jalansanitwong Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The nickel and dime lawyer better watch out . Chalerm will issue a real arrest warrant for dopey. Who in their right mind would even entertain the idea of actually arresting Chalerm ? Did anyone else on this forum see Chalerm as he marched past all the cops at the airport and hugged his fugitive (alleged cop killer) son Duangchalerm? No one dared touch his son. You dont mess with the big boss of west Bangkok. Everyone loves him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ramrod711 Posted March 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2014 Chalerm recently signed an order to deport Satish, president of the India-Thai Business Association, for allegedly inciting illegal activities under the emergency decree and leading members of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) in raids on several state agencies. I don't know if Satish did these things, it is of no real consequence to me. If he did, let the courts or which ever government agency is responsible rule on the issue. What does concern me is the patent disregard PTP has for the law. We won an election, we can do whatever we want is the attitude, laws are for the protection of everyone and must be respected. When Chalerm disrespects a court ruling he should be punished. The government has ignored the Constitution, the courts, the laws and wasted the peoples money, be gone I say. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean? Worse than Yoda Sent from my Nexus 4 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app What I mean Thait Spot, is the easy access to "user-friendly" courts for PAD-Dem's.....They can come up with any challenge to the PTP elected Govt., and their courts will accept them.....Even when it is clearly Opposition folderol one would expect from any Opposition-type circumstance in a Parliamentary Democracy. The Judiciary in effect enables what ought to be challenges in Parliament, via the courts. It gives the Opposition relief outside parliament....Exactly what the unelectables want. It would be more proper that they be turned back by this judiciary, and told to take it to Parliament.....And then when they bleat "Parliamentary Dictatorship", they be told to adapt themselves to a diverse Thai electorate and win an election. That way they can establish their own "parliamentary Dictatorship". I have no problem with an electoral majority enacting an agenda and policy platform on the basis of which they have been elected. ....If some want to call that "Parliamentary Dictatorship" so be it......Works fine in the Parliamentary systems of Australia, Canada, England, etc.......And sure beats the USA system of congressional gridlock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunla Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It wastes more valuable time, time which could and should be spent on improving the lives of normal working Thais. We have reached and breached the silly stage long ago and are now just bumbling along aimlessly while important infrastructure work etc. is left unattended, in my humble opinion.

I'm not saying that's right and without looking into it more it does seem strange. The thing is you can't enforce one rule by breaking another and by doing this it will just add to the impression that the PTP only obey laws they like. Better to back off and wait. Much better PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" We won an election, we can do whatever we want is the attitude, laws are for the protection of everyone and must be respected..." I'm amazed Farangs are so confused about the prerogatives of an elected Parliamentary majority...... Unless we are dealing here with agenda.....Like the saying goes, "When agenda walks in the door, common sense walks out" Of course an elected Parliamentary Majority can enact the mandate on the basis on which it was elected. And can enforce laws/regulations per their interpretation. If the Opposition disagrees, kick up a storm in Parliament, and get voters on their side come next election. That is the beauty of the Parliamentary system, over against the USA system prone to Congressional gridlock. For the Opposition to denigrate that power under whatever narrative, then win a dam_n election. The quote above implies that this electoral prerogative ought to be curtailed, with predictable unelectable rhetoric The key point however....Is the electorate the next election......If the Opposition thinks the ruling majority is off on some power-trip, they forget the coming power-trip by the voters. But being anti-democratic, they wouldn't grasp that reality....Preferring to denigrate Parliamentary democracy by calling it "Parliamentray Dictatorship".

You may well be right but it's probable that this case is fairly simple in that a court order seems to have been broken that they couldn't do much else.
