Charter Court asked to probe Pheu Thai party’s ฿10k campaign giveaway policy

[snoop1130]

 

A complaint was lodged with the Office of the Ombudsman today (Friday) by Sonthiya Sawasdee, a political activist, asking the Constitutional Court to investigate Pheu Thai party’s campaign promise to distribute 10,000 baht in digital money to each of the 55 million Thai people aged over 16.

 

Sonthiya said in the complaint that such a manifesto promisemay violate Section 258 (2) and (3) of the Constitution, which could result in the dissolution of the party.

 

The political activist said that, according to the Pheu Thai party, the policy will require about 560 billion baht of funding, or about 20% of Thailand’s national budget.

He is just doing his job, which he is paid to do.

 

Have you noticed that there are no problems or complaints about the UTN or any of the other coalition parties?

So losing in polls, trying to rig it again.

Maybe they should also check if that political party is remote controlled by a fugitive criminal. Or is that now legal in Thailand?

I knew something would be tried.

Polls are not satisfying.

Basically it's corrupt Bangkok people running the show. Sad really. Tourists should boycott the place. Fly north. Spend all your money there.

They keep on dividing the country, and we al know were will lead to..... The people will not accept the Pheu Thai will be banned or dissolved, so stop this madness please and get rid of this man because he surely doesn't know what he is doing.... There are promisses at all parties and we don't know if any will be real, when they are chosen

Interesting that the often-cited alleged pro-military influenced Court* might rule on the alleged complaint after it investigates a complaint related to a military opposition party. 

That would be an amazing feat of unbiased review.

In Western parlance "judge and jury" would be the same party, albeit there are no jury trials in Thailand.

Would there be any doubt in the Court's decision against the PTP based on evidenced produced by the Court itself? 

* under the 2017 Constitution written by the junta.

Probably because the minor parties are of little threat nor truly threatening.

The only question is whether the military or judiciary does it. Looks like the judiciary had fired the first shot.

Better keep your money in your pocket or it will be gone quick smart.

 

What's really going to be fun to watch is all the junta lovers spending the next 20 years frothing at the mouth living under Pheu Thai / Move Forward governments.

 

Thaksin is about to become a daily presence in your existence there old chum.

That's fine just as long as there are no soldiers involved with the party that wins  the election.

Jim, Pheua Thai have just told voters to vote strategically to prevent Prayuth's return.

In other words don't vote for Move Forward, it's a wasted vote.

I told you before, PT don't like MF who are the real deal wanting meaningful reform. 

PT don't want significant change in Thailand, just offer the peasants some crumbs and try to bring back the paymaster.

What are you going to do when Pheua Thai team up with Pravit? 

Send your credentials to the house of detention?

How about the UTN, BJT or the PPRP?

 

Are they small parties too?

Exactly my point. 
Pheu Thai is better than Prayuth

Move Forward is better than Pheu Thai.

Its a step by step process.

I can see PT winning this and the next election and Move Forward winning the next two after that.

Change / improvement is gradual.

Either way, the military / elites or on the outer for at least a generation.

Hmmm....

What kind of specific and dreamy change? 

Truly.....what do the likes of PT or MF have to offer the commons? - in practice....not just rhetoric.

 

Some wiser [or cynical] folks might not be buying into such projected scenarios.

Well, if you're slow on the uptake, I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

 

In the meantime, why do you think the love and adoration the commoners, peasants, underclasses and downtrodden masses have for Thaksin is so so enduring?

 

Answer the above question and you'll have the answer to the question posed in your previous post.

But some of the very poorest parts of the country never voted for Thaksin parties.

That is very true.

The south has never had much interest in Thaksin.

What is also very true, is that the bulk of Thaksin's support has always come from the poorer sectors of society (predominantly from the north and north-east).

 

Why is Pheu Thai the favourite to win the upcoming election?

Whom does their supporter base consist of....is it upperclass, gentrified elites?

 

Thaksin's most effective policies were reducing rural poverty and the introduction of universal healthcare, allowing him to gather the hitherto-neglected support of the rural poor, especially in the populous northeast.

 

100% of the poor don't support Thaksin - the vast majority of them do.

So what is your point?

[connda]

It should be illegal.  It's highly inflationary and it reeks of corruption.

Let's hope that something comes of it in positive manner. 

Though, I have my doubts....
