Correct, and they should be in Government now, but guess what - they don't have tanks and soldiers as back up- nothing to do with their leader owning shares in a defunct company, as has recently, (but purposely too late!) been proved! The last "democratic Government" was obviously acquired illegally by the Army, and this one is not so obviously run by the Army, and they are not going to relinquish power easily. As has been proved already, they will even change the law to suit their own agenda. Why don't they change the numbers of their Senators from 194 to 250 - or even 500, and be done with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treason Felony Act of 1848 makes it an offence to advocate for the abolition of the monarchy. Such advocation is punishable by up to life imprisonment under the Act. Though still in the statute book, the law is no longer enforced. (no such law exists in the UK) such law still on the books u need to fact check before posting Edited March 13 by MikeandDow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T who I personally do not like was the elected PM by the people and as was his sister. A coup is the highest form of treason and the leaders of said coups should be punished accordingly to their crimes. T. Has done far less than those you seem to support. Billionaire generals ammassing fortunes on very basic pay from a system the promotes on "purchase power" in which scum and most currupt always rises to the surface. You seem to have forgotten the jack boot at the neck of Thailand imprisoning every threat from people travelling on a train to the eating of sandwiches and never forget the brave nurse who witnessed unarmed murders..... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way true change can happen here is to oust the military from power otherwise the generals and the top elite and those above will continue to dictate over the citizens of Thailand. Sadly the generals will not go quietly. Far from it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the so called Western democracies the people are merely subjects who get token elections again and again by parties whose leaders all are alumni of the same cadre factories e.g. in Davos, and voter fraud after the elections is committed by routinely and intentionally breaking campaign pledges after the elections. In Germany nowadays the police raids the homes of people who criticise politicians, for example for asking if the minister of economy is able to count from 1 to 3, that's the new German form of lese majesty. And the cartell of old parties plans to abolish the biggest real opposition party, while critical voices are silenced by the DSA (Digital Services Act of von der Leyens corrupt EU). That's now the new guided "democracy" in Germany. And Germany is just one example from the West. Is that all really better than Thailand? I am all for democracy. But during the last four years in the West I learned that real democracy exists nowhere on this planet. Thailand is not so different to the West. "I am all for democracy. But during the last four years in the West I learned that real democracy exists nowhere on this planet." But it does in many places 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
