There should be investigation into this resignations. It is not an isolated resignation but en masse.

Well yes, but is it actually illegal. Stupid, ill timed and a dereliction of duty, I agree, but what would the investigation be able to do apart from tell us all what we already know; they planned it this way.However it's not illegal to quit your job.

I hope they have lost their jobs, pensions etc cos they have let down Thai folk that they work for and received their cash in a nice job.

If they quit for political reasons, yep on board with that.

If they quit because they have legitimate, real concerns about the security arrangements for Sunday, then that's another matter.

Do we know why they quit yet?

lol, funny Thailand must be the only country in history to try to REFUSE an election

Wouldnt be so sure this is it true just yet and not just posturing. If they have resigned thats got to be good for the teaboys and girls, opportunity knocks. I thought the EC and Gov were supposed to be meeting today and discussing things. clearly the discussions are taking place in the usual unbaised and uncorrupted manner i see

The EC can no longer claim neutrality, great way to show the whole world. this isnt good at all not really it signals the fascists are running the show behind the scenes. At least thats another lot out of the closet.

The Network "M" close ranks, calls are made, civil servants refuse to do their jobs anymore.

All 50 resign wn masse.

No reasons are given of course.

Solution:

Hold the elections in the country and then we will have by-elections in Bangkok and the south to follow.

Thank you very much for quoting the Pheu Thai party line to us

Oh dear. No ones got any balls around here.

On the contrary, they have demonstrated considerable courage, not to mention common sense.

Wither Chalerm in charge of 'security' they were probably shitting themselves at the thought of gun battles and mayhem at the polling booths.

Your quotes from PTP sly scammers are causing us to lose brain cells.

It could be the events of this weekend brought home to them what could happen at the polling stations and they felt that they would be in danger, unable to rely on having police protection.

However it's not illegal to quit your job.

If there were no protestors opposing the elections, there would not be any danger, would there?

Yes, but there are, aren't there?

So it makes sense to have some sort of plan in place. If they have quit because there isn't, then it could explain their actions.

If they quit for political reasons, well f#%k them.

They obviously were told to quit and the timing (as EC goes into meeting with The Elected by majority in free elections Yingluk) shows the connivance again.

Somchai needs to be hung out to dry for his wish you good luck jibe.

I'm thinking they expected the election to be called off and now they have lost their salaries for the Sunday election.... Will some un-resign now there is a big payday to be had?

EC showed again in full view of worlds media what conniving vermin they are.

Given the fact that many posters on this and other threads have mentioned the fact that Suthep and his crowd are anti-foreigner, I find it amazing that so many seem to want the man to get what he's aiming for.

I sincerely hope that, as we're all exiting the kingdom without our money, homes, possessions, valuables, dogs, hopes, dreams and even families, you remember to thank him for giving you the opportunity to return to your beloved home countries where you can live in style and continue failing to understand the reality of life.

If I meet any of you on the way out - watch out!

Ridiculous.......

Would have been a more effective reply if you'd explained why you think my comment was ridiculous.

Remember Mugabe? Or are you too young? Or maybe American and uninformed except for issues which affect the USA? The same happened to thousands of Indians as well as Brits living in what is now Zimbabwe, and few saw it coming. Many were tortured and killed before they had a chance to leave.

What's truly ridiculous about the expat reaction to this emergency is the lack of analysis resulting in gut reactions I wouldn't even expect from the undeniably prejudiced in my home country.

This is not about Abhisit, Yingluck, Thaksin, Suthep or any other incredibly wealthy politician, wannabee dictator or president, it's about everyday people, their families, their businesses, their lives. Bangkok is NOT the centre of the universe, nor are it or its few billionaire residents entitled to control the rest of the country and exclude them from their rights.

As a woman, I can't forget my country's history as regards suffrage for women, as well as the dedicated females who died so that future generations of women could have the right to vote. That was almost a century ago, and the present conflict in Thailand may end with the disenfranchisement of the majority of its citizens.

That's the fact - seems it's more fun to post accusations whilst completely missing the essential point.

This is core the concern i agree, it is far beyond individuals and reputations. I see peoples rights being trampled in broad daylight regularly now, I hear women being attacked by abuse only fit for a toilet live on stage and televised. People being detained and asked to provide papers robbed and beaten.

People are woefully inept at seeing the bigger picture or the risk attached to where this could be heading and your correct it never could happen until it does, by then for many its far too late

Being here for many years this IS the worst I have seen things here especially in BKK and the polarity of having sides is getting worse every day in the capital. Its not that I don't feel safe its that i notice the rise of nationalism getting to Nazi proportions when demands are made to exile Thai families, sympathisers or supporters.

Now many will just laugh it off or say the Thais arnt like that, having been here many years I can safely say that Thais can be talked into believing almost anything when it comes to being nationalistic. And that is a problem that all the expat or other communities should be aware of.

They all came to the same conclusion that they need to resign... amazing Thailand...

The DSI threatened them a few days ago - what did you expect

Plus the inaction of police while people are being gunned down at voting stations

I think they just decided enough was enough - I suspect more will follow

There should be investigation into this resignations. It is not an isolated resignation but en masse.

They think the government sucks. Case closed.

The issue is that you can't just remove the shinawatras from politics anymore than you can remove the thugsaubans.

They they are like a hydra. One goes another appears. They are ALL a cancer. Family dynastic politics and democracy in any country is not right.

Remove thaksin and his sister. What about his kids? And their kids. If ever there was an advert for inheritance tax this was it.

This should be no surprise.

A couple of months ago, the EC warned Yingluck that the rice pledging scheme was bad policy.

The election commission is commenting on fiscal issues?

of course- makes perfect sense.

The writing was on the wall.

Of course this government will be removed by the various arms of the establishment- (imbued with almost divine right from a-high).

But those licking their lips anticipating the enactment of some kind of soap serial conflict- where good triumphs over evil- should remember Ireland- Iraq- even South Thailand- not to mention Sarajevo.

Soon the gloves will come off- and when they do, all the finger pointing in the world will not bring back to life the dead.

The reds have been silent (though maybe not- we wouldn't know because the Nation is not exactly committed to informing- more like performing (trained dogs)

Don't expect slingshots this time- the men in black may be sidelined- by men in red.

(and anyone who doesn't know what 'third hand' refers to probably shouldn't be even posting here).

Of course there will be a judicial coup- after the coup the courts were padded with anti- Thaksin people- (checks and balances ya know).

]But what comes AFTER that?

Why has Yingluck stood solid- some day you might wish that she was still standing solid- because what will come will be much worse than bad economic policies or failed attempts at amnesty.

lol, funny Thailand must be the only country in history to try to REFUSE an election

Your quotes from PTP sly scammers are causing us to lose brain cells.

Yes, aren't you lucky you weren't born with any to begin with......

Great, get all the Thais to resign and move out and someone capable can take over

If the 50 election directors formally resigned than I guess the Election Commission needs to formally appoint 50 Election Directors even if (some of) those old ones would be willing to come back into their old position.

Tell you a funny story, our town hall is closed. Protestors put a sign up saying it will remain closed till Yingluk is out, I'm in the South this is common.

But it's a fake, the town hall staff did it because their Dem political masters told them they had to or they'd lose their jobs. Round the side, the door is still open, the voter registrations are processed, the elections go on. The town hall is very friendly, they're explaining its all fine, they just were told to do it, but elections are ready.

This is what Suthep is, just a fake PR action.

It was supposed to start with a 'spontaneous people's protest', but it was organized and bussed in, with sound stages books, and Suthep's money ready

Then a media PR lie to pretend it was millions, but you could count them in the photos, and TV showed live drone feeds revealing the lie

Then angry doctors join the protests, but they were just people dressed in white carrying a red-cross flag

Then angry strudents, the Students something something for reform! Turn out to be old men with black faces and Southern accents, just another fake

Government officers were supposed to hold strikes, but they didn't want to.

Schools, town halls close in support of Suthep in the South, but the teachers are angry and the town halls do business as normal, just in secret.

Then a march from the north of angry farmers demanding money... photos reveal no mob and no march

Sutheps runs out of money, the rent-a-mob go home, his guards want to go home,

Now we have a little rescue effort to save something from the NACC/EC etc.

Time to take out the trash, this party is over.

Well yes, but is it actually illegal.Ill timed and a dereliction of duty, I agree, but what would the investigation be able to do apart from tell us all what we already know; they agreed to do it this way.

Well, so let's hope that the EC has learnt the lessons of the past weekend and put the necessary measures in place to ensure that FREE & FAIR elections can take place.

There should be investigation into this resignations. It is not an isolated resignation but en masse.

They think the government sucks. Case closed.

What they think is irrelevant. They should just do their job.

Lets take a name check on these 50 persons and keep track of where they end up, it is only a matter of time before the Democrats are back in power and no doubt these names will reappear in various 'positions'then.

That will be interesting to watch! We certainly saw that with the Redshirts such as Nuttawutt! Keep track and let us know

Personally, is my spouse were in the position that these people were in I would have suggested resignation. Risking immediate wrath and possibly later fallout is certainly not worth the tiny salary that comes with the position. They were damned either way and the only safe way out for them was to be clear of the whole mess.

Right, no honour, just money and fear that counts. *sarcastic mode* A good thing to teach your children ...

Why sigh? What Smutcakes said is actually something very easy to do, and just wait, no harm to anyone... I think Smutcakes did not go too much far from reality.

International observers claim that the last election was fair. (cheating was Buam jai Thai and Chart Pattana as I recall- not PTP).

Aw well- why let facts disturb small brains into the explosion of cognitive dissonance.

Well at least they didn't torch the town halls

On a more serious note, a similar story can be told about the Pheu Thai stronghold and the red-shirt villages were it's clear 'we will vote' and 'we will vote correctly'.

The initial protests was spontaneous. The undemocratic pushed through parliament 'blanket amnesty bill' was too much. From 2004 to 2013-08-09 as well. Why did the Yingluck government need to have it's first two years in office covered? Any activity related to the 2006 coup or the 2010 riots, or just enormous corruption, government broke and Thaksin with a new passport.

No farmers, no march? What's true though is the 'no mob'.

As for saving from NACC / EC, did I hear Thailand slide down the corrupting index again? Soon to be on top of the list I guess.

There should be investigation into this resignations. It is not an isolated resignation but en masse.

I think that most people would call the enmass resignations a statement, or a message, to Yingluck and the shameful one in Dubai.

This goose is cooked. Stick a fork in it.

Spineless to the end. Not you Thaivisa members, of course not you...

I have little doubt that if the government changes, they will reappear somewhere.

With a suitable raise..

Are you trying to be cute?

The EC has a specific job description. "

You are surely smart enough to understrand that it is not the job of the EC to send "a message, to Yingluck and the shameful one in Dubai".

Their job is to facilitate elections- that's all.

They have not done so- (no surprise given statements coming from their 'bosses'.)

Just remember this pal- as easily as these dorks can play loose with the law when it suits YOUR political bias- they can also play loose against you.

You should be demanding transparency- application of law- to all agencies right now.

I guess you will have no problem when the EC decides that the immigration department should not be allowing YOU into the kingdom- because if they bend the rules once- they will bend them again.

YOu say they have no right to interfere with immigration?

Well buddy-= they have no 'right' to interfere with fiscal policy either.

You know the term 'usefuil idiots'? It's a word coined by Lenin- that was custom made for the nut cases on Thaivisa.com with their childish dreams of Santa Clause and Benevolent Dictators.

The Kulaks who supported the revolution- and then were shot by those they idolized.

Grow up. Or at least learn some history.

Very interesting

Did we not see in pattani the Moslem elders came out to protect the polling stations?

The baying mob weren't to be seen.

A portent. Not everyone in the south supports Suthep

Those who do well why do they?

Terrible infrastructure etc.

It can only mean that pockets are being filled.

Trickle down Suthep-economics perhaps?

After the coup I was told no-one on Samui paid any taxes.

they truly are garbage and people are wondering why we not join the bleeding hearts when some 50 - 60 year old hard faced, armed fascists calling themselves students meet with exactly the same justice they are in the business of handing out.

The clear out should not stop with Suthep. the backers need to be ruined financially and hounded out of business and the country so they never try this again.

The Reform that may happen when Suthep loses could be the reform to end all reforms in Thailand and many supposed elites will rue the day they ever thought of reform.

Wow! I did not think that you're gloating celebration of a mans murder could get any lower, but I was wrong.

Do you intend to bring it into every thread or does even your bile and hatred have limits?

Not unexpected at all, and apparently, the only way that they could possibly make the lady see sense.

What is now required is for her to make a public appearance announcing that the election is off, she and her caretaker government are stepping down, Suthep can therefore call off the street protests, and the business of carrying out necessary reforms can get under way.

She must also make it very clear to the Red Shirt extremists that their cause is over, and they should return to their homes; furthermore, anyone caught involved in any acts of shootings or bombing in response to the resignation of the government should be made to face the full extent of the law.

And if the caretaker govt steps down, who will govern? And do you think that there won't be further protests?

If the REDs were to take to the streets, I would then believe in claims of millions marching.

I dare say the reds may indeed come to town.
