We have the benefit of hindsight. Up to the very last minute to put up Sretha as joint house election, Prawit was very much in the fight for nomination. If Prawit was nominated, it will be an easy passage to be Prime Minister with 188 votes from MPs outside the coalition and most of the 250 senators. Thaksin will have a much more easier path to return if Prawit is the Prime Minister. Sretha was a gamble and involved lots of lobbying and probably intervention from higher up. He was an unknown and political novice. If he failed in the joint house election, he dont get a second chance and we will likely get Prawit.

 

PTP nominate Sretha and not Paetongtarn and was a right decision. He has no political baggages while the same can't be said of Paetongtarn. Sretha will be PM for the full term and there will be no coup. He has been busy since taking office and the people has voiced their approval on his performance. PTP will likely to nominate him again for a second term. Replacing Sretha when he is doing well with Paetongtarn is fool hardy and will initiate a vote of no confidence. Thaksin is pragmatic and in his twilight years and will retire to family life. No doubt his advise will be seek but he will not participate in politic actively. 

Yes they could have pushed Prayut Prawit or Anutin.  The Senate has that ability however in the general assembly a vote of nonconfidence against the government, and PM is only voted on in the assembly the Senate has no power over that vote.

 

So yes Prawit could have been put in as PM.  Then the first time he tries to pass anything in the house the MFP and PTP vote no confidence and defeat a budgetary bill and it's all over and back to the election trail.

As Prime Minister he is literally a puppet by definition.

 

One wrong word and the delicate and fragile coalition will split which will result in the puppet masters (the parties) kicking his ass out - he will find out.

 

This guy seems to be on a crusade, first with has deluded tax reforms, knee jerk banning of all firearms via Anutin.

 

He won't be PM for long. I'll give him a few more months at most - whenever Taksin gets out of hospital prison - that's when he will hear the clock ticking, it's already ticking now of course but he just doesn't realise it.

You are a puppet. No doubt. Controlled by the army, and other powers. No point in protesting. We all know what's going on and there's no logic to your denials, they are only that. Simple denials trying to obfuscate the truth which will be believed by only the most naive. 

Only way to win power. They sorted Pita out quick smart.

 

Thats the game.
