The folks in North Hollywood don't like the Shinawatra curmudgeon?  That really is interesting.  I wonder what they see though?  🤔

I've been to the Thai section of LA many times.  And visited the big Thai Buddhist temple there, Wat Thai LA.  This is a strange lot, they show their Thainess in almost every aspect, to Farangs, but underneath that Thai veneer is a whole different creature.  I have yet to figure them out.

No Thai PM is elected by the Thai people at all.

 

When an election is held, the party with the most seats gets the chance to form a government. If they have an overwhelming majority, then the form the new government. If they don't have a majority, then they form a coalition government.

 

If however they still cannot get enough seats to form a majority, then after a period of time, the party with the next highest number of seats is offered the same opportunity to form a coalition. If they can get a majority of seats then they become the government.

 

As for who becomes the PM a number of names from the winning parties are submitted by each party executive, (3 I think per party) and one of them is chosen. The public are NOT consulted or vote on who that will be. A person is appointed (usually from the party with the most seats) and then becomes the PM.

 

So she has no experience.  So what?

 

How do you think people gain experience in a job they have never done before?

 

As for your term that she has no skill, that is simply your opinion and not that of the people who appointed her.

 

She is not expected to know everything, which is why PM's and executives everywhere have advisors who are specialists in their own subjects.

What are you on about. Your reasoning get more and more strange by the post.

 

Mike didn´t mean that a PM is directly appointed by the people. What is important here is the follow democracy core stones, and that is to allow the party who the majority voted for to chose a PM and form a government. They failed that from day one.

Over to address other rather ridiculous comment from you.

No experience, so what???? Yeah, that probably means she will be easily programmed by her father and the rest of the 1% ers how wish to remain in control of company Thailand. Of course a PM need to have some qualifications. Like experience in different kind of fields of life and work for example. Here we only have someone who has grown up and been fed information to believe in from the mighty father figure.

 

For your information, people can only get real experience if they are left to think and find things out as well as make judgement on their own out of that. Do you really think that what´s going on here?

The unelected coup leader had nine years as a PM, educated at a Military Academy with a similar IQ as an ordinary Somchai in the street.

Thailand is a Banana republic and always will be.

True, but that guy had military backup. which means attitude adjustment camp or worse for the one who talks.

They shouldn't worry about what the Thai PM does, pretty soon many will be deported to Thailand, and they can vote for who they want.

Possibly if they are there illegally.  If they are there legally, they have nothing to worry about.

They are not whining about that. What they are whining about, is that they have come to another country, which opened their eyes. Today they can see how corrupted everything is, and how specific clans push themselves to power. That´s the real reason behind the protests.

Well said. This post wins

they need to worry about trump, green card or citizenship - revoked 

 

What disingenuous nonsense are you peddling?

 

Please point out where President Trump has ever suggested revoking green cards as a remedy for the USA's illegal immigrant problem.

 

As for citizenship, definitely not. It's (purposefully) very difficult to revoke American citizenship. Unless a naturalized citizen is accused of something that rises to the level of a very serious crime, it basically Does. Not. Happen. (Think: lying about having been a murderous guard at a nazi concentration camp.)

 

To suggest that a Trump administration would attempt mass green card or citizenship revocations is completely ridiculous, and you know it.

Thais in LA protest....then hand her a check for one million THB.  

 

Very effective protest tactics.

was the sentence too long or too hard to understand? The $30k was for flood victims, clearly stated in the article. How much of that actually gets to the people is anyone's guess, knowing Thai officials usual behavior

This young Thai lady PM got no experience.  True. 

Look elsewhere.  Is this the only case ?   Of course NOT.   

 

In countering to your thinking " a PM needs to have some qualification",   

the most worldwide well-known No experience President coming  to the office happened not even that long ago 

 

Barack Obama had zero governing or government experience too in USA Election 2008 and started USA President job in 2009. 

 

Deny or Argue whatever you want.   There is facts/reality/history and I stick to it.
