Popular Post webfact Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 AS PHEU Thai Party continues to forge a coalition government, Democrat Party Secretary-General Chalermchai Sri-on was asked to fly to Hong Kong to hold talks with the party’s de facto leader Thaksin Shinawatra but he sent a representative with no conclusion reached yet, Manager Online and Naewna newspaper said yesterday (July 28). Instead of personally going to Hong Kong to meet Thaksin, Chalermchai sent Mr. Det-It Khawthong, an MP for Songkhla and acting head of the party in the South, to do so. However it was reported that negotiations failed because this group commands 16 Democrat MPs not all 25 because former party leaders Chuan Leekpai and Aphisit Vejjajiva do not support joining the coalition government Pheu Thai is forming. by TNR Staff Democrat MP Det-It Khawthong, left, and de facto Pheu Thai boss/former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, right.

It will still be an uphill battle to reach positive consensus from both houses. This will show unity among the coalition parties and support for Pita and will help pacify the supporters who feel betrayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, just hope that Pita and his followers stick with it and never back down. They got the major vote, formed a legitimate coalition that should be ratified without all the nonsense being played out by the corrupt idiots only interested in themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailandsgreat Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) In the end Thaksin will have put the farmers on the neoliberal Pita train.

herfiehandbag Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I suppose that if you are going to 'stiff" your traditional power base you might as well go for broke! That rather applies to Pheu Thai and the Democrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolong Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Thanatorn's alleged trip to HK to deal aside, it strikes me that MFP would be well-advised to just stay as far removed from any association with this grotesque power-hustle as possible. Right now their perceived integrity is - imo - their highest-value asset, in the bank and earning interest as long as they avoid being tempted to make bad choices for the sake of guarantee-free promises & negotiations made by other parties in very questionably good faìth. Let The Jurassic Ones rule again for a while longer in their old domain, until they sink into the tar-pits of Thai history. (Pleased to read today that some formerly prominent red shirt players are very much against Thaksin doing deals with the likes of Prayuths's & Prawit's parties. Though, so what? Thaksin's too giddily intoxicated in his own mind by his own apparent influence & power to call the shots, at least one shot is gonna badly misfire down the line, right into his foot. As it should.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when can losers of an election make demands about which portfolios they should get? Since the invention of politics. When there is no straight majority (which is what happened here, in case you missed that part), parties form coalitions. Members of a coalition do not do it for sport, but in order to get some reward which is often in the form of a ministery. This is true everywhere in the world.
