PALANG PRACHARATH leader Prawit Wongsuwan said today (Apr.19) no party contesting the May 14 general election, especially his own, is looking to set up or join in a minority government only to run the country in a precarious fashion.

 

Prawit posted on his Facebook page to reassure that his party contesting the nationwide election under a primary campaign slogan to “step beyond conflict” has not contemplated setting up or joining a minority government as currently feared among critics.

 

The Palang Pracharth boss apparently referred to possibilities of caretaker prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha manipulating to set up a minority government, given the likely overwhelming support from most of the 250 unelected senators, albeit being given yea votes from less than half the total of 500 elected MPs.

All or nothing, and he's got nothing to offer anymore.

Well we don't know what the guy behind him is doing, but HE doesn't seem too pleased about supporting him.

Seems like he is admitting that the previous campaign of "bringing back happiness to Thai people" resulted in conflict...

So, yea, give him another go at it, Thai people.

Seen as dull uncomprehending features.......

As Acting Minister of Transport. I hope that Anutin reminds Prawit that each time he collapses into the back seat of his limousine he is required to fasten his seat belt. Lead by example. Excuses such as 'It's not long enough; wont cut it.

He should just shut up and go back to sleep.
