Popular Post bannork Posted May 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2023 Sad to see him go. One of the hardest working and experienced politicians in Thailand. Clean as well, he lives modestly. Imo his ambition and The Democrats' inability to see and act accordingly to the winds of change proved their downfall. For a party that contains many intelligent people, it bewilders me they failed to see the rise of FF as a sign of the times. Jurin voted for Prayuth to be PM because he wanted to be a Minister again but that signalled the death of the party. The royalists would stick with the diehards, Prayuth and Pravit, the reformists would go to MF. Amazing Jurin couldn't see this 2 3 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Jurin couldn't see this How can you be "clean as well" when you sell your soul for a minister's seat (Jurin voted for Prayuth to be PM because he wanted to be a Minister again)? Hey, just asking'. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinchester Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Still paying the price for teaming up with the coup makers at the last election. Never has 'som nom naa' been so apt a Thai phrase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Ahbisit resigned after poor election showing as a result of his decision to work with the military and now Jurin suffered the same fate. The party image has been battered beyond salvation. Pity as they are the oldest party and had some golden years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyclist Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 The democrats used to pretty much sweep the whole of the south. Voting for the Democrats in the south probably was as much a anti Pheua Thai/Isan vote as it was a vote for the Democrats themselves. Now ,with a more progressive , non-establishment party available, the Southerners seem to have abandoned the Democrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
