPs loyal to him because they made a demand which the party found to be unacceptable and which may damage the party if it acquiesced, PPRP Deputy Leader Paiboon Nititawan told a news conference this morning.

 

Paiboon said the group had demanded a total revamp of the party’s structure, while threatening that the party would be in trouble if their demand was not met.

 

The demand was submitted to PPRP Leader Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, who is also a deputy prime minister. Prawit then called an urgent meeting of the party’s executive committee, at the Five Provinces Bordering Forest Preservation Foundation, yesterday evening.

Trouble at mill.

Maybe he 'gave them an offer, which they refused.' Keep your horses locked in the stable.????

Imagine these guys asking for improvement, evolution and progress. How dare they? Don't they realize we are the backwards party, we resist progress in all of its forms, and we are attempting to redefine the term devolution? 

One report says he left due to taking exception to blame for elections in the south, this one because he wants total reform of the party. Isn't there a Fake News Strike Force Dept somewhere now?
