Former PM Somchai leads former People Power executives to join Pheu Thai

[tingtongteesood]

The number of time the reds keep on that 'the Dems haven't won an election for 20 years' - this explains why then doesn't it -

Thai Rak Thai BANNED for electoral fraud. Peoples Power Party BANNED for electoral fraud. and we all know that PT only got in because of promising to give the voters free stuff and they weren't smart enough to work out they were actually going to have to pay for it all themselves....

So Mr. T's brother in law who was the PM in Mr. T's old party has brought Mr. T's lawyer and previously banned former member of Mr. T's old party to join Mr. T's new party where his wife is an MP for Mr. T's new party and the PM is Mr. T's sister.

Just as well Mr. T is no longer involved in politics or things could get confusing!

Sly and the the Family Stone.

It's a family affair.

The disussion of Thailand's problems was completely one sided. If a choice had to be made between sides I think the US would back the royalists and the military that is loyal to the throne- not Thaksin.

I am quire surprised that so many Thais favour amnesty. Even the October./November poll show strong support ( albeit under 50%). It goes without saying that the real complication comes from the different support levels by region ( very low in south, high in north, split in Bangkok....as is reflected in the political divide in the country)

Actually, what was more relevant was WHO was getting amnesty. There was general support for an amnesty that included rank and file protesters only. There was little support from either side for an amnesty that included leaders.

Somchai said he decided to join the Pheu Thai because it is a party that deserves public faith. He said he has faith in the party leader, its executives and policies so he decided to join the Pheu Thai after completing the ban period.

He also said that during the ban period he tried his hand at an honest job, but it just wasn't for him...

What he didn't say is that his wife leaned on him
