The Move Forward party has asked Thai Liberal leader Sereepisuth Temiyavet to contact the Chartthaipattana party, to convince its MPs to vote in favour of its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, as the next prime minister.

 

Move Forward also offered Chartthaipattana a part in the coalition government, said Varawut Silpa-archa, Chartthaipattana’s leader, today (Monday).

 

Sereepisuth contacted Varawut on Sunday, claiming Move Forward asked him to act on its behalf, Varawut said. Sereepisuth was informed that Varawut could not decide on his own concerning the change of votes. “I have to consult the party’s administration and will call him back,” Varawut said.

I think in a way the actions of the junta and their stooges are beginning to play into MF/PT hands

 

The complete and utter hypocrisy is there for all to see. The behaviour of the senators and others in the ruling establishment is being seen by people who possibly where not too bothered before

 

They are being seen as petty entitled not very bright individuals. There use of defamation against the #senator groups is predictable but again it shows their weakness

 

The fact they are crying over students using sweary words is telling

 

The fact they are rolling out the serial whinger again is telling

 

The fact people can see a large number of senators never bothered to turn up is telling 

 

The fact most of the senators never bothered to vote is telling

 

In summary it is all telling and I reckon people are losing patience and they want change this time....

Given the record voter turnout during the election and an utter collapse in support for them, their faction and their confederates in that election, they should be seen and understood for what they are .........cornered rats.

 

See them, understand them..........know what to expect from them.

Sickening to have 250 unelected people having the ultimate choice who governs the country.

 

It buggers belief.

 

It's a WTF moment in Thai democracy. 

What difference Charthaipattana gonne make, they won 1 seat in the latest election'

 

They have 10 MP's in parliament, but I think the main reason is that they are in bed with Anutin

Getting all the small potatoes to vote for him is a good move then if a few senators join in even better.
