Deferral Of Debate Wins Wide Support: Thailand

"...43 per cent said the rally by the People's Alliance for Democracy resulted in chaos and tarnished the country's image. Some 38 per cent wanted protesters to exercise discretion and not use force, while 18 per cent believed protesters obstructed traffic and caused inconvenience to the public."

It seems like I'm not the only one who is fed up with the PAD's shenanigans. Instead of working on reconciliation, the sitting government should label these people as 'terrorists' and round them up for prosecution. It seems that retaliation is prefered over reconciliation by the yellows anyway.

For 'working on reconciliation', read facilitate the return of Thaksin and his confiscated assets. A very warm welcome to all new Thaksin apologists to this forum.

The same could be said of the red/back shirts.

I haven't followed the news lately. What'd they do? Kill some people? Burn some buildings? Fire off some grenades? Threaten bodily injury? What?

No, no, nothing like that. Visionchaser45 is simply lowering the bar. Next step is to brand all farang who drop a cigarette butt on the sidewalk as terrorists - that could burn down a city, right?

Things move slowly in Thailand, but I do believe that the government is gearing up for some bloodshed... though they may use Redshirt proxies rather than Police. You will probably be able to rejoice in the sight of dead Yellowshirts within the next two weeks or so.

Hoo.... bloody .... ray!

Here it is folks, the Thai people are letting the politicians know just what they really think of them.

In short they are are more interested in getting on with their own lives than having to put up with the endless self serving, corrupt, deceitful, patronising bullshit that emanates from Parliament and Dubai.

Enough is enough.

With everyone arguing about what to do next, is it not possible to do the most sensible thing and let the real 'people', and not just those inside the walls of Parliament, read the details of the bills and vote on whether they wish for the government to proceed with them.

I suspect that very few people in Parliament haven't bought their way into their seat in some way, so let's just offer a national referendum to the public on this hot potato. If PT and the Dems have even the slightest integrity and belief in democracy, then they should have nothing to fear other than the public will confirm what they want to happen. If people were unable to respect the outcome, and this then still led to rallies, protests or civil war, then at least it would serve to confirm that the country is well and truly screwed for the foreseeable future.

Truthfully speaking, is there any real point to having a Parliament in Thailand which is filled with suspiciously selected rogues who are there for their own self interest rather than to serve the public? Surely it would be more productive to open a Facebook page and let the general public approve new laws by clicking on 'like' or 'dislike'. Tongue in cheek.

Well I agree with you on the national referendum.

The thing is it has to be done unannounced. If they have the time the PT will just buy the votes. The problem is how to get it done in that short of a time frame.

They don't really have to explain it as most people know the reason for it but a lot of them need the money in their hand before they vote for it. Not sure if Thaksin is still set up to funnel the amount of money to the people he needs to come back to Thailand with no charges against him.

Forget referendum, PTP even reneged on a promise to hold public hearings they made only a month ago.

They really tried to sneak this bill in as quickly and as quietly as possible.

They are not even planning to reconcile reds and yellows or Dems and PTP supporters or pro-Thaksin anti-Thaksin people, they want to use the parliamentary majority to force the other side to accept the proposed bills, which is opposite what reconciliation means.

Speaking of the public's wish to see economic concerns addresssed. Why is it that under this administration I am paying the same price for a liter of diesel fuel now when the global price for a barrel of oil is $82 as I was under the previous administration when oil reached as high as $148 per barrel?

When oil peaked diesel was over 40 bht a litre. Much cheaper now.

When oil was at $148/bbl I was paying ฿30.74/ ltr. under the previous administration. True diesel costs rose to ฿40/ltr under this administration (though global oil prices never approached the prior $148/bbl). My question is why when oil is currently trading under $82/bbl am I still paying the price I paid during the last administration when oil was trading at $148/bbl?

Perhaps the PT is trying to recoup some of there cost's from the 2010 demonstration.

It is more like aggravation or provocation.
