webfact Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 MOVE FORWARD LEADER Chaithawat Tulathon said today (Feb.15) Thailand might probably be run simultaneously by two prime ministers after de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict Thaksin Shinawatra has been released on parole. Apart from Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin legally tasked with the running of the country, the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict might practically do the same, albeit in surreptitious, behind-the-scenes fashion, now that the “sickly” former prime minister has been granted parole and is expected to return home from Police Hospital on the upcoming Sunday, said the Move Forward leader, who concurrently performs as opposition leader at parliament. “There might probably be two prime ministers at the same time. (Thaksin) might suddenly look healthy and kicking after release on parole and go places to visit the people throughout the country,” Chaithawat said.

Red Forever Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 In August the posts on here with regard to Mr T's homecoming were witty, some were cleverly constructed, many were factually incorrect yet nonetheless comical. Now the number of posters is reduced to a rump of humourless haters posting banal, repetitive drivel. Welcome home Mr T. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Well it will be three really - Srettha, who was sort of elected, the "behind the scenes" cabal from the military and Thaksin. Edited February 16 by herfiehandbag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukKrueng Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 This reporter is very naive if he thinks there are going to be 2 prime ministers after his release. There's only 1 now (Taksin) and he's going to continue ruling as he has been doing throughout the tenoir of all governments formed by his parties since 2001. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Not two PMs - just one. Thaksin will call the shots. Srettha will either step aside completely to make way for Ung Ing who will let her father decide everything, or will just continue racking up air miles to sell land bridges and stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please educate yourself, Thaksin has been convicted by a military junta, the very same people who deposed him, trampling the will of the Thai people under.

Srikcir Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There are two possible places for Thaksin in the Thavison government without chzllenging or replacing PM Thavisin: assignment to the Office of the PM and Deputy PM. Either keeps Thaskin in mainstream Thai politics without being elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaksin ' s other sister , a very ambitious woman, and her husband. ,the ex PM could join the fray.Add the 3 kids, and we got 8. Change the name from Thailand to Shinawaland .I Land of the free just doesn't sound right anyway. Make the Red Bull lad ,with his rich traveling experience, the foreign secretary. Only the best, that's what Mr T promised when he first ran in national elections. He certainly delivered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
