Thaksin Would Prefer Anutin Over Own Daughter For Next PM: Political Scientist

[webfact]

 

DE FACTO PHEU THAI BOSS-CUM-CONVICT at large Thaksin Shinawatra would prefer to leave the next premiership to Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul rather than give it to his own daughter/Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra so that his party could continue to join ranks with the conservative camps, forecast a noted political scientist yesterday (Jan.15).

 

Given behind-the-scenes rounds of compromise between the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict, who has been questionably staying for secrecy-shrouded “illnesses” at Police Hospital, and conservative parties such as the Palang Pracharath and Ruam Thai Sang Chart, the current leader of the Bhumjaithai under de facto party boss Newin Chidchob could probably be the best choice available to the country’s elite class, said Pornchai Theppanya, a former dean of Ramkhamhaeng University’s Faculty of Political Science.

 

“Given the fact that Thaksin has finally joined ranks with the conservative camps, he would rather avoid clashing with them anymore by otherwise arranging for his daughter to rise to power at any time during the current term of the coalition government,” the now-independent political scientist said.

 

The conservative parties, apparently represented by the Palang Pracharath under leadership of former deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwan and the Ruam Thai Sang Chart under de facto party boss/coup leader-turned-prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, will most certainly not allow the Pheu Thai to head the multi-party, coalition government throughout the current term of the executive branch, he said.

Nuff said.....

[stoner]

my boy anutin still on track folks. 

[ezzra]

If by any chance, the convicted Thaksin will get up to be a PM or a party's leader, that will cement, once and for all the

real agendas and the ways of politically "doing business" in this country...  

[Gottfrid]

Yeah, put that guy at the top, and we will at least not have any worries about any shifts in smoking laws. When a country is as messed up as Thailand, then the least they can do for it´s population, is to give them the freedom to dream away.

[jacko45k]

So now he isn't so terribly sickly and can contribute to political opinion through his oxygen mask?

[BenStark]

I thought political parties were disbanded if there was suspicion they were run by people banned from politics?

[edwinchester]

Cum convict? Hope nothing nasty happened in the showers.

[Guderian]

Poor old Srettha, he's more or less been dumped already, lol.

[coxo]

Maybe the people should decide, not the money end of town...

[Jackbenimble]

He's more easily controlled than his daughter - makes sense to back Anutin.

Thakisin would prefer him because he has no morals and can be bought.

Was always the plan.

Phony election, kick-out MFP, get in PTP and get Thaksin back home followed shortly by sister.

Then take over the reins again.

 

[AussieinThaiJim]

We already have a PM!!!!!

[soalbundy]

Pragmatic to the end. What he is saying is, "dear elites, don't put a spanner in the works for my freedom"

What? No more "selling Thailand by the pound"...to triads and

evil emperors by Thailand's self declared  1st salesman? He must have a cramp from grinning broadly all the time, grit your teeth

for a change, the end of real estate sales is near.....

In other words, the headline is totally misleading and this is nothing but the speculation of one person who hasn't spoken with Thaksin. Got it.

Maybe it's laughing gas, and he thought he'd make a joke about Anutin.

[newbee2022]

So he rows back....for a moment, sniffing that the time for her is not right yet.

🙏

[MrJ2U]

Anutin with under 3% approval ratings and a complete idiot there's no wonder a criminal and snakeoil salesman like Thatskin would endorse him.

 

 

Everyone is aware that this is just another unelected government and what's running the country is now is no better than a mafia.

He his probably referring to his plans for the next election. You need to start early, like they did for his comeback. 

[Mavideol]

what's wrong with this country, what about the Pita guy already forgotten.... Thailand 1 step forward 3 steps backwards

[Hunz Kittisak]

Didn’t a famous man once said 

“Thailand is a land of compromise”

and “  we love them all the same’

[maddox41]

Just what Thailand' doesn't need is Anutin the man that hates dirty farangs and we were spreading covid 😂. 

Good help the expat if he is in power. 

Rise up Thailand and get rid of these 🤡  there is only 600 000 of the elite do the math  

[G Rex]

clickbait speculation

are there facts or quotes to back up this 'noted political scientist'?

[damian]

Pla herring deang.

[crazykopite]

This tells us who is running the show the very sick man holed up in luxury in the police hospital . The good people of Thailand have been well and truly shafted by his unelected party . No doubt the unelected senators have been told they will remain in post after March 2024 when there term in office was meant to end .

[spidermike007]

In other words since we've already compromised 85% we might as well compromise 100%, and give the army everything they want. Which is a shame because virtually everything Anutin does he fails at, he's a terrible leader and he inspires nobody. However, he does follow orders from the army so I guess he's a good choice for Toxic Thaksin, at this point.
