Thaksin. It's the name he uses on social media. Tony Woodsome.

Originally used while in the states while attaining his doctorate. 

Somewhere throughout the years, the name has been synonymous as a parody by him and others.

A lot of the Thai people still like Thaksin Shinawatra and no doubt a deal has been sorted out before / if he returns to Thailand 

He is not coming back to go to jail which a few people on  here would like to see ????

Let the Thai people decide ????

The Thai people did decide.


It was call an election.

 

Failed.

JUST IN: Prawit Wongsuwan resigned as @PPRPofficial

leader in order to trigger a re-election of the executive board at a party meeting this morning. He’s already been asked to stand for party leadership again, as he previously swatted away rumors of his retirement.

 

And unsurprisingly, Prawit has been re-elected @PPRPofficial

leader as well as his right-hand enforcer Thamanat Prompow being re-confirmed as the party’s secretary-general.

His resignation will see many PPRP MPs join PTP. That may tilt the votes for PTP’s nomination for PM. Thaksin is engineering all the moves towards a successful PTP’s coalition government with Sretha as the Prime Minister.

It's from Andrew MacGregor Marshall on Twitter. 

Yes, I know that and also Khaosod but because of the sensitive nature of this tweet, I decided not to post the link.

Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) leader General Prawit Wongsuwan said he resigned this morning to allow for the reshuffling of the party executives before being nominated back to the leadership position.

 

Prawit also appointed Patcharawat Wongsuwon, his younger brother and former police chief, as the chairperson of the party advisory committee.

 

When asked if the PPRP will vote for Pheu Thai's PM candidate Srettha Thavisin for the upcoming PM voting on August 4, he said he does not know yet, and it will be up to the party's mandate.

 

When asked if he had talked to Thaksin Shinawatra before the Former PM announced that he will return to #Thailand on August 10, he said, "I did not meet with anybody.

What is happening? I'm lost. He steps down and is later re-elected.

Not a man of many words, is he. His wiki entry says he only speaks one language, Central Thai.

The appointment of Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan as party adviser is interesting. He was appointed Police Chief by Thaksin and was sacked by Ahbisit for his robust handling of PAD protestors. He then appealed and his sacking was overturned by the court. I think it’s building up to the party working with PTP coalition.

He did go "rogue" in May in Malaysia.

 

Think this is the message/punishment?

Pretty ironic that those who overthrew Thaksin will now apparently acquiesce to his return as he now seems like the lesser of two evils.

 

As for the scenario of Prawit somehow getting into bed with Paetongtarn ...... mucho gross scenario.

 

Any way you look at it , the electorate are going to get peed upon from a great height.

 

Thailand must be one of the few countries where winning popular support from the people in an election more or less guarentees you will not get to govern or have much say in things. In addition , it sends a red flag to the conservatives that here is a party that needs to be suppressed by the courts.

 

 

 

And all the more ironic that, if the U.S. embassy cable leaks can be trusted, the ousting of Thaksin was mainly caused by the establishment's fear of the occurrence of a particular 'ticket'. Someone whose name starts by P must be turning in his grave.

There are a number of well researched and written books and articles regarding this tempestuous era from a number of distinguished [pro and con] circles. 

 

Certainly wouldn't rely on the highly subjective and less than legitimate U.S. mission cable leaks.

I know but there are sources I prefer not to evoked. BTW, do they contradict what I mentioned?
