Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2023 Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul insisted today (Tuesday) that his Bhumjaithai Party has not made a pre-election deal with any political party. Anutin raised journalists’ eyebrows when he embraced Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in front of them following the weekly Cabinet meeting today. “There is nothing to it. No deal has been made with any party,” Anutin said.

billd766 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 To quote Mandy Rice Davies from back in 1963, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Rice-Davies While being cross-examined at Ward's trial, Rice-Davies made a riposte which has since become famous. When James Burge, the defence counsel, pointed out that Lord Astor denied an affair or even having met her, she dismissed this, giggling "Well he would, wouldn't he?"[9] (often misquoted "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzaa09 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Ain't this fun!? ....and even today, the wisest of all speculation can't guess what's gonna happen.......what with all the usual shenanigans and whatnot. So......don't be too disappointed that when May comes rollin' around, we find ourselves in a forced takeover in one manner or another. Notice the mainstream press excludes any reference or chatter about the Move Forward folks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bamnutsak Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 There may not be a "deal" but there is a "plan". While it is difficult to keep track of the bodies, as they jump parties, it still feels as though PPRP/UTN will need BJT and the Dems beat PTP+Move Forward. BJT may outperform expectations, as demographics shift. And any "plan" will involve "shenanigans", again. Short of the EC/CC bouncing MF or PTP it will be a very close race to form a majority government and appoint an unelected PM. But I can't see the PtB allowing anything other than a military-backed government, again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pedrogaz Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 How can anyone believe anything this opportunist says. He's dumb as a box of hammers. Anyone with his level of incompetence, IQ and sense should be investigated by NACC. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit trickier these days as control needs to be attained maintained with a veneer of "democracy", rather than at the business end of a firearm. So while the results are the same, more makeup and lipstick is required in "modern" Siam. Edited March 22, 2023 by bamnutsak 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And save the 5.9 BILLION baht which the "cabinet" approved for a budget for the "election". Democracy theatre. Same-same as Khon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 No deals made Yet. They are drumming up new votes for a couple different Parties For Payment around here. Great for some extra money for big families of 4/6 voters gives them an extra THB 500 per vote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Anutin would still be in the construction business, if it were not for the deals he has made. His entire life has been about deals, and very little of what he has achieved has been due to merit or real accomplishment. So, now we know. If he says it, it is likely not true. It is simply hot air, deflection and lies. That is who and what the man is. An empty suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
