Then who does he recommend and why? I can say my Som Tum lady should not be the next PM. But in truth she may be a welcome change. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thaksin has run out of choices. Yingluck was 'wrong for the job' and indeed didn't want it; refusing at the first ask but giving in to Brotherly pressure. Time for PT to be thinking of a New Age Leader; someone who would give them more credibility with the people and actually be a good PM. Seems to me though that the 'Leaders' at PT don't have enough Brains between them to see the light ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If politicians want to make sure that nobody thinks they are connected to Thaksin then they should stay away from that party. But obviously lots of Thai politicians still want to be friends with the fugitive criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she like her other family tries to get Thaksin home then it could lead to trouble. So it all depends do they want to work for the people (and take their corruption cut like the current MOB) or go after a Thaksin pardon again. (not beneficial to the people will lead to problems) Will have to wait and see for that one. The woman is an extremely low quality proxy for her father. She even had to cheat in the entrance exam to get into Chulalongkorn. Daddy ordered someone from the Education Ministry to get to exam papers out of the safe and make copies for her to enhance her preparations for the exam. There was a big hoo haa from parents of kids who were deemed to have failed the exam and rejected, accusing this woman of stealing their kids' places. The only thing a Thaksin proxy can do is push for an amnesty for daddy to come home and some massive corruption schemes like Yingluck's rice pledging scheme. Please get this toxic family out of politics for ever and let Thaksin come back only as ashes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingstonkid Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thailand needs someon tht is not part of any of the old guard. They need a new person that is not a retired General or member of a poitical family.

robblok Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 4 hours ago, Eric Loh said: A poll on leading choice for Prime Minister may be flattering but doubt she is interested in that role for now. His dad said that just couple months ago that he doesn't envision his daughter even contesting the poll. Thaksin see her in a learning curve and view the importance of her role in uniting the party ready for the election and a more youthful party image. In Thaksin own words Ï am not dreaming too far yet. I just want her to help with the academic work and bring people together to brainstorm ideas". Personally, I do agree that she need few more years in a political position to garner experience and relationship with the powers and people. But she definitely has all the attributes to be a future candidate for prime minister. Yea she will fit right in cheating on entrance exam and all. I mean its such a shame Thailand if full of losers like that. I don't mean just her but the fact they let a drug dealer in. It just shows how morally corrupt Thai politics on both sides is. Before I would mention Europe as an example, maybe if I say Western Europe Uk excluded it would be true. Seems standards in some countries in Europe have gone backwards too. Its just sad to see this in a country. I think we need time take care of this maybe in a far future things will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about the entrance exam leak and few students were alleged to benefit. The university investigated and could not determine any conclusive evidence.

The source of 'political instability' in Thailand is an establishment that refuses to accept a democratic verdict. And whilst Thaksin indeed really tore the ring on corruption even by Thai standards, if he can't return and be pardoned, why can the general continue as normal and not have to atone for the coup and all that has entailed? A democratic vote is a democratic vote - the people would have sorted Thaksin back in 2006, it was only a matter of time. Democracy is also about compromise and awaiting developments - something parade ground minds can't even grasp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Purdey Posted June 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2022 To understand Thaksin's popularity, people need to ask, why does he win elections? What did he do to make people grateful and vote for him? Everybody pays for votes, even Democrats, so what else did Thaksin do? I once asked a villager why people liked him. The answer was that most politicians want to eat the whole cake. Thaksin ate a lot but gave some back to the people too. Bringing happiness to the people is not a matter of free cinema tickets (remember that?). Thaksin's government launched programs to reduce poverty, expand infrastructure, promote small and medium-sized enterprises, and extend universal healthcare coverage (30 Baht scheme). That's why he and his siblings win elections. I know someone will ask about the 2,500 people who died in his war on drugs. No one asks about the people burned alive by the military in boiling oil during the red tanks episode. Thais do tend to forget the negatives, forget the past, and focus on who is going to improve their lives now. The Democrats didn't do anything. The current government hasn't done anything. People long for the time when a government actually helped them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather paradoxical that 2 popular elected Prime Ministers exiled for corruption charges and 1 potential candidate for prime minister Thanathorn arraigned for criminal charges and LM and can't stand for election while more serious crimes like staging coups went under punished and one even rewarded for 8 years as the premier. Meanwhile a drug dealer who sided with the cabal miitary was cleared by the court to be a cabinet minister and corruption charges of generals and ministers swept under the rug by the NACC. The political injustice is obviously clear even if the Shins are corrupted like all Thai politicians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
