Ex-Thai Rak Thai Execs: Politics 'Will Heat Up After August 1'

Politics 'will heat up after August 1'

THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- Politics will heat up and big changes will be in store after Parliament reopens in August, former Thai Rak Thai Party executives said yesterday.

"You have to closely watch political developments after August 1, particularly the items on parliamentary meeting agendas. I'm worried about big undercurrents that will alter the country's democracy. If 'they' interfere, it will be difficult to restore confidence in Thailand among the world community," said Warathep Rattanakorn, a former deputy finance minister, without identifying who "they" are.

In the seminar on "The political change point, criticism from the real man" marking 101 years of MR Kukrit Pramoj and 62 years of Siam Rath newspaper, he said that after Parliament convenes, politics would reach a turning point because more meetings will be held during the session.

There are the constitutional amendment bill, reconciliation bill and 2013 budget bill to be considered and the opposition will file a censure motion against the government.

All conflicts could be dissolved in Parliament, he said.

In the political system today, losers try to destroy the winners because they think that after destroying the winner they will become the winner again. But why don't they focus on winning public support with good performance, he added.

Palangchon Party de facto leader Sontaya Kunplome said that after August 1, political fuses would grow shorter because everybody has their own agenda during parliamentary meetings.

We have been warned...

Starting August 1st, the circus is back in town, with the clowns as a main attraction, a few daredevils, and the jugglers!

i really do hope there is no coup, regardless of whatever side you lean towards i don't think anyone should want this

because again, regardless about what you think about 06, i think we all know this time it won't be 'bloodless'

no just referring to what the first statement might be hinting at.

Should be fun to watch PTP crumble through infighting.

The TRT cronies want their seats back so expect the brown nosing trips to Dubai to escalate in coming weeks.

[Pseudolus]

Dear Thai Politics.

1) Grow up

2) Put the Hiso Fools in jail where they belong

3) Look at the calendar - it is 2555, not 2255.

4) Grow some balls and a conscience.

Do the above and everything will work out nicely.

Sometimes, just occasionally, coups are necessary. The red loud mouths and their supporters, for example, love Hun Sen in Cambodia. But is he not there as a result of a coup in 1997?

Of course not. Things will go on as they are and always have done. One mob of Hiso fools in power. The other mob of HiSo fools see their income drop. Call up Army, have a coup. They get in. Previous hiSo fools see their income drop, call up the reds, mob rule, army come in to stop it; they get. This can and will go on forever. There will come a point though when all the populace will get tired of this, but they will not as long as they think that the inherent extortion and corruption is their personal saviour as opposed to trying to create a society where the people in power at least try to some good things for the country some times and not only for their own pockets.

I hope there is a bloodless coup. The 2006 coup was the best that happened to Thailand in the last 10 years and why shouldn't it be bloodless.

No one want to fight if there is no money in it.

And Hun Sen in Cambodia is a prime example of Dictator democratic elected leader, that should be better removed by a military coup.

Abhisit's family is certainly wealthy but not hiso in the sense normally understood because they tend to follow useful careers and are not much interested in a glittering social life.Good for them.

your opinion.

but about why shouldn't it be bloodless?

look at the differences between then and now.

Coup? I read it as there will be a factional fight in the PTP to restore some old TRT politicians back in the government to strengthen Thaksins control.

Abhisit went to Eton school. Just to put that into context for you, the basic yearly cost is 1,500,000 baht a year. However, this is basic cost and only paying that is not an option. When you add in any extracurricular activities, uniforms, just about anything really, you will not get much change from 5m Baht per year. He was there for how long? If affording that is poor to lower middle class, that means I am a slum liver in Delhi by comparison.

Anyway, as his real name is Mark, I forgive him. I said somewhere else I think he is a good guy and has the right stuff. Shame the rest are a bunch or <deleted>.

Sonthi "Sonthi is a multimillionaire and has two wives, Sukanya and Piyada, despite legal prohibitions against bigamy". This one? highly doubt he had a poor upbringing.

Surayud came from a long line of military leaders -no poor people there.

Chuan - yes, he was poor. Very rich now though.

so you don't agree that it could be read as hinting at a coup?

or is it definitely what you interpreted as?

currently it is 1.000.000 per year and made a bachelor. 2.000.000, or 3.000.000 total??

That is not poor but not super rich as well.

Surajud: "As a boy, Surayud's father left his family to go underground to join the Communists." Typical rich family life?

Where do you take the Chuan is very rich now?

"so you don't agree that it could be read as hinting at a coup?

If it isnt cited then its just personal opinion.

Conspiracy theory

There is no reason for a coup, PTP have done a deal with the privy council and are sticking to the deal. Thaksin doesnt like it, he wants back in Thailand because he is loosing control of the agenda. Remember when the shinawatra clan start running thats when the jig is up.

I don't care about the others buy to think that a normal middle class family could afford 3m baht a year for there kid to go to school (will try to explain again, the basic tuition cost is only the start of it and at Eton, the actual cost per year is usually 2 or 3 times the basic cost for tuition. There is no way anyone bar the rich can afford it which he clearly is. Sure, he is not Russian oil tycoon rich, but not many in Thailand are. He is from a rich family; might be classed superrich by Thai standards.
