Sanook reported that Chuwit Kamolvisit, a veteran Thai politician, released a contentious analysis on his Facebook page.

 

He highlighted the power struggle in the formation of the government and the imminent prime minister elections.

 

The Constitutional Court is now deliberating an Election Commission plea to investigate Pita, alongside a massive campaign for Section 112 amendment, with the controversial ITV shares case on hold.

 

Chuwit suggested a plot to overthrow Pita as Prime Minister. He alleged the Election Commission was hastily pushing media share issues to the court, attempting to suspend MPs from their duties. The move, he claimed, was part of a secret deal.

 

Meanwhile, the Court is considering a petition to amend Section 112 by the Progressive Party, potentially leading to dissolution. Chuwit warned against such a secret deal, yet, his caution was ignored.

 

Despite Anon's effort to mobilize protests, Chuwit advises patience, arguing that street protests aren't the solution to democratic issues.

 

He concluded by saying the Progressive Party's move isn't about dignity but a strategic play. He warns against falling for his analysis, reminding readers of his long experience in politics.

200 degrees .......that's why they call me mister fahrenheit

He is certainly stating the bleeding obvious..... 

Get your pea back in your recently silent whistle and name some names otherwise your just stating the blindingly obvious ???? 

The headline is somewhat misleading, there's nothing "covert" about it. Decidedly overt!

 

No matter what, but he is right... From the beginning it was clear that Pita never be accepted as PM..And all under the so called democratic system, which was overthrown by coups and now the people have spoken they can't accept the results and do another coup again, first trying with this nonsense and if that fail there will be unrest and there will be a military coup again.. Very democratic  For those who don't know the word:

Democracy means rule by the people. There are different ways this can be done: People meet to decide about new laws, and changes to existing ones. This is usually called direct democracy.

To a degree and easily predictable perhaps. But what is not exactly overt is what deal has been done/is being done in the background. Does it involve Pheu Thai? Could there still be a majority government that doesn't include Move Forward? Maybe Pheu Thai are waiting to see the strength of public reaction before deciding on their next moves. Still plenty that is not clear. 

Why have elections? Joke.

If you want to know who is included in the deal, just look at the picture which was taken at the UK football game about a month ago, and add to that the one who fell asleep in the taxi to the airport

So what's his left hand doing?

The men in the white coats need to visit this guy...

No wonder the army steps in all the time and runs the place.

Not that I condone or promote junta rule.

 

My point is that the nations politicians and elite are so driven by greed and power that they deny the People safe decent humane government because of their petty myopic agenda's (and I'm not say that Pita is an angel or saint either).

Maybe they should try and get someone more like our UK prime minister, who is a man of little funds and wealth and therefore is better for the people .......................no, wait...........

(and I write that as a right leaning person !)

Yep. He nailed it.

Chuwit is wrong. They found an easier way! No need to overthrow Pita as PM if he doesn't even get elected...

If you read and apply a bit of comprehension, I would think the meaning was overthrow (read - vote against) the quest to be PM.
