Srettha Tipped To Run Country At Least Throughout This Year: NIDA Poll

[webfact]

 

PRIME MINISTER SRETTHA Thavisin is believed to be able to run the country throughout this year, regardless of following years to say the least, according to a NIDA Poll released today (Jan.7).

 

The NIDA Poll, conducted last month among a total of 1,310 people from all walks of life in all regions of the country, has found 39% of the respondents say Srettha will perform smoothly throughout this year whilst 20% say he will reshuffle his cabinet of ministers at any given time during this year.

 

Nevertheless, 10% of the respondents say the prime minister will dissolve the House of Representatives and call a general election some time within this year whilst 8% say he will resign under pressure and be replaced by somebody else.

 

The recent poll has found 7% of the respondents say Srettha will be replaced as head of a Pheu Thai-led coalition government by Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

Or until the "Clan" is fully assembled once again.

Some people need to have the obvious spelt out to them in black and white

Even money that he lasts through 2024.

 

He's just a puppet, and puppets can be changed out while the hand remains the same.

The National Institute of Development Administration was  formerly a "government agency" that has evolved to become affiliation of the Ministry of Higher Education.

What some might consider still a "government agency."

it seems to rely on very small survey samples, ie., typically less than 2,000 polled and doesn't detail how such sample criteria was decided. 

That said, relevant to the subject recent poll NIDA seems perplexing considering its previous poll taken in August 2023 on a survey on "Pheu Thai Party's troubles" from 1,310 sample units. People aged 18 years and over, distributed "everywhere," including level of education, occupation and income.

Again no specifics in the resulting sample to which can establish a degree of error. In fact from my reading many of NIDA surveys over a 10 year period, no degree of error is ever mentioned. 

In its findings (rounded):

• 40% never voted for PTP, Thai Rak Thai Party, or People's Power Party
• 39% indicated from the PTP Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra as a suitable person to be PM, followed by 36% for Mr. Srettha, 8% for Mr. Chakasem Nitisiri with 16% didn't know/didn't answer/not interested.

why does SRETTHA always look like he is unhinged

 

let's get the constitution changed - particular interest is the involvement of senate in PM selection, it should be the people only that select PM - and they did and it wasn't SRETTHA

If it looks like a clown and walks like a clown
