Yes already checked mate 

Thaksin is dismantling the remnants of military influence on politics in Thailand. 
This is a progressive move 

We can't talk in depth about this but Hunz, do you and Bild, Thaksin supporters, accept the notion that Thaksin was allowed to come back to counter the rise of Move Forward? 

At the same time Army forces in Bangkok have become concentrated under a single authority, the same authority that has Thaksin on a string.

How can this be progressive? 

It is concentrating power in very few hands.

There was a guy a while ago who went to jail, wrote a book, ceased power, eliminated the opposition, tried to rule beyond his imagination, destroyed many countries, was finally put in his place. Hope this guy doesn’t become one of those guys.

I doubt that the army has the power to interfere any more, especially as the majority of the troops in Bangkok are now under the control of the Kings Guards, and their loyalty is to a much higher person, than a bunch of generals.

But if the higher person orders it will done.. It happened before but that news was deleted within the hour

Yes, Emperor Thaksin! 🫡

More whataboutery.

 

Try facing reality. It is completely different to your world.

 

Do you truly believe that the person who brought Thaksin back and who controls the army in Bangkok will do that? The army is no longer the top dog in the country. Their supporters, the ultra royalists and the yellow shirts are ageing and dying off, the younger generation are taking over as they are far smarter than their parents and their grand parents, who suffer from blind loyalty to their version and idea of what Thailand is, and what Thailand is becoming in reality.

 

The younger generation want a better life than their parent and their grand parents and they are chiselling at the political foundations. They are no longer brainwashed by their parents and their schools, They are not blind or deaf and can see what is going on, and dislike what they see.

 

THET are the ones who will change the country. It may take a year, 5 years, 10 years or more, but it will happen, and neither you nor tthe police or the army can stop it.

Think more like 20-30 years at the earliest, things are still getting worse, not better.

Optimistic, and I believe with time, maybe 10 years or more, the People's Party will triumph. but in the meantime I expect they will be trounced in the PAO elections today as Thaksin's blatant vote buying, populist policies will persuade enough of the poor to vote for Pheu Thai.

Thaksin and the elite hope to fend off the rising tide of reform wishers in an unholy alliance of the elite with the poor, masquerading as patriotism.

A leopard doesn't change its spots.

Domination- once in the mobile phone sector, and then in politics.

Thaksin's modus operandi, the only way he knows how to play. 

 

What exactly is wrong with his request? It is called a majority government and is a common practice in democratic societies. He is asking for a mandate for one party because coalition governments are usually ineffective and typically start falling apart after a year. This has been demonstrated in the EU, Canada, and Israel.

Thaksin's minions are having a problem enacting the policies that they campaigned on and this is the only option available to them - to win a majority at the ballot box. It will not happen and hopefully will not, but that is a different story.

In a recent development raising eyebrows across the Thai political spectrum, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra called on voters to back the Pheu Thai Party exclusively. Thaksin argues that a single-party majority could fast-track government initiatives, suggesting that the current coalition governing structure is cumbersome and inefficient.

Thaksin obviously doesn't understand the meaning of a coalition...

He (Thaskin) is asking for a one-party state, a country where a single political party controls the government, either by law or in practice. Examples of one-party states include North Korea, China, Eritrea, and Cuba. In other words a  "dictatorship"

Thaskin did NOT say a "majority government"  in fact the guy is senile !
