So they should allow to let him go away with breaking the law....because what?
Of course if he would not brake the law they can not block him. Senate if he does not get crazy ideas like 112, disbanding the senate, making a new constitution, war mongering against Myanmar etc the Senate would be happy to vote for him. If he get removed the Senate will be happy to vote for a moderate person from PTP. Which will proof that it is not rigged.

Wake up and come to the real world of Thailand, where the rules and laws are written by the illegal coup governments that steal the entire country at the point of a gun and get away unpunished.

 

Each time they tear up the constitution and rewrite a new one in their favour and the laws that they write are ONLY applied to those who oppose them.

 

They even jail teenage children for standing up for what the children believe in under the infamous S112 law where the accuser only has to complain and not prove anything.

The elites care naught about change for the betterment of the masses, or even the nation as a whole.

 

They've got it all sewn up and see no need to share anything, ever. 

Uncertainty is the biggest enemy of investment. Thailand needs to stop all this nonsense and commit to a stable  political system. How can international businesses  make capital investments when they don't know what the environment will be is a year or two?

Thailand’s moment of truth: Pita’s struggle for new regime continues

Move Forward pressured to scrap proposed royal reforms as it seeks to govern

IMO, the Powers that Be will NEVER allow Pita to form a government/assume the PM role UNLESS he swears an oath to NOT pursue any reforms, and promises to stick to Prayuth's 20 year plan.

 

Prayuth is flexing today. And if the dirt/law attacks don't work he will be proclaiming that "There will not be a coup" soon.

 

 

 

 

 

They can still back off the reforms themselves, but 112 as it stands is just a legal Gordian knot and it's clearly misused and weaponised. 

 

The only institution that should be empowered to invoke 112 should be the Palace themselves, and even then, it should not be years and years of jail for a comment or cartoon.

 

This sort of absurdity is more akin to the uptight Middle East than laid back Thailand.

 

 

Some might question the quite accepted role the government has in directly creating jobs and investment [in this particular instance]. I come from the school that govt, per se, shouldn't have have any sort direct over lording or say so in the said suspicious creation of jobs, investments, etc. Government intervention tends to muck most everything - not always.....but a better chance that government requires a hand in every circle of endeavour.

 

What their purpose might be is to create overriding and balanced policies that encourage the markets to flourish naturally and grow accordingly without the false premise of govt interplay. 

 

Of course, in this case [and many other similar instance the world over] the bottom line for such economic projections has little to do with the benefit of the commons, but more to do with the success of those elite classes.

Thanks for the breaking news. The pressure by the people has paid off. This is a significant first step towards a civilian government after a decade of military junta faux democratic rule. With this batch of certified MPs, the pro democratic coalition parties will form the Parliament majority. All the rumour of PTP snitching out of the coalition and join the junta are baseless. 

It's not over till the fat general falls.

Perhaps this draconian era in ending [slightly]. 

Fingers crossed.

Indeed. 

That can be arranged.
