Paetongtarn Shinawatra says she is ready to be Pheu Thai’s PM candidate

[KhaoYai]

I hope she's also ready for some trumped up charges and a prison sentence.

How interesting indeed. 

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.

From such a vast distance, do you really think you’re in a position to be judging her character?

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.

Part of of forthcoming joy for those of us that support freedom and democracy is knowing that the keyboard warrior junta fanboys, who have been smugly cheering on every crime and misdeed the Generals have visited upon the Thai people for the past two decades, are going to be spending a great deal of time living under another Shinawatra’s Prime Ministership where day by day they will have to witness the quality of life for the majority of Thais improving under a competent elected government whilst they feebly attempt to deny ever loving the anti democratic forces as the mountain of theft and corruption committed by “the good people” is exposed by long overdue investigations.

 

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. Don’t they.

It’s all relative isn’t it?

Even the yellowest of the yellow juntalovers here have got to admit Prayuth has set the bar awfully low.

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]

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?

Old 'Tony ' Shinawatra will not rest until every member of his family are destroyed or confined to exile like himself and his sister.  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.

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.

When Yingluck started as PM, Prayuth and the military had just finished using live ammunition on civilians - murdering 100 of them.

Dishonesty will get you nowhere.

She would be better than the current lot in every conceivable way. And she would be an elected leader. That's good enough for me. 

[rudi49jr]

“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.

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.

What amazes me is a lot of Thais I talk to still hold taksin in high regard and hate what the generals have done to the country if they vote that way we have to see what happens another coup I hope not

How hilarious.

Your solution to stopping the Shinawatra / coup cycle is to continue supporting denying the Thai people democracy.

[SunnyinBangrak]

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.
