By Thai Newsroom Reporters

 

THE LATEST BATCH of a dozen coalition MPs has departed from coalition partners to hop over to the Ruam Thai Sang Chart, leaving 405 others attending the last day of the current House of Representatives today (Feb.28).

 

Deputy House Speaker Supachai Bhosu confirmed 10 Palang Pracharath MPs and two Democrat MPs have resigned less than a week before the House’s final term ended today.

 

All those lawmakers who have just called it quits were known to be joining the Ruam Thai Sang Chart under whose tickets Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is contesting to prolong his rule in a general election tentatively scheduled for May 7.

Pro Prayut party, held in a phone booth ?

Well, when one has splashed out all those spondulicks on one of those elaborate silk "Dr No tunics," it only makes sense to get the wear out of it!

 

It is certainly not because they are captivated by his charm and personality, judging by the looks on the faces of the two stooges flanking him in the OP photograph!

The PPP members resigning will go to the UTN/Prayut.

 

The Dem members will go to either PPP or UTN.

 

Assuming they get "elected".

 

Thai-style democracy in action, or more colloquially, the "Pre-election".

Any politician who lines up with the general is obviously anti-democratic

Yes they are, that's the politicians, but keep in mind there will still be the generals/senators.

Doesn't matter the proposed political identity that they may wish to abandoned, jump to similar or form anew - the club remains the same in it's essence. 

 

Nothing really changes.....not even the rhetoric.

Mostly for show and features for the gullible press and electorate. 

 

Same as it ever was.
