Thai Parliament Quarrel Escalates In Hitler Salute

[rubl]

Thaksin must not be associated with Hitler.

He is a very evil man.

which one these two?

I think that you can tell the difference between a man whose regime was responsible for industrially-engineered genocide and Thaksin.

Not trying to defend Hitler, but the 'volkswagen' and the 'autobahn' were a good idea, even if followed through for more sinister reasons. K. Thaksin of course would never get involved or even dictate genocide, that's bad for business nowadays as all know. That would really hurt revenue and ROI. In other words, not to be done

Yes and Mussolini made the trains run on time

Actually I think he was making the point that the Speaker was like Hitler for not allowing him to speak. I doubt if he was denying the holocaust or announcing plans for a new neo-nazi party in Thailand (Thaksin already had one of those) So no big deal i don't reckon.

Apparently the Speaker got the idea and tried to be more accommodating towards the opposition MPs. The downside, however, is that now they just won't shut up. A couple of days ago one Dem MP kept on talking and talking for over half an hour and in the end had to be carried out by stewards, still in the middle of his speech. He was so annoying even Democrats didn't protest.

And so the circus called "parliamentary democracy" rolls on. They were supposed to finish the current session a month ago and go on a break but who cares, the government has the majority and enough patience to drag this on while the opposition has no other choice but to stall by all means.

In the end the govt will get what it wants and Abhisit will be proud of sorting the issues in parliament. Yeah, it's definitely less destructive than street wars of 2008-2010 but there's no point in this exercise whatsoever, there's no sense, no civility, no moving the country forward, nothing, and opposition supporters still won't accept the legislation they don't like no matter how many MPs vote for it just like PTP supporters didn't accept Abhisit's premiership.

All this is just beating about the bush, however, if Dems were assured that PTP sponsored legislation won't absolve Thaksin they would vote for it with two hands just to get out of there, no matter what else it says.

Yet another yeas is passing with the country being held hostage to the ambitions of a single man.

The offended MP thought his allotted time was cut short.

I don't know how to show respect to a person in power who cuts off your mike, says he can't hear you, and when you approach turns his face away and says he can't see you either.

If they expect unquestioning obedience than a couple of nazi salutes are definitely in order, or should they prostrate themselves on the ground and touch his feet instead?

The response from the Speaker was a lot tamer tha has been seen in other parliaments where MPs were escorted out of the House. You cannot be insolent or disrespectful to the Speaker. No matter how much one disagrees with a Speaker, the Speaker represents the Parliament and every MP is obliged to show respect for the institution.

If the MP has a complaint, he should have brought it before Parliament, by way of the existing oversight commitee. That is the procedure.

Hi GK! Was there provocation? Does the speaker of the house in the UK act the same?

Comparing a historical person or situation with an actual person or situation is seductive but at a highest level obsolete. You create more confusion than information about your aims.

The postings here are the evidence.

And besides keeping order based on rules, 'The Speaker' must ALSO show respect to the parliamentarians whether or not he personally or politically likes or agrees with them.

GK could care less

To be honest I stopped on this thread a long time ago actually about 9 pages ago having seen the footage it was pretty clear that he was protesting the Hitler approach being used to cut of a ligatement statement.

Whats to say it is all there to see.
