Thai interior minister rules out postponing Feb 2 election

[firestar]

More threats and intimidation. Yep just what this volatile situation requires.

Whereas physically blocking, imposing your will by force on those (including minority parties) who took the decision to participate is not intimidation?

[tingtongteesood]

Nope - do as we say, how we say, when we say. You must not argue, question or refuse.

Democracy PTP style. Imagine the boss's plan. Get the goons re-elected, another 4 year "peoples' mandate", we're democratically elected again so we can really do what we want this time. Fire the judges they don't like, push the 2.2 trillion through, push the amnesty bill through when the times up and "hey presto" ! The boys are back in town, in power and in the money.

Thaksin thinks, Pheu Thai acts !

They must believe they've neutered the military as part of this plan.

Absolutely SPOT ON ! Let's hope it doesn't happen. Reforms first.

...yes, how exactly does one turn a person's resignation into an illegal activity...?

...and as for his comments that delaying the election is impossible, it seems that the election commission seems that it is feasible, so who is he to suggest that he knows better than the governing body?

Desperate times require desperate measures, so the EC has the required authority to delay the elections in order to ensure that reforms may be put in place to ensure that there is no vote-buying etc., or at least, to ensure that there is greater observation of the election process so that vote-buying can be eradicated.

The problem, of course, is that this all of this needs to be 'done and dusted' before the expiry of the 180-day period that is required to kill the Amnesty Bill, once and for all, otherwise, all is lost for the man in Dubai...!

However they say the amnesty bill is canceled, they are really desperate to be in power on the 180th day when the bill returns to the lower house.

Exactly! The crab woman must return to revive the nasty bill for evil big boss! No matter how many people die, ptp must be back after Feb 2 !

How can we stand this evil group of gangsters and blood suckers?
