...

Whoever he does select, it'll be interesting to bounce off Thaksin's criteria list against the individual.

1. be a humble person that can coordinate with all sides, not making enemies too often.

2. be kind and compassionate

3. love justice

4. have courage to change what is wrong

5. understand people's economy and the business sector

6. be experienced in administration of big organisation, both understand and be practical

7. love the people

8. love democracy and respect people's wisdom and ability

9. stick to constitutional monarchy

.

10. Someone he can manipulate.

Just checking for the latest news. Has Thaksin let on to anybody yet who his choice actually is?

He apparently prefers the intrigue and won't say for nearly 3 weeks. That way the speculating keeps them in the news as one potential, Panpree, for example, after another gets trotted out there and see if anyone salutes.

Panpree's prompt turn down of the supposed offer indicates that any number of guys don't want it, while those that do, Mingkwan, for example, are getting "shuffled off to Buffalo" and marginalized.

Ever the drama queen seeking to show off his showmanship...

Whoever he does select, it'll be interesting to bounce off Thaksin's criteria list against the individual.

1. be a humble person that can coordinate with all sides, not making enemies too often.

2. be kind and compassionate

3. love justice

4. have courage to change what is wrong

5. understand people's economy and the business sector

6. be experienced in administration of big organisation, both understand and be practical

7. love the people

8. love democracy and respect people's wisdom and ability

9. stick to constitutional monarchy

.

Notice there is no requirement to be honest or anti-corruption in his list!

Thaksin Shinawatra Hands Victory to Abhisit Vejjajiva

April 08, 2011: Abhisit Vejjajiva would be the happiest man in Bangkok today after fugitive criminal and alleged terrorist Thaksin Shinawatra said he would be at the helm of the Puea Thai Party. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal Thaksin said he intends to play a key role in running from afar his country’s economic policies if Thailand’s main opposition party wins coming elections.

But so far the Puea Thai Party can’t seem to find a single candidate, Mingkwan Sangsuwan seems to be on the out as he refuses to follow the orders of Thaksin. Mingkwan Sangsuwan may not be Thaksin’s first choice as a puppet, in fact Mingkwan Sangsuwan is a very savvy businessman and unlikely to take the role of being Thaksin Shinawatra’s nominee Prime Minister.

Perhaps no one wants to run the country and take orders from a wanted criminal and alleged terrorist. The idea is so ridiculous not even The Wall St Journal can give it any credibility, the idea a fugitive leader, convicted of criminal offenses, allegedly involved in the terrorist burning of Bangkok, could run the nation from the protection of the United Arab Emirates
