Wanted: Yes-Man To Be Thaksin's Next Fall Guy

[hellodolly]

The dissolution of TRT was supposed to be a deterrent to stop politicians and the parties breaking electoral laws. To get around that issue, PTP appoint nobodies to the executive so that the PTP politicians can continue what the previous incarnations were doing, without the problem of being banned for 5 years.

The banning of the TRT was in the best interest of the country. The only problem is the replacement politicians didn't get the message.

No, Abhisit isn't just a "yes man to take the fall". He is the leader of the party AND the party's candidate for PM. He goes to parliament to debate the issues. He doesn't hide behind others. He's not the "pretty face" mouth piece that doesn't read reports/policy that is going to voted on. He leads.

Pass. I couldn't possibly comment.

Yet, you did.

No, I used comment as a verb and by definition did not make a remark, observation or criticism, I merely posted that I couldn't do any of those actions and quite plainly didn't.

Well I took it as a comment denoting you found nothing wrong with the statement and was in complete agreement with it.

Sorry I don't read minds and always thought a verb was a action word found in every sentence not a sentence.

This article is very interesting. We all agree that a "Yes Man to take the fall" is not a good thing as a party leader. And the author of this article confirms that it it is a consequence of the dissolution of the TRT, making just more obvious that the dissolution of the TRT was a desperate act and definitively not in the best interest of the country.

But a "yes Man to take the fall" isn't it just what Abhisit is ? Pheu Thai is becoming just like the democrats. Wasn't it the will of the people behind the coup ? No strong leader to allow backroom dealing between people of real influence. They are winning and now they are complaining. What's wrong with these people ?

The dissolution of TRT has made the Thaksin camp aware that breaking electoral law has consequences. But part of their nature, they just can't help themselves, so a fall guy is needed. What do you suggest the punishment should be; prison time or a B2000 fine?

Did you think your reasoning was that weak that a strawman was needed?

He leads and that is exactly what JurgenG has against him.

That and he dosen't have to pay his followers.

If you can't see that he was placed into his PMship with a jerry-mandered coalition after the army intervened and compelled a few people to switch sides, you are blind.

He was democratically voted in to power following a ballot of the sitting MP's actually!!!!
