EC is ready to hold tomorrow's election re-runs

[ManofReason]

They had sensible and affordable policies - that is why THEY are not in this predicament now.

Tell me, in whose shoes would you rather be in at the moment, Abhisit or beleaguered Yingluck? I know who out of the two is sleeping better at night and doesn't feel that the world is against them!!!!

Who would I rather be? One is an irrelevant wash-up with murder charges hanging over their head and the other is the leader of the most powerful and popular political movement this country has ever seen and will continue to be so into the foreseeable future. Bit of a no brainer really.

Wrong answer!!! I gave you a one out of two chance of getting it right (even throwing in some substantial clues) and you still flunked it .

In another thread.. Families of the deceased at Big C have pressed murder charges against her.

Yingluck responsible for some as yet unidentified murderer launching a grenade into a crowd...that's a long bow to draw.

Rather than debate the issue perhaps silence is the best way to respect the absolute tragedy of the deaths of the non political children.

[SICHONSTEVE]

What will happen is that Abhisit/Suthep's murder charges will be dismissed and Yingluck's murder charges will be dismissed.

We can draw a line under this aspect now as it is non-news in reality.

[bigbamboo]

accounding the the constitution, the PTP must form a government within 30 days after the general election. So their deadline is the 3rd. Someone is gonna need to count the vote very quickly!

Probably already been done.

No worry. The dem's pdrc/pcad are using children - Shame

The shame's yours!!!

Wow, you are scared of the truth. Who exposed these children to danger of being killed?

[mimi9000]

My best thought is that a foreigner from a developed country that is reasonably and relatively functioning well... should be the next ruler of Thailand.

Surprsingly, my Thai friends all agreed with me.

[Bocking]

# 34: ''Wow, you are scared of the truth. Who exposed these children to danger of being killed?''

This statement seems to be placing the blame for the tragic deaths of those children onto their parents.

We're all entitled to opinions, but personally, I'd blame the people who threw the grenades.

There again, we've seen how the UDD Rally in Korat reacted to those tragic deaths.

[DrTuner]

Another dry day ?

[animatic]

No reason to block, it won't be able to get a quorum or stand up to scrutiny afterwards.

Yes, there have been elections and yes some hand to hand vote buying occurred,

but.... THAT WASN'T WAT WAS STEALING THE ELECTIONS.

Plus the obvious gerrymandering and manipulations, sure there was an

'outward appearance of democracy', but that doesn't mean it was really democracy,

as most of the world understands it.

Yes, there are royalist aligned factions against Thaksin,

there are also royalist aligned factions AGAINST Thaksin too.

It has never been as cut an dried on either side as their opponents

would make you believe. But that doesn't mean either side has not learned

from their process in ongoing stupidities , nor that they still don't see,

the power of the people and the rightful benefits of making the country side folks part of the entire picture.

I think most people on here do accept that the Dems have bodged up their attempts to be voted in and accepted by the red area, without doubt.

What most people want is a fair Government that looks out for the whole of the country and its people. PTP proved that they weren't that type of Government by almost creating civil war by bringing in a bill that that looked after the elite of their own corrupt selves and to hell with everyone else. The same government that were pocketing tax payers money, left right and centre.

This country and its people deserve better. If PTP had done their job properly, none of all this would have happened. All it needed to do, was focus on the people, not Thaksin. Done a fair pledging rice scheme, that had secure balances and checks in place, to reduce corruption. To produce a fairer tax system where the rich pay more, so better schools and services are supplied to the poorer areas.

Have the Dems done this? NO.

Have PTP, which is supposed to be their saviour? Hell, have they.

Actions speak louder than words, and PTP should remember that.

I'd say that sums it up nicely. Hopefully they leaned a lesson. No more 4 AM amnesty bills for the dear leader in Dubai. That's what started this mess.

If you think Yingluck is the leader of anything, I have a bridge for sale.

[tezzainoz]

Yep.... You won't face any more opposition to completing the elections, enough data has now been leaked to confirm that the elections will be voided by the constitutional court and fresh elections held of which the PTP and YL will no longer have caretaker power, and the Dems will absolutely walk into power.

Oh happy days.

The only way the Dems will "absolutely walk into power" is with the help of judges, the army and those who can't be named. They're never going to win an election because they don't have policies to help ordinary people.

Policies are easy to dream up, you can make them up on the run, just ask PTP and the fugitive, only problem theirs were flawed from day one as has now been proven.

Dem has good policy? Why they lost elections for the last 20 years? Oh, I know, it must be vote buying again.

Or the PTP where very good liers

and Thai people will believe any thing to get out of the mess that Thailand is in

Proof

Yingluck promised all the rice growers would be paid by the end of Feb

guess you can fool the majority of Thai all the times

but now she can fool many Farlang as well

And what defeat is that?

I would assume it is the defeat(s) of the multiple attempts over the previous decade to overthrow elected governments, subvert the rule of law and end electoral democracy in Thailand by a self interested minority.

Kapeesh?

Or it is the defeat of the taskinites who are so sure of their rights to make up their own laws and con the Thai people

the can not see the end coming in the courts

Their will be many Farlangs losing FACE on TVF when this happens

I hate to tell you this

they where never killed

so they can not be charged with Murder

Now Yinluck a whole new ball game

Sounds good to me. Need to get rid of inept fake PM and have a better government inplace. Abhisit and co did a much better job than this lot. Korn was a decent and qualified finance minister rather than the recycled red shirt leaders used for the current government ministers.

wow two days ago the same posters who are now blaming the parents where scream the the government worker hed the right to walk where ever she wanted

today the parent had no right to run a business on a pubic street as a family

How quick we are to change our opinions to suit our bias

[Mosha]

Would love to know where the elections is being held. Er Indoors doesn't know. No voting slips here.

[metisdead]

A number of nonsense trolling posts and replies have been removed.

[Bocking]

#52 ''Hi kids, are you all ready for tomorrow picnic?''

#56 ''Who needs bodyguards when you have children?''

..... <deleted>, 4 Children are DEAD, killed by indiscriminate grenades and gunfire whilst NOT attending any PRO or ANTI Government Rally.

Their families were there to watch them die, perhaps even to hold them for their final breaths.

Certain TVF posters seem to be gloating over the deaths of innocent children, and blaming anybody but the criminals who murdered them ....

But then that's hardly surprising .... we've all seen the UDD video from Korat .... Beyond Disgusting

They were either out shopping with their families or playing near their family's noodle restaurant.

Please stop trying to justify their murder by suggesting their families were in some way responsible to taking them there.

The scum the did this should be caught, tried and if guilty with very solid evidence executed. As should those responsible for commanding them at the highest level.

Unfortunately there is no competent unbiased investigation agency in Thailand capable of doing this, so they will probably escape punishment.

It's sad that some do chose to distort the facts for political gain of such appalling crimes.

[rickirs]

Whenever the EC dismisses any concerns over possible violence against the polling by the opposition, I just want to hold my breath because it just seems to invite the violence. No mention of police or military to enforce against any violence. I hope the EC isn't (again) that shortsighted or naive (gain) for the sake of public safety and constitutional right to vote.

[JAG]

accounding the the constitution, the PTP must form a government within 30 days after the general election. So their deadline is the 3rd. Someone is gonna need to count the vote very quickly!

But, a genuine question, is that to be interpreted as 30 days after the day of the election, or, given the disruption inflicted upon the polls, 30 days after the election is completed?

If the former, then a precedent has been set which will ensure that there will never again be an elected government in Thailand. Surely not what the constitution intends?

If enough constituency and party-list seats are filled tomorrow to make up the 95% requirement to allow parliament to sit, will we not be entering an entirely new ball game? Funny that no one seems to have mentioned this anywhere. Or has something slipped past me while I was sipping my Leo?

No, that was the Democrats led by PDRC led by Suthep that tried first to seize illegal power, then seized ballot boxes, then shot voters trying to free those boxes with popcorn gunman, then tried to talk up civil war to get a coup.

You make a lot of false accusations and a campaign speech, but you never tried to get elected.

The old trick of accusing your opponents of your own crimes, is just blah blah blah.

Incidentially that was the same attitude Chalerm Yubamrung had, when he was in exile in Denmark for several years. He and his family were in a near-house-arrest situation, likely for fear they might get exposed or even infected with some "democracy fever". And we all know, what the result was...

Wow, election tomorrow?

Are there any candidates?

Instead of spending money on useless elections should add them to the payments of the rice farmers.

Why useless? The people are being given their opportunity to give their opinion. They can choose to support one of the many candidates running for office. An election poll is far more reliable and binding then these opinion polls. Many of Suthep's allies and friends are running for office in the areas that will be voting. If elected, they can advocate the Suthep platform in the place where it belongs, the legally elected House.

The issue has already been discussed in full detail. There is an allowance for a delay caused due to a named "catastrophe" condition. The civil unrest meets that condition. Without the allowance for catastrophic events, a third party could conceivably block an election and render Thailand to be forever in a condition without an elected government.

The PTP might lose in those circumstances, but I doubt that the Democrats will win. The majority of Thai voters want government spending more evenly spread, meaning out of Bangkok http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2012/05/10/thailand-public-finance-management-review-report, The elites and the Bangkok voters, who the Democrats are dependent on, want the spending to stay in Bangkok.

Oh, and the Democrats have been calling the majority of the voters buffaloes for too long. Not a good campaign strategy.
