Sukampol Approves Decision To Strip Abhisit Of Military Rank

[Sing_Sling]

Abhisit could have come to power in 2007 if some of the smaller parties didn't support the PPP as they had campaigned. Somehow you seem to think that having meetings with fugitives is an acceptable way to form a coalition government.

You're seriously using 'if' in a discussion like this.

There is no if, there is only 'is'

Yes. "If". The "is" came when Abhisit did form a coalition government in 2008.

Nope, you still miss the point. It didn't happen. This is reality and 'ifs' are not part of reality. Deal with it. The time teh population actually go to vote for him . . . the majority didn't. Again, no 'ifs'.

"not that you were ever elected by the people" - He was elected an MP by the people. He was elected PM by the parliament. That's they way Yingluck became PM too.

But not before he was picked by Anupong and the other powers to be.

I am afraid it is flogging a dead horse with these people.Whether through ignorance or sheer obtuseness they will apparently never understand the simple truth that while Abhisit certainly became PM legitimately through a parliamentary system he was "guided" to power by the old order and never obtained moral legitimacy.This could have been obtained by victory at a general election.However he failed this test and the Thai people threw the bum out.Back to the drawing board for the unelected elites and their deluded middle class followers.

Have to say that you missed an opportune time to use the flogging horse smiley. They are few and far between. The rest of it, Elites bad yada yada all while the paymasters sitting in Luxury Suite and his children blowing millions. Who's deluded?

Today the news in the other paper it seems Sukampol is holding his decision to strip Abhisit of his rank in abeyance for an additional 10 days in order for Abhisit to present documentation to the panel he appointed.

If the documents are approved, then he would fully rescind his rank-stripping order.

Resorting to the vernacular somewhat, but he's just yanking Mark's chain.
