BMA prepares for Pita’s “Judgement Day” on Thursday

[snoop1130]

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has set aside a space next to the parliament building to accommodate supporters of Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat, who are expected to show up in droves to offer moral support when the House and the Senate meet on Thursday to select Thailand’s next prime minister.

 

The space, where the BMA’s Kiak Kai administrative centre is located, is capable of accommodating up to 10,000 people. It will be equipped with tents and mobile toilets, provided by the city’s administration.

 

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said today (Monday) that city officials are drafting an edict to open the space to be used for public expression, in line with the democratic system.

(1/2) A source from the junta-appointed Senate's committee on political development said on Monday no more than ten senators will support Move Forward Party PM candidate Pita Limjaroenrat as PM on Thursday during the bicameral vote.

(2/2) The source added some senators will oppose the re-voting for Pita on July 19 if he failed the first vote and will cite Parliament regulation number 41 which stated that a re-vote should be done only when there's a reason to believe the outcome would be different.

Sounds better than thousands of police and army in riot gear.

Naive of me I know, but surely wasn't "judgement day" a couple of months ago (!) when the people voted on the matter.

 

MFP won more seats and more votes than any other party. That was known within hours. A coalition was put in place within days.

 

Here we are, two months down the line. The defeated government is still in place, still shows no sign of relinquishing power, and we are still waiting for the Electoral Commission to proceed with or dismiss the ridiculous attempts to rule Pita ineligible.

 

It is absolutely clear that the regime has no intention of honouring the election votes.

 

They have the Senate block.

 

They have the EC and court referrals.

 

They will manufacture a state of emergency pending fresh elections "in due course".

 

They are staying put.

EC certified the elections rather fast. that the parliament met very fast, and now we are in the building of a coalition. So there is no delay. If Pita can build a coalition he can be PM in 2 days. If he can't it may need 2 more weeks till PTP can build a government

They have had a coalition since the 16th of May.

 

The delay is due to determined attempts to break it.

 

PTP have, to their credit, largely stood by it.

 

If they had said after the first couple of days"actually we will go into coalition with XYZ, leaving MFP outside, then all would have been sorted within a week, with the unelected Senate's blessing., MFP would by now have been emasculated just as Future Forward was, leaving vast chunks of the electorate without a voice.

 

And I will hazard a guess that you would have acclaimed it as a great victory for democracy!

h90 is fond of saying in his country ( Austria) governments are often composed of coalitions from parties that came second, third, fourth. So it's no surprise the party that won the most seats cannot form a government.

However, as far as I know, Austria doesn't have 250 senators, all personally appointed by the previous PM / government, able to vote in the selection of the following PM.

They don't have any coalition so far.

EC worked fast.

If MFP get dissolved the only right thing to do would be to have new elections. Just continue and ignoring that is not democratic....On the other hand democracy wouldn't be the most important thing for me. Stability is.

No I did not say that. It was once.

But I often said that the Senator appointment is a bad thing. But still they can't get an PM appointed that is undemocratic/has not the majority of MPs behind him. (And I'll apologize if reality proofs me wrong in a few weeks)

Definitely I am not on the sample planet as you. You have your own....

You have a coalition when it is voted for......there was no vote yet. We don't know if the coalition partner will vote as they say. Till now it is just verbal agreed between the bosses, but as every MP can vote independent you have a coalition after it is voted for....not before.

a MOU has no legal relevance. What can you do with it? Nothing.

"Memorandum of understanding" if you don't know the meaning...signing a paper that we understand to have a plan....nothing more than an immature gesture.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a document that describes the broad outlines of an agreement that two or more parties have reached. The primary difference between the two is that a letter of intent is not binding, whereas a memorandum of understanding is considered binding and carries weight in a court of law.

there was a VOTE by the coalition to accept this   you need to go back to school

yeah sure...good luck with the MOU at court....it is useless paper to give it more credit.....as soon as it was signed Thaksin started to undermine it.

The could have made coalition contract with details. They did not.
PTP has already said if Pita doesn't get it in the first vote they drop him....I guess that is not in the MOU.
I guess the speaker PTP friendly speaker wasn't in the MOU as well...

It is nothing.

They have a coalition after the vote in parliament. Soon we'll know so anyway a waste of time to speculate....

btw. silence from the Dems...or did I miss something?

However they were at the front when it came to enthusiastically welcoming a "putsch" back in 1938!
