Is it just me or can anyone else see the excuse of "opposition parties are not willing to move forward with matters of governance" as the perfect reason for the staging of another coup?

ISOC has oversight of politicians down to the grassroots level, ie., villages. 

State of Emergency continues in the Southern Provinces since imposed in 2014.

Former NCPO Chief and current PM Prayut remains as Head of Government, Minister of Defense, Supervisor of DSI and RTP.

Prayut remains as chairman of various agency board of directors.

And as you noted, the Senate was hand picked by a selection committee whose members were selected by Prayut and includes both active and retired military officers, including former consultants to the NCPO selected by Gen. Prayut.

Narrator: It was time for another coup...

There's still hope.

Another fresh coup might brighten things up. Although, similar players will be apart of the age-old theatre.

Poor old Prawit.  In the photo he seems lost without his dead friend's watch.

Not quite... he is eyeing his friend on the left's gold ring...
