DE FACTO PHEU THAI BOSS Thaksin Shinawatra has arrived in Hong Kong today (Feb.25) with intent to monitor an ongoing electoral campaign in northern Thailand where his daughter Paetongtarn is wooing popular support, a partisan source said.

 

The Pheu Thai electoral campaign is being held over the weekend in Chiang Rai today and Chiang Mai tomorrow. Chiang Mai is the Shinawatra family’s native town.

 

Paetongtarn is one of a trio of Pheu Thai partisan contenders for prime minister in an upcoming general election. 

 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission might possibly file a petition for the Constitutional Court to judge whether the Pheu Thai rank and file may have violated the law by being practically masterminded by Thaksin.

These are things we don't talk about in polite Mafia circles. 

Hub of Proxy Politics?

My they are all running about like busy ants all these power-brokers and 'pollies'. The news is full of all their antics, jockeying and manoeuvrings. 

It's time to resolve the party which is clearly run by a criminal fugitive.

And ban all politicians who work for that wanted criminal.

 

And when will Thai voters learn that it is not possible to run a country on remote control. Why are they voting for that criminal? 

Best wishes and good luck to you, your daughter and your party, hoping the prosperity and happiness returns to the North away from the "stuffy" elite establishment in Bangkok. Us country bumpkins knew your conviction was politically motivated.

And when will confused expats learn that coups aren't the answer to anything? Probably never.....

Criminally suspicious political parties.

Such a character might describe all of 'em.
