Is there anyone closer to having a majority than Pita?

 

Politicians can certainly set up commissions to run investigations which can then recommend charges (what do you think the Asset Scrutiny Commission set up in 2006 was).

 

Your guess, like the rest of your post, is probably wrong.

His party has only 151/500.

The only way he will be PM is he makes a deal with the Shinawatras who the Asset Scrutiny Commission was setup to investigate.

this is starting to get silly. 
 

rather than poking the bear, Pita and the MFP need to form a government. until they do its all just hollow grandstanding.

his behavior since the election is that of an opposition leader -- no plan to run the coutry,  just vocal grandstanding.

To correct the details: overthrowing an expired (and therefor not legal) caretaker government, that just had broken elections and so preventing a civil war. There was no democratic elected government anymore.
Poor Economic performance: I agree 100%. Specially the first 4 years as dictator would have been a huge chance for reforms that you couldn't do normally. He complete failed.

I agree on that. But that doesn't make it a nightmare.
Covid: yes a mismanagement, whatever the opinions on Covid and vaccine it could have been done better. He did fear mongering, but not buying the western vaccine. That is not understandable. But in international comparison he avoided the polarization / massive split in society and anger and did not treat to shoot people (Like in the Philippines). Would give him a 3 out of 10 points on it....Not good but not a nightmare.
FDI....yes...

 

That makes him the average politician...neither a hero nor a villain. And with the red/yellow/Abhisit/Yingluck/Samak/Floods/RiceScam I am satisfied with average inefficient boring....Instead of missed opportunities you could have like 1.5 Meter water in the house while the government loosed a second year of rice harvest....
Instead of Prayuth I would prefer the first term (not the second) of Thaksin. Or the Dems government before. But I take Prayuth over Abhisit, Yingluck and Samak or Pita

 

There is never an excuse for forcefully taking over government especially by a totally unelected junta (who then cynically changes the constitution for its own benefit) . It's even less valid by orders of magnitude than an overstaying one. You talk about ”peaceful’ collating that with ”suppressed”. A favourite tool of any dictatorship...

The current incumbents have been bad for the country by any metric and will only increase that disadvantage by more suppression... sorry... peacefulness....

And, if I am not mistaken, he repeatedly had mandates from the people so didn't need to get into this circle-jerk of forming a coalition.

 

However, that didn't make any difference to the ruling classes who learned from experience that it's better (and less expensive) to keep this coalition on the never never rather than allow them accession and then have to roll the tanks against them at some time in the future.

Cowards attitude.

Leaders speak up and say things as they are, they don’t cower as sycophants.

Pita is up for the fight.

Good on him.

They say that AFTER they're elected. This guy is walking on thin ice and chatter like this will assure the military senators give him a "thumbs DOWN."

If He meant it He wouldn't be saying it now. He,d wait till He was in Power. Ill Advised Pre Election Promotion.

His party has the most seats - they won.

 

All recent Thai governments have been coalitions (including Prayuth’s).

 

Who set up the Asset Scrutiny Committee?

I don't see the coup makers meddling into courts.

They don't even need to "meddle", as they belong to the same network.

 

On top of it, there has been a major reset after the coup as all members of high courts and agencies (NAAC, EC, etc...) have been appointed or maintained in their position by the military and its allies. 

 

And it's not going to change because judges are not selected and appointed by the government.

Starting off by dwelling in the past.

Pathetic.

You have to learn from the past, and punish those who have abused their power, otherwise history will keep repeating itself. 

[spidermike007]

A rather nice dream. If Cha Cha was actually held accountable for his likely crimes he would be looking at ten life sentences. Instead, he will remain an untouchable general, with a ridiculous amount of ill gotten wealth.

When did you arrive in Thailand? That all was much worse under Thaksin (second term, the first one was OK), previous when the same group lead the 1997 crises, than with Samak, than the rice scam....
That was all way worse than Prayuth....Prayuth was in no way historic.....
"that there were few laws he did not break." of the thousands of laws he broke them almost all?? What is wrong with you all? Exaggerating till it is just only embarrassing.
Prayuth was just the average Thai politician.....did nothing good or bad and get heavily criticized from the Nationalists for it.....

Nah. You don't know what he did. How would you feel if you found out he embezzled $21 billion from the treasury? Would that change your lenient judgment of him? I am hopeful his crimes against the nation will be revealed over time.

B.S.!

 

Who decides what is legal or not? The courts. If illegal, the courts had the power to oust them, as they did with Yingluck. They did not do it!  Actually, that was one main reason for the coup. The courts had not been able to find a legal ground to oust the whole caretaker government, only Yingluck and a few ministers.

 

The potential civil war is also a fairy tale. It was one side making trouble: the yellow one. On top of it, Suthep's mobs were spreading thin and had lost their nuisance power. The EC agreed to organise elections in July, so there was a democratic solution in sight. And That's why they made a coup. Not to oust an powerless caretaker government: they did it to prevent people from choosing their government!

 

As to "broken elections", who blocked them?

 

Suthep's mob coup failed, the Judiciary coup failed, so the only way to prevent elections in July was a military coup.

PRIME MINISTER-DESIGNATE Pita Limjaroenrat said today (June 6) caretaker prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is yet to be held accountable for whatever loss and damage which he may have caused to the people and country over the last nine years.

He's right, of course, but is it really wise to say this out loud right now?

Frankly it is immature to threaten someone from the military before you are running the country.

Expect another coup.

Pita can say as he pleases and there is nothing the khaki clad dildos can do about it.

What did Prayuth do wrong? (Update: Thank you Spider Mike, Why am I  not surprised to hear that.)

What about Prawit? And Wissanu? Who covered for him and the convicted Heroin dealer who's name I can't be R'st to look up?

I think they may have some powerful backing in the wings, not to mention there will be a near revolution if the elites get ahead of themselves at this point. 

I'm no fan of Taksin's but if he won every election by an landslide and young Pita is even ahead of his records, they are on a hiding to nothing by trying to gun their way out of this loss. This is not Myanmar.

Don’t get too cocky. Just look at what happened in Myanmar. I’m sure the junta there will be very pleased to help out their Thai colleagues if needed. The people can want whatever they want and have elections and whatnot, but if the military decides otherwise, the people won’t get it.
