Nirvana Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'll be perfectly honest. At this point, I don't care who wins. I just want them to open the airport ASAP! AGREE I have been that way for the last 6 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovyc Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 A motocade of red-shirts headed south on the highway at Ngamwonwan 10 mins ago? A few hundreds at least, but could have been more as I didn't see them all (my ofice is next to the highway). They were in pretty high spirits. Many motocycles were also (illegally) accompanying them on the highway. Any ideas as to where they are heading? PS> I'd love to have a much awaited emergency holiday tomorrow..

jackr Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Wearing the Bandana right now and have every day, including those days in Chiang Mai ;-)Restaurant is closed and is only open for this private victory party. As for the questions regarding the airport...victory party there tomorrow morning You have GOT to be kidding? Do you even understand the propaganda being spilled here? Or are you going cause your wife is being paid by the PAD? This is not a FARANG issue. You have been in the sun to long my friend... [flame deleted] What happens if PAD achieve their main aim of a redesigned power system in this country and the new power starts messing with visas? Doubt you'll be partying and wearing yellow bandanas then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkofdavid2 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 PAD will never stop asking for concessions until Sondi, Chamlong etc. is the one and only prime minister. But wait! There can only be 1 prime minister! One of them will then become PM, the other will then become the next opposition leader who will again take the airport.

The Nation I think that shows that the PAD has no idea about government. If the MPs are forced to leave, there aren't enough seats to form a government.

FatherF Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I have just heard on the BBC that the PAD have said "they will not leave either airport, until they are happy with a new government". Could be a long haul....... and i don't mean flight! lets see what happens on the 5th. FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitele Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Only Thaskins return to power will completely solve this. A purge is needed. Nothing else is going to work long term. It is not a pretty scenario, but there is no other way. I hope they (Thai majority) get it over with quickly. Let the flames begin!

clausewitz Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 This is another sad decison by courts that are politcal pawns:THAILAND: Watershed moment for democracy and rule of law FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AHRC-STM-298-2008 November 26, 2008 A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission THAILAND: Watershed moment for democracy and rule of law Already, the criminal justice system of Thailand has been reduced to an utter joke, its agencies and personnel either unable or unwilling to intervene effectively to protect public property and people's lives, or even prosecute wrongdoers. That the security forces can carry out coups on the whimsy of generals and engage in battles over trifles with those of neighbouring countries but not responsibly protect the Government House or international airport is sheer farce. That government agencies have been forced to negotiate and cut their losses rather than insist that the law be enforced is dangerous folly. And that the senior judiciary, which through a succession of highly politicised judgments has played a major part in contributing to the current mess has nothing useful to contribute when lives are at stake and the country is in greatest need of intelligent guidance is altogether shameful. About AHRC: The Asian Human Rights Commission is a regional non-governmental organisation monitoring and lobbying human rights issues in Asia. The Hong Kong-based group was founded in 1984. http://www.ahrchk.net/statements/mainfile....tatements/1779/ The only joke I see is that statement (the misspellings are horrible - must be a Thaksin front organisation). The Asian Human Rights Commision is a front for Thaksin?? funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prakhonchai nick Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Please don't come up with this vote buying crap again as most ALL parties do it but it appears that only the winners get penalised in this crazy system. True - most all parties have been involved in vote buying, BUT the reason for the dissolution is because an EXECUTIVE of each of the 3 parties bought votes, and as a result the whole party suffers. Had it been a lesser person only he/she would have been thrown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjayjayjay Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 . At least PAD are assured that they will not be legally removed from the airport by a decently guided police force. What is going to happen?? My guess is that 50,000 red shirts will open the airport inside three days. This verdict is likely to push there so far peaceful opposition to PAD past a limit of acceptance. Dont forget, they were most likely holding there agression as their parties were in power. They are not any more, so what have they to loose. Expect some really messy goings on in Bangkok the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skooldaze Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Anyone know for sure if the PPP, after a process of metamorphosis, can just re-emerge as the XXX party and take over as government or do they have to rerun the election as confirmation?At least Somchai can now step aside having saved face by having not resigned. An honourable Thai solution. Yes. PPP has already formed a new party in anticipation of this called the Peua Pandi Party. All of the PPP MPs that weren't banned will switch to this party. this is according to the numerous press reports I've read in the last few months.
