The meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, July 28, will be delayed until further notice.

Hopefully , until the current crop of senators reach the end of their tenure next year. Then take a vote for PM without their blocking interference.

Once the junta appointed Senate is dissolved in May 2024, the opposition representing a majority in the house takes charge.

I hear this often, but nobody explains what happens when senate is dissolved, can the people currently ruling just appoint another bunch of cronies or not?

If they can, then it makes a mockery of the word "Democracy", but there again - TIT!

The answer to your question see below. The Junta would have to somehow amend the Constitution to reinstate the Senate's voting power to elect a PM.

The very reason that the Junta will have to be in power this time so they can reinstate the Senators so their hold on politics continues. Surely the coalition of MFP and Co know this.

Hmmm and i wonder what happens while this vote is postponed indefinitely…. The general and the guy who gave the senators there jobs will remain in charge…..

They can certainly try to re-instate them.

 

That will be interesting.

 

It will make good "news"........and read very well in the history

books.

 

I'm sure "MFP and Co" know that.

What a farce! 

These so called leaders of "Even more wonderful Thailand"  couldn't even pick their own noses, or a "p**s up" in a brewery!!!

 

 

They are not bothered. They own the (only two) breweries.

 

This game presents them with just what they want. The selection of a prime minister and government resulting from the General Election they lost over two months ago postponed indefinitely, any movement in the hands of the court which they control.

 

Laughing all the way to their ( overseas) banks!

The MF party was not wise enough to leave article 112 alone until they were firmly in power.

  One would think that an educated bunch of people would just focus on getting themselves elected

and approved by all the powerful people of Thailand, then maybe get a few things changed. Sadly

the younger Thais do not have patience these days. IMO

How much patience should they need? Throughout the first twenty years of this century elected governments have been repeatedly removed, and elections denied, by these "powerful people".

 

Two months (more) ago some 66% of the electorate emphatically rejected the rule of the " powerful people" and here we are, they are again frustrating the election.

Been in Thailand long?

The "younger" Thais know the game these days thanks mainly to the 'net etc.

They understand that tomorrow they could be looking at the wrong end of a army gun through no fault of their own.

They will never be "approved" by the powerful people of Thailand. Too much of a threat to the established envelope passers.????????

It is not about 112! Read bewteen the lines. This is what they want you to believe. 

 

It's all about MFP's 3D's. Thats what they are afraid of along with MFP's frightening poularity.
