Two questions: is the electorate ready for all those handpicked candidates; it could be that none of those proposed sweethearts of Thai politics will ever make it again all those populistic election promises, i.e. wage increases, adding dozens of public holidays and other goodies so graciously granted by the government; does the electorate know that THEY pay for all this? The government can only spend money it got/took from somewhere else and the private sector is laying flat already with trillions of losses carried forward from coronaphobian ideas and other governmental wisdom! You been living under a rock? The current regime is so bad even you would be an upgrade. Thailand is at rock bottom - the only way is up. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

She may very well be a patriotic and caring individual who is willing to do the work and sacrifice the easy life for a better future for her fellow country men and women. If you can’t be rational at least don’t be needlessly nasty. What are you saying? He has as much right to express his opinion as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am giddy with anticipation. well don't fall over waiting for a competent elected government to improve the quality of life for the majority of Thais.

The Global Quality of Life index had Thailand standing at 40 in 2012 which was under an elected government while the index in 2022 had Thailand ranked 72. Said something.

zzaa09 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The bottom line and the reality, which obviously isn't recognized by most, still lies that the systems and extremely influential institutions remain the same masters regardless of said tradition or phony baloney political identities. It's all show for them and we're the suckers - as the surface rhetoric recycles. Debating endlessly [and uselessly] as if we know what's going on.......which appears to be not so. Quite conspicuous that too many pretend to understand what's going on here and how it all works....by way of their ingrain Occidental-lending manner. Amusing at best.

OneMoreFarang Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 She was ready when she was able to understand what her father told her and repeat it. Or does anybody expect from her to think by herself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you come back and face the music and serve your prison sentence.Otherwise shut up. You are coercing your remaining family members to enter politics with the selfish end goal of a pardon for yourself. That reminds me of Oak. What is he doing? Just spending all that money? I guess that would be the smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember when Yingluck started as PM? It was relative quiet at that time. People were looking what she will do. Will she work for Thailand and all Thais? Or will she do what her brother tells her and try to get him back. Few people complained about Yingluck until the moment when she and her party tried to whitewash the criminal fugitive in the middle of the night. That was the start of her end. And it was foreseeable for everybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 “Paetongtarn Shinawatra says she is ready to be Pheu Thai’s PM candidate.” Of course she is. And when she becomes PM, her daddy will have another puppet in power, just as he did when Yingluck was PM. And they will be laughing all the way to the bank. And the people of Thailand, again, will be left holding the short end of the stick. But that’s probably going to be the case anyway, no matter who becomes PM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good enough for me. How do you know that she would be "better than the current lot in every conceivable way"? That might be what you hope. And maybe she will be better. But maybe she will just follow the orders of her criminal father and continue with his corrupt politics. And maybe that will lead to more protests and another coup. The rest is history. It's time that Thailand gets out of the Shinawatra/coup circle. Thailand should have a government with honest and competent politicians who work for Thais and Thailand. That is obviously difficult and not that easy. Electing the same known corrupt people (or any of their family members) will bring the same outcome. Don't do it if you want that something changes to the better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyinBangrak Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 No matter how flawed she may be, it has to be better than an unelected military government that completely failed in it's basic mission to clean up the country. It is the wasted opportunity that gets to me. If Thais are miffed the country is about to be run by a fugitive(from Thai "justice" 55) on the run in Dubai they should be blaming Prayuth and Prawit for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
