[snoop1130]

 

The opposition Move Forward party has decided to expel a former electoral candidate over alleged sexual harassment and a city councillor has been penalised for alleged involvement in a public brawl and violence, according to party spokesman Parit Wacharasindhu.

 

He told the media today (Thursday) that the party’s executive committee found that Kriangkrai Chankokpoeng, a former electoral candidate, had committed an act of sexual harassment as alleged and decided to sack him from the party, with immediate effect, because his conduct is against the party’s regulations. He added that the party has already apologised to the victim.

 

In the second case, Parit said Sirin Sanguansin, one of the party’s city councillors, was found to have been involved in a public brawl and violence, which is against the party’s regulations.

Plenty of home-grown louts he could rub shoulders with.

I listen that in Europe ( and the US ? ) , when somebody accidentally touches a woman's ( big ) butt in a crowded bus , she can file a ' sexual harassment " case already ...?

It seems that the Move Forward party had more miscreants thsn others...

I am liking this getting rid of disgusting people that MF are seeming to do. I do hope it continues so that when the next election rolls around then they will have a line up of 'clean' moral candidates in marked contrast to the filth in the other parties. This refusal of senators of all parties (except MF of course) to allow to the police to question one of their own is deplorable.

The party finds the case proven... What about due process as the Americans like to call it, innocent until found guilty by a jury of his peers? Even in a civil court, on the balance of probabilities etc...

At least MFP kicks out those who break the rules.

 

There are other parties with convicted murders and drug dealers within their ranks (including the cabinet)
