I believe next May is when the senates tenure is expiring..
We will see what happens before that comes if any shenanigans are at play.

After May they lose the right to select the PM but they remain until replaced.

Some one up on the law can stipulate what happens if a bill is introduced replacing the senators with elected ones. Can the existing senators vote post May to deny that?

Well, the new puppets in the armed forces and the police are set by the outgoing experts - the chessboard is ready for the next coup - me thinks!

Hopefully the Thai voters remember this until the next election.

The Provisional Charted state that “ upon expiration of the term of the Senate, the proceedings for the selection of new senators shall be taken and the senators under the Transitory provision shall remain in office to perform duties until there are new senators”. 
 

Considering the length of time to debate charter amendments in both houses and should the amendments passed, it will still take considerable time to re-draft the amendment and hold election for the senators. The appointed senators will be around for longer than we want them to be unfortunately.

But PT couldn't wait because:

1 Its owner wants to come home

2. PT want to be in power, never mind who with and to hell with their promises to voters..

It's illegal to intentionally deceive voters in Thailand..

If someone can prove PT had every intention of teaming up with the junta uncles before the election, they should be dissolved.

Yeah sickening isn't it. I'd like to think PT are finished in any future election after this absolute betrayal of their electorate. Judging by the reaction of most of wifeys friends who supported a MF/PT coalition that outcome is a distinct possibility.

Why the low numbers?....Because everyone knows the new boss is the same as the old boss....

 

So the Pheu Thai party’ is really only a shadow of what it was in the old days.....

 

 

Nup. It's because they are now seen as traitors. Simple as. They jumped into bed with their enemies and will pay the price.

Good.  Glad to see their popularity drop like a stone.

10.65%for Pheu Thai, 7.52% for Palang Pracharath, 7.14% for United Thai Nation and 4.50% for the Democrat party.

At this point, the two uncles parties are more popular than PTP. Quite an achievement for a newly elected PM and his party.

PT will pay the price if the election is held today or even tomorrow.

.....and this cycled stratagem has been ongoing for decades.

The old adage holds true: the more things change the more they stay the same. 

 

With or without the rhetorically-based analysis and reasoning. 

Trickery is too easy. 

[connda]

Cut internet access to Facebook and watch it plummet by another 50% or so.

Thaksin is back! 
He will work this magic make Thailand great again and restore PT’s popularity 

[Adumbration]

Opposition is the the best place for MFP to be right now.

 

Next election will be a landslide victory.  PT sold out on their mandate and they have lost it forever.

 

Over the coming months expect all effort being focused upon disbanding MFP....it is the only hope any other party has.

[Thingamabob]

The current 'senators' should be out of office when their tenure expires next May. However, it remains to be seen if that actually happens...

[bannork]

Right on Professor

Really? You think? I'd bet my last dollar both UTN and PPR will demand the senates ternure is extended for another XX number of years, or they may remove their support of PT in this coalition- Without the senate there is no back stop from preventing MFP having there own PM and amending 112 in any future elections. I suspect the sentators are here to stay. 

They may well replace individuals, after all with 1700 Generals, Admirals and Air Force whatevers, plus all the top Rozzers in Central Casting, it can't be too difficult to find 250 suitable candidates retiring every 5 years! What to look out for is a renewal ( or perhaps even an extension) of the Senate's powers - that is probably factored in to whatever deal they cooked up with Pheu Thai to get Thaksin back.

If you keep kicking someone in the head, but they don't die, eventually they will retaliate, jump up and rip your head off. This is where the country is headed.

We are moving into 'Whac-A-Mole" times. They will keep trying to destroy MFP and its reincarnations, but new ones will continue to pop up and the old git parties are running out of voters to back them. I'd estimate that less than 25% of the population genuinely support this government coalition.
