That is false, Yingluck was not "ousted by the current government", she was not even PM at the time of the coup.   She had been removed from her position by the Constitutional Court before the coup.

Have you ever asked yourself who controls who, what, where and when in the LOS ?

 

Ever heard of a witch hunt, she is fortunate they allowed her to exit, could it be because they fearing another bloody uprising, or was it their only choice.

 

After all, it's not as if they want to be seen dipping their fingers into the gravy train, and perhaps be embarrassed by the lose an expensive watch or two at the same time, borrowed from a friend of course.

Well it’s not like it matters what she thinks or does.  She will never be PM without the support and endorsement of he can not be mentioned.  Wonder how the Taksin clan stands there?

They will support and elect anyone as long as they are given a free sack of rice! ????

Cool...then she can be coup'd out (or otherwise removed) too! My money's on The Thaksin Trifecta of Failed Family politicians! ????

I’d love to see future forward win, but if not I’d take her. I found living under the Thaskin rule quite good. Yeah he had his pockets lined and a few other issues, but at least he welcomed foreigners. Anything is better than this lot of fools.

I don't agree on most of your points. Please share why you say "...but at least he welcomed foreigners."

IMO, as a former Northern Thai ex-pat, Great News!!

If successful, maybe she will be able to shift resources away from "establishment" Bangkok to support the Northern Provinces, like her father did.

Thaskin allowed long term visas to foreigners with at least a 3 million or 3 1/2 million baht investment in Thai property. He wanted foreigners to come and stay. He was a businessman and was much more welcoming to us. He seemed to try at least.

Finally some hope for this country, but the regime's cheating and lying to fight off change will be unsurpassed.

The rich and powerful continue to fight amongst themselves for even more money and more power.  While the people become the equivalent of a lowly soi dog.  Some will get scraps with meat on the bone, while most will go hungry.

No idea, i just don't see much difference between either side. Maybe the Thaksin party is a bit less bad right now. But prefer future forward. I think neither the Thaksin party nor the government parties are any good. All are self serving, future forward might be the only exception. 

Except one party was elected and the other appointed themselves.

No, not much difference

Brilliant.....she is just what this country needs as a leader! She's learnt how to be corrupt....she's smart (well..educated in the UK..is that good?), can't speak Engrish well...she not hard on the eye...and has an iPhone 13....what else does a leader need?

Not impossible but actually high possibility judging from people sentiments on suitable prime minister candidate. She has been featured quite prominently in poll garnering close second to K Pita of MFP and not far from Prayut who is sinking like a rock in popularity each day. Even K Sudarat was a distant 4th favourite and the rest of the field for possibly prime minister like Anutin (BJP) and Jurin (DP) were almost non existence. K Pita will have a problem getting the rural support away from Ing. Those yellow shirts have lost their cause and a spent force. It's her to take unless the military snatched democracy out of the grips of the people again.

Thaksin.

Thaksin's sister.

Thaksin's daughter.

Thaksin's chauffeur.

Thaksin's gopher.

Thaksin's  ghost. (eventually)

Can't someone else have a go?

Are there any honest politicians in any country in the world? I cannot speak for other countries, but not in my lifetime has there been any honest decent politicians in any of the two major parties in the UK. They have all been lying hypocrites, some worse than others.

You exagerate , there are many honest , unheralded MP's in the UK. 

Regardless of their policies , the likes of Tony Benn and Ken Clarke , for example , could hardly be described as liars or hypocrites.

[kingstonkid]

I think the young Thais are looking for someone different and a different party.  

 

Pheu Thai will last until the old farmers stop voting then they will also die off.

Remember they did not do that well in the last election. 

They need to revamp and get away from the Shinawattra dome.  They need to clear the party of the old guard to be effective

I remember as a young teenager Tony Benn wrote a weekly column in the Scottish Daily Record critising people for taking time of work for having a bad back. In those days people only got a two week paid holiday in a year plus extra days at Christmas and New year, while Benn got 3 months paid holiday a year as an MP. So he cannot be described as a hypocrite??

This is a man who was a Labour MP. The labour party, the party of the working class?? What a joke.

He took a stand and calls for royal reformation on the parliament floor. That's sacrilege to the yellow shirt movement. You misunderstand. What I meant is that he is young to politics and from a wealthy family and had not cultivate the network to work for him in the rural areas.
