PRIME MINISTER-DESIGNATE PITA Limjaroenrat today (June 7) allayed fears among members of the public that a Move Forward-led coalition government with himself taking the helm could possibly turn out to be a fiasco due to certain hurdles.

 

In a press conference at the Pheu Thai headquarters, Pita suggested the people rest assured of an imminent success in the setting up of the Move Forward-led government consisting of eight coalition partners despite feared obstacles which might possibly be raised by the Election Commission, Constitutional Court and all 250 unelected senators.

 

Pita said the startup performance of the coalition partners will likely occur sooner than anticipated, given the polling agency’s chairman Itthiporn Boonprakhong’s comments that the MP-verification process will be finished sooner than scheduled.

It will be a long and winding road with many road blocks and anxious moments, but in the end, I expect that Pita will be PM. Just my POV.

Yes, that will just leave enough time for campaigning for the next election

The EC dragging it's feet in making a decision is fueling the uncertainty and feeding the media frenzy with rhumours.

Yeah...I, too, believe that all this nonsense and whimsy will work itself out in favour of him and his circle.

That would be the Junta Gang created/appointed EC.

To be expected......they'll do what they do. 

 

As stated before these senators need to be declared enemies of the state. They are essentially committing treason, at this point. A list of their names and photos needs to be circulated. The people need to call them and their children, siblings, and parents out at work, at school, at restaurants, and in public. Shame them into submission. Embarrass them to no end. Make them conscious of the incredible amount of damage and erosion to democracy they are causing, and let Cha Cha know we are not buying his "I will be cooperative, and honor the results" nonsense.

 

If these illigitimate clowns don't act like adults and cooperate, all bets are off. Their health, safety and welfare could be in jeopardy. The people will not tolerate it. 

 

Make their lives so uncomfortable they quit a year early. It just might work. 

 

The military backed senators need to back down, and not cause problems. The army owes that to the people, after 9 plus years of devastating results. If Cha Cha is the tiniest bit sincere about not interfering, the last year of their time in office needs to be revoked immediately. Let the people make the decisions, not highly corrupt, totally compromised men who have sold their soul to the heinous, toxic army. 

 

Something needs to be done to tame these goons. They must be brought into line, or pay a very, very heavy price, for their absolute repudiation of democracy. They are now starting to behave like fascist goombahs. Let us attempt to show them what a very miserable life looks like!

Never, greed will keep them in the game! The trough is full! Oink oink! ????

It is already a disaster, speaking about acts of war against Myanmar, aggressive against Cambodia, China and Russia....Economic is toast.

On top of it Carbon fantasies. Electric prices are already hurting the competitiveness of producer. Talks of shutting down power plant makes it worse.

And who isn't dead will have to pay higher taxes

 

So either he makes a complete different politics than he talks....than his base will be upset or it will be an economic disaster, well worth the hammer and sickle he shows.

Time for some grown up...PTP and Thaksin...at least they can do economic.

Calling for violence and civil war is not helping anyone.....

No I think he insulted too many people already. There must be a less radical compromise

I think fear is also a very strong emotion. Let us hope they understand the ramifications of siding with a fading army, and denying the will of the people. All they need are 45 sensible senators.

Only a war on uncooperative senators who defy the will of the people and want to set Thailand back into the stone age. That is a righteous battle.

Agreed, but the army will always be a force, their function is to protect the rich!

i wonder if pita will like the smell of the trough. 

The people’s power in Thailand is now completely overwhelming. The military has no choice but to sit down, shut up and do as they’re told.

They all do, even if they don't, they will! They need to recoup the election "expenses"!

I disagree, who holds the weapons?

It's been over 3 weeks now and Prayut has never congratulated Pita or his party for winning the election.

Shame on you.

Until the EC certified the election results, congratulating the winner seem premature.

What use are weapons against a unified population? They may as well be holding their own dicks.

18 coups should answer that! The past 9 yrs of military rule is pretty self explanitory!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Pita is the most preferred PM while Shin was second, so if they Bar the first placeman, then....how bizarre a situation.

Accepting the current status quo only helps the corrupt caretaker government.

 

Comparing the number of electoral, party seats and the number of voters in favour of the coalition and against the current lot should give you a clue as to what the voters think.

 

But as a coup supporter they don't matter to you.

The current caretaker government is already history...they are as good as gone.

Who is unified. 71% of the population did not vote for MF. And from their voter I am sure the majority does not want civil war and can live well with a non controversial prime minister from PT.
