It doesn't matter at all what the people voted. The last two democratically elected governments were removed as the 'wrong' party won (I'm discounting the last election before this, held under new rules introduced by the military). So even though the new broom has managed to beat the odds by garnering enough votes, it might well ultimately mean nothing other than more riots on the streets when the legitimately elected government is banned from taking power by the elites. As it always has been. I suppose TAT could spin the riots as a tourist attraction.

TAT could allow you to pick sides adding to the excitement.

But not bet on the winner :tongue:. That's illegal. Unlike removing an elected government.

It wont be the unelected senators that derail the party, it will be Pita's media shares holding/ownership ruling by the EC which, according to the B.P, is expected soon.

Woe, woe and thrice woe.

There appear those who believe the people are to be listened to... And if not, that they shall rise against the oppressor with pitchforks and small arms.

While the oppressor has tanks.

The thing is that Pita would change the constitution and the unelected senators will be jobless of course. So it's clear they'll stick to their chairs and will not support Pita. I really don't know how he will gather his allies in the unelected part of senate.?????

and there is the exact problem - the people voted in an election and the winners need the unelected senate permission to run the country - sorry but the democracy handbook doesn't have that page

 

the people voted - junta/military parties got their marching orders - dumped

 

it's a very clear message

Same in the UK, did anyone apart from their cronies vote in the last two Prime Ministers.

What good are tanks that cannot be used.

The junta has been checkmated.

It is over.

How on Earth are they acting like spoilt brats? Read their manifesto, they won an election on well advertised policies that address all of your points.

They did not win enough to rule alone so they must compromise with others. They got like 36% (don't have the number) at a 75% turnout. So 73% did not vote for them. Means they must compromise and try to unite people.

Has the UK military recently overthrown the elected government and appointed themselves to rewrite the constitution and remain in control?

 

And the UK has had his many constitutions in the last 1000 years ?

just 1 isn’t it ?

 

And Thailand has had how many rewrites of the constitution in the last 70 years? 

1 for each coup ?

 

Its not really the same, is it?

how is economic grow and inflation at the moment in UK? Must be fantastic thanks to no coups and a 1000 year old constitution.

ha ha nice try

 

it is up to each party to decide who their leader is, they are all elected by the people and have won their seats - nobody in the UK can serve as an MP or PM unless they win their seat
