Popular Post webfact Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 A disappointed looking Prime Minister Prayut Chan ocha, on Wednesday, thanked the public for its cooperation during the COVID-19 crisis. What should have been a moment of triumph was anything but as it appears that his government is now living on borrowed time with fractures and divisions opening up on all fronts among the 18 party coalition. The non-attendance by 7 Bhumjaithai Party ministers on Tuesday over a dispute between the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of the Interior is increasingly becoming a challenge to the government’s integrity even with the ruling party already in turmoil with the prospect of the government surviving a July motion of no confidence looking extremely tenuous. by Joseph O' Connor Thailand may not only be facing a General Election in 2022 but also another political crisis if the government does not successfully see the passage of two organic laws on the voting process successfully guided through parliament. The likelihood of this happening is also receding in line with the fortunes of the administration with disturbing failures in parliament during this session to reach a quorum. A General Election looks increasingly likely in Thailand this year after Tuesday’s boycott of cabinet proceedings by the second-largest party in the unwieldy 18 party coalition which has already been severely weakened by infighting within the ruling Palang Pracharat Party, bye-election losses as well as an inability to control and direct proceedings in parliament. The deadline for the government increasingly appears to be July ahead of the tabling of a no-confidence motion in the government expected that month which it is increasingly looking unlikely to survive. The prospects for the government serving out its final 12 months looked decidedly slimmer on Tuesday after a boycott of the weekly cabinet meeting by the Bhumjaithai Party took place over a contract extension to the BTS Group, the operators of Bangkok’s popular Skytrain system.

spidermike007 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 One can only hope. This nation needs new and effective leadership, and the circus clowns need to be shown the door, asap. Th extent to which they have failed the Thai people is mind boggling. Get out. Get out now. You are not needed. You are not wanted. You are despised, like never before. Your real approval rating is likely down to 2%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get a job as a circus midget along with the other Chuckle Brother and their clowns, only downside is I have never heard of any circuses in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Please use discretion in your references to the government. Phrases which can be considered as anti-coup will be removed. Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is a daily circus providing laughs with every silly decision they make. Edited February 11, 2022 by tlcwaterfall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
