This is only the new ones? Are they going to make the cabinet meeting room a bit bigger?

How many deputy PM's are there now?

I think you'll find the correct terminological term for deputy P.M's is clones.

I assume we get a more complete picture of the current cabinet line up tomorrow. I wonder who's missing. Also some Pheu Thai MPs becoming cabinet ministers before stepped down as MP, some did not.

Not replaced is Commerce Minister Boonsong which makes sense. His ministry is targeted in the upcoming censure debate. Had he been replaced now the PM might have to stand in and answer questions.

And Constable Plod became Deputy PM? And we have a new Science Minister - well at least that should help the flood problem...

I am going to miss his enormous scientific ability.

With new ag and transport ministers and the questions/concern about the rice scam, it should make things interesting.

I really did think people are promoted for their enhanced learning in their field of speciality/ies.

12 Pongsak Raktapongpaisarn became energy minister.

Ex-transport minister now. Aha! He knows what the big boom is. A fart from a motorcyle taxi!

God help the Nuclear blokes, who've been genuinely looking to create Thailand's own electricity production.

All Pongy-sack knows is about as much as a traffic cop saying don't scream, just relax, I won't charge you!

The one ass backwards is Jatuporn of course...lol

Zombies more like it!!!

I think there are 6 now, 3 from the new and 3 from original. Certainly a very complex if not complicated structure.

"I snap my fingers at at a foeman's taunts,

and so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts !

His sisters and his cousins,

Whom he reckons up by dozens,

And his aunts !"

in Sir Joseph's song, from Gilbert-and-Sullivan's light-opera 'HMS Pinafore', seems perhaps appropriate ?

Indeed, they could only fit the names of the 23 new positions on one page of the paper. By the time the entire list is made up, it will need its own entire pull out supplement.

Is that our poster boy, Jurapong, as Interior Minister? or is this another Jurapong?
