Pheu Thai welcomes roadmap but not an appointed prime minister

Pheu Thai party will not accept any political roadmap which includes a proposal which goes against the principle of democracy such as the creation of an interim government with a Royally-appointed prime minister, party spokesman Prompong Nopparit said today (Sunday).

Mr Prompong’s remark was in response to a proposed political roadmap worked out by seven independent organizations scheduled to be unveiled on Monday.

He said that the party welcomed the effort of the seven independent organizations to try to find a way out of the political impasse. The party is ready to listen to the independent organizations if their roadmap was based on the Constitution and there was no hidden agenda.

He called on Mr Somchai Srisutthiyakorn, election commissioner and the key figure behind the initiative of the seven independent organizations to clarify the proposed roadmap.

Prompong, meanwhile, criticized the Election Commission for not giving caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra enough time to defend herself regarding corruption in the rice pledging scheme.

He suggested that the EC might have withheld some information from the prime minister’s lawyer claiming that he was told there were more than 49 pages of investigative report regarding the case.

PTP have a right to rules given to them by the Grand Master

Anything that goes against their right to rule is illegal, even if it is legal

We not want any person out see the government to see the books so they can see how great we have been for Thailand

Pheu Thai party will not accept any responsibility for what is does or has done as we have the peoples mandate to rules like the Grand Master has said

Democracy is not a spectator sport, it's a participation sport.

It won't work if most people don't take part.

[Scamper]

Prompong needs to look at Article 7 before he states categorically what the constitution allows. And he ought to be mindful that these independent agencies are empowered by the constitution. The reference to the NACC and the 49 pages is something Prompong knows full well about, as well. Yingluck forfeited the full documentation because she was uncomfortable about showing up at the NACC last month. She was told she would forfeit the evidence if she failed to show up. Her lawyers were told she would forfeit the evidence if she failed to show up. Yingluck failed to show up. Period. The NACC, later however, went out of their way to give her 49 pages of documentation anyway. Remember, Prompong, those are the pages Yingluck needs an extra 45 days to study ? And yet Prompong still complains. He should make his complaints to her lousy lawyers.

Anything that goes against their right to rule is illegal, even if it is legal

We not want any person out see the government to see the books so they can see how great we have been for Thailand

Pheu Thai party will not accept any responsibility for what is does or has done as we have the peoples mandate to rules like the Grand Master has said

It appears to be a simple plea to respect the constitution.

Any roadmap, in order to be acceptable to Pheu Thai, must sit within the bounds of the current constitution.

What's wrong with that?

Because they have broken just about every democratic principle from the election to the present day.

They lie, they steal and they scream 'democracy'.... they have also broken the constitution many times, and constantly refuse to take responsibility, yet the scream everything must be 'constitutional'.

Basically they are clearly taking the piss out of EVERYONE.... that is what is wrong with it.

They have NO right to shout 'democracy' or 'constitution'....... Not them...... no way.

Firstly I support Sutphet to end the Thaksin regime but whatever comes next must be within the constitution and laws. You cannot say well they have broken the law so can we otherwise where does it end.

I haven't been on the moon, I just haven't drunk the Suthepsta Full Moon Party Shroom Shake.

You seemed to be a little worked up over not much.

Respect the constitution. Easy.

The government have not been stellar, but then they've been up against a full court press by an establishment hell bent on sabotage with no regard for the damage they cause.

Just because there has been a whole bunch of accusations (by less than stellar characters) does not mean that they have actually done all you claim.

It appears to be mostly mud slinging by sore losers which is then regurgitated by true believers as fact.

What are you proposing, that in addition to tossing out elections Thailand also toss out the constitution (that has already been skewed to favour the Democrats)

On what basis is the country to be run then? Whatever Suthep says?

Seems like a pretty crazy (non) system you want here.

If I were Thai, I would certainly never accept it.

Thailand already has an appointed Prime Minister. She was appointed by the Thai people......twice.

Simple answer, the PTP have not abided by the rules, broken them ten fold, NOW they expect everyone to respect the constitution, and normally the opposition would. Lets see what the courts say, whoever is left, sort out reform and elections. Had you not flouted the law, and done wonders for Thailand you would not be in your dead end situ.

Thailand already has an appointed Prime Minister. She was appointed by the Thai people......twice.

And a fairly reasonable chance of making it 3 for 3, although more hurdles than in a steeplechase to overcome.

Really??? I think she was appointed by one man (normally residing in Dubai).

[Fryslan boppe]

"....worked out by seven independent organizations scheduled to be unveiled on Monday"

This thing is 'dead on arrival' considering its' source.

The politicized pro-democracy Movement in Thailand put no stock in what they perceive to be Elitist-dependent, influenced and biased so-called independent Agencies. Groups that in their opinion, are being used to nullify their votes, now that the street stuff has fizzled.

I'm totally guessing, but the groups that have contributed to this idiocy probably total far less than 100 people. And those people think they know better than the millions comprising the electoral majority?...Considering their arrogant Elitist roots, they probably do.

Talk about illusions of grandeur.

The PAD-Dem's who are unelectable in their current incarnation, have been actively using these Agencies and the Judiciary as proxies for Parliamentary Opposition. So what makes anyone think they can now pontificate about this stuff.

It is too preposterous to even think about.

The voters who elected this Govt. would go apoplectic if these people were given anything but a cursory acknowledgment.

The most idiotic thing I have heard from them is the notion of what they call a 'nuetral PM"........next thing, they will suggest someone be selected from among those nuetral unelected Senators....Laughable indeed

This continued fantasy that the Red side is all bad and the Yellow side is all good really blows my mind. Even the Pope is out on the global stage admitting the deficiencies of his organisation - but no, not the Suthepsta's in Thailand - nothing but saints and angels here. I guess when your whole existence is based on lies and illegality a huge dose of self denial is to be expected.

She was appointed by about 15,000,000 people in 2011. There's no doubt that she has been appointed again in 2014, since the other horse didn't bother turning up for the race.

Since when do Thai people appoint a PM??? They can elect MP's, but definitely not a PM. It was Thaksin who made her PM.

You mind has blown, full stop.

You speak that anyone speaks the truth about the government flouting their power, is a yellow shirt. your in wonderland.

By now you know the score, whose done what, and when so why are YOU in denial ? All you can counter any government wrongs is by bringing Suthep into the conversation. I do not think some protests have been above board, no way, but look around a bit more. There are people out there who are not siding with any party. I only bash the government the same if I was in the UK, if it is doing wrong.

If the red stood for fair government I would applaud it.

Trying to diminish the electoral underpinning of PM Yingluck smacks of PAD-Dem desperation.

Awright, once more with feeling......The fact Ms. Y. would become PM was totally transparent to voters. There was no doubt in the minds of voters that a vote for PTP, was a vote for Ms. Y.

Thaksin made her PM?.....His involvement in the election was also totally transparent to voters. To 'saw that ole' PAD-Dem saw" about his undue influence is also a red herring.......Every Administration with a PM, from Australia, to Canada, to England, to Thailand etc., will include a collegial approach, with advisors and consultants of every stripe...Some more influential than others......So next time the PAD-Dems' want to play this tune, perhaps they ought to identify who AV's principle advisors, consultants and puppet-masters were.

If Thaksin made Ms. Y. to be PM, who made AV PM?

Don't bother answering that...It is a rhetorical question, and I have no intention to move this into off-topic stuff....Just reacting to comments made and quoted above.

"Appointed by a criminal"

Only in the minds of the coup-makers and their Elitist instigators.

Coup-mongers demonizing those they coup-mongered in order to justify their power-grab, regardless what judicial wrapping they used, do not criminals make.

If that had been the case, the electoral majority who elected Ms. Y would also be complicit, considering Thaksin's transparent involvement in the election.

Of course they don't want any solution that loosens their grip on power even for a second. Apart from anything else neutral parties taking charge of ministries, even temporarily, would have a chance for a good snoop around and would certainly find a lot of skeletons in the cupboards. That would multiply the number of corruption cases against PT politicians and their allies. Besides the big boss in Dubai has ordered them to cling on to power like grim death.

And when the EC and Constitutional Court make a suggestion that is within the law and within the Constitution, PT will reject it out of hand as being unconstitutional and unlawful.

Has PT ever actually accepted anything that the EC or Courts have ever said without complaining about it? Well I guess they have, but only when it favors themselves.
