snoop1130 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 BANGKOK (NNT) - Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has gained ground in a new survey on Thailand’s top choice for premier, closing in on frontrunner Paetongtarn Shinawatra for popularity in Bangkok. The survey was conducted by Super Poll from February 17-18 and included 1,571 respondents. Political newcomer Paetongtarn was backed by 28.5% of respondents, while the premier received support from 25.7%. This marks a reversal of previous polls since September by the National Institute of Development Administration, in which Gen Prayut had garnered less than half of Paetongtarn’s support. The survey by Super Poll showed that Gen Prayut was the top choice in Bangkok among a third of those surveyed, while Paetongtarn was picked by 21.3% of respondents in the capital.

They need to run and hide when the military steal the whole country in a coup. It has been said that in a democracy the incumbent politicians can be voted out. In Thaksin's second election he was voted back in with an increased majority. Perhaps Yingluck would have done the same, but we will never know due to the army boots. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pedrogaz Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 Baffling. This PM has done absolutely nothing he promised.....returning happiness to the people??? What happened to that? I'm not seeing anyone dancing for joy in the streets as the price of everything goes up. Nor am I see the huge impact he was going to make on cleaning g up corruption.....again a total zero result. A useless bag of air.....exceeded only by his best pal another useless general called Prawit....yeah the one who forgot to tell reveal his love of watches as required of someone own government. I saw he got under 3% in yesterday's poll. I'd love to see Paetongtarn win, but then again she'll only be subject to another coup by the army so they can place a useless general at the helm. Oh Thailand I weep for you.....an Asian Tiger ranked 27th in the world for GDP has now slipped under successive coups down into 97th position. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Srikcir Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 Prayut doesn't have to win a majority in the House, just prevent the opposition collation from getting 51%. Then the Senate can add to his vote to put him to 51% or over. "System rigged." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 No way. This has to be fake news. I doubt 3% of the population would support this man. He is about the worst choice possible, and lacks any leadership ability. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....let's see - if I'm not mistaken, the dynasty is the government and has been running the show for ages. Semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been known to happen. ???? Also, wouldn't surprise me at all if he still has a greatly popular following and support amongst the tribes.

Back in the post-coup era Prayuth would often garner approval ratings in the mid to high 90% range from a Super Poll. Good to see these clowns are back and haven't re-branded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are noble goals which he has selflessly taken upon himself to complete. 8 years has proved to not be enough, he must resign himself to taking more time. And of course, the pending limitation on his time in office, well they can hardly be applied in the face of the democratic desire, so eloquently expressed by the Senate, to renew his tenure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did say his "twenty-year plan" was "irreversible". https://www.sme.go.th/upload/mod_download/download-20201012114016.pdf 20-year plan irreversible: PM PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha staunchly defended his 20-year national strategy plan yesterday and warned that people should not allow politicians to scrap it, even as scholars expressed their fears it could be used to sabotage future governments. “Today, many parties are saying that when they become the government, they’ll axe the national strategy,” Prayut said. “[That is] axing your own country. Will you people yield to that? You can’t. This is the avenue you must pursue if you want prosperity.” The junta leader made the remark in a speech “National Strategy: Thai Future Our Future” that he gave to the opening of the National Economic and Social Development Board’s annual meeting at Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani. The event was attended by more than 2,500 people from various sectors. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30355356 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
