Legislators leave Thai parliament by boat to avoid protesters

[snoop1130]

 

After the vote on Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat’s re-nomination, several senators and MPs left parliament by boat, from the rear of the compound, to avoid protesters who are gathered at the front.

 

Supporters of the Move Forward party have been gathering in front of parliament since this morning (Wednesday) and many of them are still there, after the parliamentary sitting has ended.

 

The Royal Thai Navy, the marine police and the Marine Department have provided boats at a pier on the Chao Phraya River to ferry the senators and MPs away.

Given the safety record of the Thai navy, this could be a blessing in disguise.

Appears that they don’t enjoy meeting real voters.

Perhaps they were ordered to do so by the minister of defence (caretaker PM Prayuth).

So they're cowards as well as all the other unsavory characteristics one could reasonably label them with.

 

But then again we already knew all that.
