Beside the value thing, which I agree. He wants a radical anti Myanmar, anti Cambodia and anti China politics....China is not only the biggest trading partner, but also the biggest source of tourism. On top of that, double the minimum salary, higher taxes and higher energy costs.

That would complete kill the industry.

" and anti China politics "..... something the entire world should do !

MFP received 38% of the votes.

62% of the people, wanted a different party.

 

Then next two, more experienced party members received a total of more votes:

So......  72 % wanted a different party to Pheu Thai and 89% a different party to UTN .

FAIL,

Quite simple really. If you're not sure, either check it out beforehand in the forum rules, or put the link in and see if the moderators take it out. They will explain why. But telling me to Google it is a troll. I think you're the third contributor to this thread that has failed to produce any links to claims they have made regarding MFP et al, and told me to go and find the links that they can't. I will start to report any more I see as unsubstantiated.

Do what you want to do, call me names if you like, but I'm not going to break the rules for you. 

Bye, and have a nice day.

1/2) BREAKING: Pheu Thai PM candidate Srettha Thavisin says Mon he's ready to be nominated to become PM but it will depend on party's executive committe. Sretta told reporters it's necessary to form a new gov't soon in order to address the economic & people's livelihood issues.

 

(2/2) When asked if Pheu Thai will seek a different coalition without Move Forward Party or not, Srettha said it's too premature to discuss the matter.

I think he's favoured amongst the business community. Very little info on him. Yes, too early to discuss as everything now in the hands of the CC.

Obviously he can’t get elected while the scoundrels in the junta appointed senate still get to vote. But the question is does MFP really want to remain in a coalition that will be constantly manipulated by Thaksin, if Sretha gets elected as a seat warmer for the airhead Thaksin daughter. They have already ceded the speaker job to make way for a notably corrupt former Thaksin flunky posing as an independent in order to get a chance of the premiership.

 

They will not be able to get  any of their major reform pledges done and will be tainted with PT corruption scandals. Far better to slip gracefully into the opposition and let Thaksin alienate his red shirt supporters by teaming up with his old pal Gen Watchman.

At least the airhead Thaksin daughter has a proper university education, not like the last unelected PM with his Military Academy so called one.

Run all the #s you want, point is, w/38%, pita was never going to be PM.  He'll be lucky if he keeps his MP position.

Along with his 38%, he had the 28.86% PT vote to add, plus the other 6 parties in the coalition. The BumjaiRat party - well, no point in looking there; and as for the DemoRats, they should be sued under the Trades Descriptions Act, if there was such a thing here.

 

The elephant in the room, I mean in the kitchen, there's another in the sitting room and probably several in the bedrooms, is the Senate. So even 70% is meaningless after Prayuth's dirty tricks. The 2017 Constitution was a mugging of an entire nation.

Pure genius actually ... a coup to end all coups.  They weren't stupid.  Only the people that voted for it.

 

On that, and more #s people seem to like ... referendum for that ...

Pita isn't too bright for a politician.  He should have maintained that the senate will remain intact and no changes will be made, when Pita was on the election trail.  After he secured the PM job, then make the necessary changes.  But, too late.

This reminds me of the naivete of Obama. After the big victory in 2008, he became overconfident and complacent and soon after lost his 60 member supermajority in the US Senate.

My party of choice is chaos in government building and no functional government as long as possible....No government is the best government.

First term of Thaksin was good, first "term" of Prayut was good....Both second terms were very bad.

Abhisit was very bad and just a puppet. Yingluck was very bad....Anutin during Covid was very bad..

So non of them....

Most of the world is vested in CH ... it would be detrimental to themselves.  Why nobody wants to piss them off, including Thailand, as one of the deepest rooted with CH.

 

Besides, as pointed out, CH helps the world, not attacks.

If you do a bit of research, this guy is just an American/Big State puppet.

Im not saying change isn’t needed, but I would rather the devil we know that keeps Thailand Thai than a puppet that works to erode Thai culture to replace it with western ‘values’.

 

I beg to differ!  He comes from entitlement the fact that he was sent abroad to study Harvard doesnt mean he is a American puppet fat from it. His loyalty first and foremost is to his country reason why he was already part of the swamp as a MP, there are hundred of Chinese Communist elites their kids sent to study in U.S. colleges then return to their country to be part of the system. Their former economics leader even the PM prior to Yickluck I believe was educated in the U. S

but was as bad as the rest. He knew exactly was he was doing thus the coalition. 

Here he got his white boyscout Uni for a reason there aren't such a thing Rags to riches in This country nothing he will able to bring whatever western learning influence if he did become PM,  otherwise many on this board would be ten times better than any Thai will ever be sadly. 

Not in my lifetime but a leader who can force all the changes will come from the lowest class mountain north produce sell their soles for the necessary military arms and army to do it by force.

And if successful first thing in order is how to manage all those IOU's,  Who got him there. ????

Abhisit Vejjajiva. Born in Newcastle, UK. Eton and Oxford educated, mate of Cameron and Johnson. 27th PM of Thailand. Chinese heritage. Has dual UK/Thai nationality. The CC could have disbarred him from holding office, but he had more clout than Thanatorn and Pita, so held on. But was a total disaster despite all his advantages. Took the Democrat party virtually out of Thai politics to where it is now. Spineless, gutless, pointless. With their support, Pita would be almost over the line.

Abhisit is one of the WEF young leaders.....he was never independent....

A political activist asked the House speaker on Monday not to allow the re-nomination of Pita Limjaroenrat for the premiership on Wednesday.

Where in what you've posted here did you say that? And in any case, you get no cigar as

 

1 it was obvious to all that this was always on the cards, and

 

2 you've ruled yourself out of any sensible comment by backing an "all governments are bad, chaos is good" platform.

 

And the "friend" was agreed to by 8 parties. And so far has granted Pita his request to vote on a another doomed amendment, this time to Section 212.
