No chance now for a graceful exit by our caretaker premier: Thai opinion

[bigbamboo]

The nation is again not an impartial newspaper part of the corruption of what is really wrong with Thailand, No freedom of the press among the many faults. The hypocrisy of the Farang community, know such B/S grab for power would not be tolerated in the west, any action beyond peaceful demonstrations, would not be tolerated

Peaceful Demonstrations, are exactly that people protesting but observing the rule of law, and the rights of other citizens, not taking over state building, and preventing the government of doing it job, and an action based on the active overthrown of the government those activities are terrorist activities based on the laws of my home country the U.S.A. and also in Europe!

Any forcing of Yingluck out of office on Trump up charges will not settle the long simmering injustice in the country by the Rich Elite Establishment, and shows the majority of the people that voted for her that their rights will never be accepted by the rich in the country!

The only way a Political office holder can be unwilling taken from their leadership role is through impeachment or voted out of office!

Those that say the PTP has lost their political power base, and the whole country has turned against the PTP. yet still do not have the confidence in their convictions , to let the people decide that though a fair Democratic election.

They do not pick that option because they Know PTP no matter how wounded still would win such an election.

Cheers

As ever the truth needs to be distilled. Yes the Nation is biased against the government but how could it be if there was no freedom of the press?

Yes there are attempts to foirce Yingluck out of office but the charges are not 'trumped up'... any more than those of her brother before her. That's a curious thing about the Shins, they seem to attract corruption like flies on sh*t.

The Dems should have stood at the election because with PT's support was already waning, the rice scam and the amnesty whitewash they would never have a better chance of winning at the ballot box.

"The nation is again not an impartial newspaper part of the corruption of what is really wrong with Thailand, No freedom of the press among the many faults. " Have you read Khaosod recently?

"The hypocrisy of the Farang community, know such B/S grab for power would not be tolerated in the west," No B/S corrupt government would be tolerated in the west either.

" No B/S corrupt government would be tolerated in the west either"

So in the west they turf the SOB's next election. Should be the same in Thailand.

Just because an electoral minority whose nose-is-out-of-joint because they cannot win an election, demonizes this Govt,, doesn't make the Govt. a demon.

The PTP elected Govt. is not a "B/S corrupt government"...........The majority of voters agree with this. The minority does not, or pretends not to, which would be expected from Parliamentary Oppositions........... So who rules?

Some will try a spin against the majority/minority thing, but the make up of the last parliament had no confusion about this....When the current election is completed and tabulated we will most likely see further affirmation.

pathetic no bs corrupt government...mmmm ok then floppy wheres the rice money gone...i know maybe washed away in the last flood..your right though some will try anything to be heard but never believed eh..

You see Mr Nation,what we do in big grown up countries when we don`t like our PM is vote them out at election time.

In Thailand they couldnt do that because the opposition refused to stand, after forcing an election.

Until you recognise this fact your opinion pieces are just seen as biased drivel, worthy of disdain.

"You see Mr Nation,what we do in big grown up countries when we don`t like our PM is vote them out at election time. "

Right.

Interesting story about the "Kitchenware revolution' in iceland ,maybe suthep could try that approach.

They did, with whistles. Until they started to get shot at and bombed with impunity.

If a government in the west was shown to be corrupt, they would be impeached and thrown in jail. They wouldn't last until the next election.

"If a government in the west was shown to be corrupt..."

This point would apply perhaps in extreme extra-ordinary circumstances, but doesn't apply in this case.

Opposition opposition regardless of what issue they choose or fabricate, has not shown there to be corruption. Perhaps imperfection for which many in Govt.are to blame, especially the bureaucracy where the proverbial rubber hits the road, and in the case of the agricultural subsidy program, exacerbated by Opposition obstructionism designed to impede the Govt.

As examples, self-serving Elitist opposition to that agricultural subsidy program and obstruction of it, an amnesty proposal or any other issue they have tried, does not mean it has merit...... It is just Opposition..... If the electorate agrees and votes accordingly, then one might be justified in yelling corruption, malfeasance or whatever demonizing term the Opposition likes.

The majority electorate as represented by the UDD/RS/PTP, are also not swayed by NACC charges in this regard. They have this group characterized in such a way that it's actions have little merit or validity for them, considering where they see it rooted.

So until the Opposition succeeds in attaining support from the majority electorate of their opinions, their yelling of 'fire' amounts to little more than normal Opposition hot air.

It appears they have little confidence in their progress, if their attempted nullification and obstruction of an election is any indicator.

Fact 1: Thaksin parties have won the last 5 elections and, by all accounts, would have won the last one.

Fact 2: Since Thaksin, the opposition has, and now again, come to power only through undemocratic means.

Excellent. If only either of those two things were actually a matter of fact, as opposed to opinion, you would be 50-100% correct. As it is, unfortunately, both are matters of opinion (without any supporting evidence at that).
