Thai court dismisses PM Srettha over cabinet appointment

[Pouatchee]

BANGKOK, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday dismissed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for appointing to his cabinet a former lawyer who served jail time, raising the spectre of more political upheaval and a reset of the governing alliance.

Real estate tycoon Srettha becomes the fourth Thai premier in 16 years to be removed by verdicts by the same court, after it ruled he violated the constitution by appointing a minister who did not meet ethical standards.

What are the odds this was all on the books from the beginning. Get MFP denied running the government - approve Thaksin's puppet as PM so Thaksin can return, then order him to appoint that convicted criminal, which Thaksin knew it would backfire.
