Battle between Thammanat and coalition govt has no losers (except voters): analysts

Palang Pracharath Party’s move to expel secretary-general Thammanat Prompao and 20 other MPs under his control is more of a political soap opera than an actual split, analysts say. It’s a win-win game for all involved – while voters get nothing, they add.

 

The ruling party on Wednesday (Jan 19) decided to oust Thammanat and his faction, allegedly causing division by demanding a party overhaul. It is believed that Thammanat and his faction wanted the party restructured in a bid to obtain ministerial seats.

 

Now, Thammanat and his 20 cronies have only 30 days to find a new party so they can hang on to their MP status.

 

Thammanat has been at loggerheads with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha since September last year when the then-party secretary-general reportedly plotted to unseat the premier in a censure debate.

"Voters get nothing.........."

 

On the contrary, they get disaffection, disarray and division in the regime, and a less secure majority for it.

 

That's terrific news.........more of the same please.

Exactly! Voters did not lose anything either because there was nothing more for them to lose.

What a hopeless kindergarten and no ruler to bring this ridiculous behaviour to a screeching stop. 

A failed state!
