webfact Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 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.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited June 8, 2023 by spidermike007 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 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. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeMachine Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
