He's got to run out of family members one day. 

 

Getting fed up with this incompetent family, it's really embarrassing for the Thaksin's

 

And I wonder how long the party faithfull will put up with this, family members is getting them nowhere. Time to try a non thaksin candidate. Or dissolve the party, there's some new very capable blood with no baggag in other parties, I hope they rise even further next election.

Which is why I loathe the Catholic Church, do I believe in God and Jesus, Yes.....my choice, but not what greedy and misguided Churches have done to the original message.

The original message wasn't that good to start with, the 10 commandments were, but then:

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female,   provided they are from neighboring nations.  A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians.  Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

  2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.  In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

  3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual "uncleanliness" - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell?  I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

  4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.  The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them.  Should I smite them?

  5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.  Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

  6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.  I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of  abomination?

  7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.  Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

  8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

  9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

  10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two   different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend).  He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?  Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

IF this guy becomes the PM. Thaksin may be able to escape paying all the billions in tax money he owes that he has been ordered to pay. 

That seems to be the plan here.

In Thailand is it a prerequsite that you have to be very rich -  to be in politics ?

 

Has there ever been any 'normal' people in prominent leadership roles ?

Nattapong Kunakornwong, son-in-law of de facto Pheu Thai boss and inmate Thaksin Shinawatra, is expected to be named among three Pheu Thai candidates for prime minister, according to a partisan source. His potential nomination signals a strategic move by the party as it prepares for a nationwide election anticipated as early as February.

Strategic move or a nail in the coffin ?

Seems to me a nail in the coffin. I agree this may well be to create a situation where thaksin can get the 28Billion fine removed.

 

On a different angle how come the party (thaksin) has decided his son in law is the next candidate.

 

When was it discussed, my understanding is that whilst in jail he is not allowed to have such discussions. 

 

Does a prison official closely monitor all discussions between inmates and their visitors?

That completely ridiculous family has got to somehow realize that they are way past the sell-by date, their legacy has expired, their popularity is gone, their support base has dwindled, and nobody wants to see them around anymore.

 

They're toxic, they're corrupt, they do not have the people's interests at heart, and even my friends in Issan who used to love them have abandoned them and consider them to be a very fraudulent political dynasty, who thankfully are in the rear view now. 

 

They're not all that far back in the rear view. As another member has already stated, still plenty money to be made by keeping the dynasty in play. It's never been about winning elections or popularity contests. Ever.
