Popular Post webfact Posted April 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 Incumbent Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has expressed confidence that his United Thai Nation Party will win enough seats in the upcoming election for him to be nominated as the next prime minister. He also said, however, that he is ready to accept whatever the poll results turn out to be. “I will just go home. Where else could I go?” he said when asked whether he would call it quits, politically, if his party and its allies are not able to muster enough support to form a coalition. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Thai PBS on Saturday, the outgoing prime minister pointed out that, based on recent opinion polls, he and his United Thai Nation have been gaining ground. Prayut is a prime ministerial candidate of United Thai Nation,but is not running for MP.

Popular Post Andycoops Posted April 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2023 His current home is a bunker on a army base in which he lives free of charge, does he expect to continue living there after his defeat at the polls, bearing in mind that you can't find his name on any ballot paper, yet again. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 So "Do Not Pass Go, To Jail" not an option for the coup leader, who's not the PM but is the PM? That's a comeback some people might like to see that would justify a vote for a new leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I would not rule this out of hand. Remember how a PM is put in place here. It may still be that Phue Thai get 50+1 which I thinks makes it very difficult for his mates in the House and The Senate to get together to vote him in as PM. Not sure but the case is this is what can happen. Happened last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Judging from his low energy and poor turnout of people for his election campaign, I think he is in for a drubbing. Compare with the enthusiastic and sponstaneous crowds at Phue Thai and Move Forward rallies, Prayut's walk around campaign looks fake with the supporters giving him roses. Even when asked by the crowd what are his policies, he utter with disrespect and arrogance that he will only tell unless the people elect him as Prime Minister, Thailand grudglingly had 8 years of him and it's time to dumb him together with the other walking dead General. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Prayut was only impersonating the power of the network which put him and Prawit into power. If Prayut goes, it does not mean this network will lose power and influence, as it includes most appointed people who have a direct or indirect influence on politics: the Senate, the Judiciary, the agencies such as the NACC or the EC, high-level civil servants, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzaa09 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 All the underhanded politics, debates and reasoned discussions aside......it most certainly is time for a dramatic shift and change. Perhaps we're witnessing the gradual diminishing of the traditional old guard for good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PTP win an overall majority and 376 seats, with or without a coalition, they can simply tear up the current constitution, go back to the 1997 constitution and amend it. That would solve the senate problem, just dissolve the senate and sack ALL the senators. If that should happen, I wonder what the self granted amnesty to the coup leaders would be worth? After all that is what happens with every coup. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all that is what happens with every coup. 376 seats out of the 500 up for grabs is unlikely but not impossible and will require several coalition partners. It's only a realistic prospect if PT and Move Forward are in the same coalition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Sorry to disappoint you, but you have failed so miserably, so resuloutely, and have given nothing to the people, other than a few infrastructure projects. Go home. Get out. You are not only facing huge disapproval, you are utterly despised by 95%! You have failed. You are a failure. Give your nation a chance Mr. Caretaker PM. See ya! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, are you prepared to admit this is NOT a democracy? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
