Pheu Thai and Democrat Parties Join Forces in New Thai Government


Recommended Posts

Another nail in  PT's coffin.

 

Everyone knows that the next election will be won by a landslide if any kind of Peoples Party incarnation can survive that long.

 

Nobody is fooled by the bias of the Constitutional Court. Another dissolution of the party that is the peoples choice might be riskier than the last two.

PT positioning itself in the Centre. Pushing out PPRP at the same time.

 

Makes sense from PT's point of view. Getting itself nicely placed to face PP in the next round.

Not much conviction in their beliefs going around among Thai politicians. 

Nose and trough are the words that come to mind.

Just happy to hear Prawit the toad has been kicked out!  Now the PY party has to prove it can help the lives of the average person , if not the PP party will win by a huge landslide next election!!

Not sure getting on a ship that will sink at the next election or be sunk by the military before the next election is such a good move.

Better late than never 

PT has kept its election promise of not working with the 2 Dinos

This move should appease a lot of their supporters . 

Complete rubbish. They are only they are only "in power" because they broke their election promise and jumped into bed with the enemy. No "Better late than never" about it. This treachery will not go unpunished.

PT knows that unless there is another coup, it will be them versus PP at the next election.

Without Pita the PP will not be the same force IMO - he was their main 'drawcard'.

The Thai People voted out the Junta, more than they voted in MFP.

MFP should have compromised and accepted an alternative leader - but they foolishly/immaturely demanded Pita.

PT will now be shoring up their base and their alliances - and they will call an election when the time is right.

Mmm, you may be right. Certainly keeping on about the little lèse majesté problem (despite many warning signs) was a bit juvenile.

 

As to the next round, we shall see. Too early to know whether the Pita-excitement can be maintained.

Thanks. I find the politics of Thailand to be both entertaining and immature. When I have read up on the beginnings of Democracy in Aust, UK and USA it was the same there. Lots of corruption, nepotism and loose alliances easily formed and broken. The sooner Thailand evolves to a two-party system the better off the country will be - meaning a Progressive Party (but not woke, socialist, or 'minority rights' driven) and a Conservative Party (but not military, monarchy, or the elite/wealthy driven). Far too much to ask for I know - but there is always hope. 

I recall 'telling the TV' to stop protesting against the Monarchy and only target the real enemy - The Junta. Whatever happens regarding lèse majesté should have been left alone until they were in power and the Senate had changed and then the Constitution and Courts. Now I think they have lost their second and best chance - total immature naive idiots.

Waiting to hear what Abhisit's take is on this. 

 

I'd be more worried about what "Tor's" (General Charoenchai Hinthao) take is on this.

Annual armed forces reshuffle list was unveiled yesterday. See who is slated to be his replacement and you will know there is no imminent coup
