Popular Post RichardColeman Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 Can't see it being lifted before the next pseudo election. Either that or they lift it and declare the result null and void saying the turnout was too low. ( I actually expect a new law that election results only take effect when 80% - or something just as daft - take part in the election) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Can this man rule without dictatorial powers? When he was elected PM, I noted that as the leader of the junta to make people jump, if he said 'jump'. PM ,as the leader of a party in Parliament has no such powers and he has to persuade ands cajole people to his will.....well he has had the state of emergency to help him almost continuously since he became PM. How on earth will we ever get rid of this tyrant? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will need others to be moved on also as well as him to ensure Thailand can start to return to normality. Unfortunately the damage done over the years will possibly take decades to repair assuming that is all of those needing removal are indeed removed. If not a Burmese situation could easily become the issue in Thailand. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post huangnon Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 A lot of old dinosaurs need to stumble off into their well-appointed tar-pits before Thailand can move on again from this level. The continual "state of emergency" is an utter debacle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freed1948 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It is of no use commenting on this decree. It has been extended so many times by this excuse for a democratic government that it is fixed until it is ousted by the people. I myself yearn for the protesting students to return to the streets, but they can't while this decree is in place. So what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
