Make no mistake, I wish him well, but I still don't believe that they will let him become PM. At least not today, I have had some people say he will not become PM because they/him at the top of the ladder, and the proposed ?? changes to the lese majesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you are watching as voting ended at about 1830 with no PM elected. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/timeline-will-it-be-pita/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR3 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I imagine the current confusion; or lack of collaboration if you like; is over a lack of transparency over how whoever is in charge will affect or not the prosperity of a few entitled entities. The rest is smoke and mirrors until clarity is established...if ever. Confusing at best for other observers with any interest. PR3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway cant change that now. How it think (hope) it'll play out is - MF will drop the 112 reforms, this will place enormous pressure on the senate to vote yes. They can always just come back to it in 4 years, if theyve done a good job and built the peoples trust (and the rigged senate gone) they'll be able to float and get thru any reforms they want. MFP can not drop the 112 legislation If they do they might as well dissolve the party. The people that elected them did so primarily on the 112 article. Given a choice of dropping Art 112 legislation or losing the better move in the long run is to lose. Let the people that do take over deal with it and the protests and people.

Popular Post UbonEagle Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 Sorry Kingstonkid but i dont think the 112 reforms were even a major factor in the massive swing at the polls. I think it was a countrywide reaction (particulary youth) to the belligerent face of the old school guard (Prayut/Prawit) thumbing their noses at the working classes (watches, submarines etc), promising the world and delivering little, the woeful state of the economy and the effect that has on poor buggers living on the breadline. I personally would love to see 112 chopped up but if they're smart they'll park it and revive at next election cycle. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
