Popular Post webfact Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 PALANG PRACHARATH LEADER PRAWIT Wongsuwan will likely be named prime minister in rivalry against Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, partisan sources said Friday (June 30). Prawit, the leader of the fourth largest elected party, will likely compete in a sustained effort to rise to power though he may have only 188 MPs on his side, compared to 312 in support of Pita, the leader of the No.1 largest party, as long as senators could potentially play a decisive role toward either side’s victory, the sources said. The military-designed constitution requires a partisan candidate for head of government to secure votes of support from more than half the combined total of MPs and senators or at least 376 votes. All 250 senators were handpicked by the Palang Pracharath leader and de facto Ruam Thai Sang Chart boss Prayut Chan-o-cha following the 2014 coup. By Thai Newsroom Reporters Palang Pracharth leader Prawit Wongsuwan.

A partisan is a committed member of a political party. In multi-party systems, the term is used for persons who strongly support their party's policies and are reluctant to compromise with political opponents. so the vote didn't really matter did it ? it's either our way or no way. democracy at its finest. what a farce. 8 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that will result in a working government. Plus they'd risk civil unrest because the election would have been largely meaningless. Possibly they have done their number crunching, and reckon that with the police and military available to them (remember April's draft intake will have just about finished their training) they can withstand the inevitable protests. Once he is installed as Prime Minister, his government will use the inevitable widespread protests as the excuse for the inevitable state of emergency, and take wide ranging powers to rule bypassing parliament. They desperately need to hang on for a year until they have their new set of senators ( who will probably look remarkably like the old set of senators! It will all hinge on whether they can weather the inevitable storm. I doubt that they can. 5 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will appoint a new Senate. Rinse and repeat. It will (for them) have the great advantage of keeping the appointing of senators and the holding of elections in step. Perhaps a constitutional amendment to introduce a fixed term parliament, so that elections will always take place a safe period after a new Senate is appointed. It would tidy things up a bit!

Popular Post bannork Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 I wouldn't assume he has 188 MPs on his side. A minority government wouldn't survive long before being forced to call an election. Then those MPs who voted for him may fear for their seats. I can't see the Democrats and many Bhumjaithai MPs going along with this. Unless PT changed sides 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted July 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) This man is an absolute bottom of the barrel pick. He does not have one nanogram of leadership ability, there are very few who like him and it would just be a continuation of the oppressive, regressive, backward policies of the past 9 dreadful years. The people have spoken. The army games can continue, but at great peril to the institution, which has already lost any prestige or honor it may have once had. It is now considered a den of thieves, despised by the masses. If there is anywhere Prawit truly belongs, it is either in prison, or in exile. Not in politics.

Well if Pita ever manages to get in that needs to be his no.1 job! Dismantle all that nonsense and make Thailand into a truly democratic country. Sacking of the entire military top brass would be No.2. Making a law that forbids any military coups and those found having started or taking part in one facing the death penalty should be no.3. As if that will ever happen! Pigs have a greater chance of flying! Ahhh well no country is perfect and all democracy’s are terribly flawed especially over time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
