webfact Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Pheu Thai seeks dissolution of Democrat Party BANGKOK, 7 November 2013 (NNT) - The Pheu Thai party submited a petition to the Election Commission calling for the dissolution of the Opposition Democrat party over their involvement in recent protests.Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva led the anti-government rally to march into Ratchadamnoen Avenue, which has been covered under the Internal Security Act.According to the ruling Pheu Thai party, his action violated section 94 of the constitution, which stipulates that the party at fault must be dissolved.Earlier this week, the Democrat Party escalated its anti-amnesty protest by marching from Samsen, which they have occupied since October 31, to Ratchadamnoen Avenue in a move to intensify pressure on the government.The Pheu Thai party will also hold a meeting to discuss withdrawing the drafts of amnesty and reconciliation bills. The continued revocation of the Internal Security Act will also be deliberated.-- NNT 2013-11-07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbamboo Posted November 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Eliminate the opposition party.... that should really help the situation! On the other hand I suppose the Dems could be reincarnated like TRT/PPP/PTP and call themselves the New Democrats. A similar change of name did wonders for the Labour Party in Britain.

On the other hand I suppose the Dems could be reincarnated like TRT/PPP/PTP and call themselves the New Democrats. A similar change of name did wonders for the Labour Party in Britain. Maybe it would be a good thing because then the Democrats might agree to scrap party dissolution legislation and stop this nonsensical tit-for-tat. Punish individuals guilty of electoral fraud or malfeasance, banning politicians who weren't involved often just harms the country, like when TRT were dissolved and Thailand ended up with the second raters of PPP, then eventually the third rate ministers of PT etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AleG Posted November 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2013 Just yesterday Yingluck was saying: The resumption of peace means all sides must grant forgiveness - without bias or emotion - and be open-minded to allow the airing of dissenting opinions. I understand this is difficult to do, but we have to put the greater good before personal interest. So much for allowing the airing of dissenting opinions and all that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robby nz Posted November 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2013 It must confound PT and the red leaders to see the Dem leaders actually leading from the front. A concept they have never seemed to master. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Can this government get any lower? Yes. I have just (3 minutes ago) been told by a Thai colleague that Thaksin has "bought" some Cambodian troops and that they are on the way to Bangkok to cause trouble. There were photos on Facebook. I am not sure whether to believe it or not. I am looking for the source now. Edited November 7, 2013 by petedk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any more information about this except that they are supposed to be in 15 Thai police cars heading from Don Muang now. It's probably another one of the Facebook propaganda things.

Thait Spot Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Is this the man who was suspended from politics for 5 years for attempting to hand over part of Thailand to Cambodia illegally? The same man who seems to serve as Thaksin's personal butler? I'm sure his lawyering skills perfectly up to the job. PTP is saying that the opposition is not permited to oppose the bill? That's a strange type of democracy for sure!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he hasn't the balls to put his name on something like that, but then again might be more of "the poor advice" he admitted to having been given in the past few days, according to his honest upstanding son he wasn't even smart enough to not get caught cheating in university exams.

When your paid militia/thugs perish, there will always be bystanders to take their weapons/remove distinctive clothing, thus leaving a poor dead unarmed protester aka another martyr. As with the black-shirt militia before there was plenty of photographic evidence of their existance but not a single dead one was found. A 7.5 million payout to any family makes that a win-win situation. The red side desperately need bloodshed again to rile emotions among the feeble minded, that will lead to more confrontations in Bangkok and allow a clampdown on the blossoming rallies. Together with some sort of forced sign propaganda around the country as we saw nearly being done last week, the impression will be of a united nation(all thanks and praise to Thaksin).
