Popular Post Scamper Posted April 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Thaksin's options really seem to have dwindled. Now he's got his son posting on facebook. A political solution posted by Thaksin's son suggests a fundamental lack of vision, and suggests that among other things, Thaksin is wildly unsophisticated and naive in how he imagines how he is perceived. What's interesting here, though, is that Thaksin's anger towards the Democratic party still manages to seep through the " apparently " conciliatory language, language that is presumably meant to draw them into the process ! So a rather big failing grade for diplomacy on the core point of the proposal. It's also fascinating that Thaksin's previous claims that an interim prime minister would be unconstitutional seemed to have been abandoned rather quickly. Naturally, Thaksin would never approve of an arrangement whereby anyone other than a family member or close associate was in an interim position, someone who could ensure that reform would simply yet again take on a specifically Thaksin-oriented focus. But at the end of the day, what we are left here is the image of Thaksin - whose options have dwindled so unceremoniously that he is now reduced to having his son make a post in facebook.

mrtoad Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wonder if Oaf wrote this statement out in crayons, or it was a dot to dot statement made by his Convicted Criminal Fugitive Father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Why do the newspapers and media give this shmuck a nano second of attention? Maybe because one day daddy will make him Prime Minister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Wait. The son of a convicted criminal in exile and the nephew of the current incompetent caretaker prime minister is qualified to make a statement on an election? ...or have I just been April 1st punked? Any recommendation from a Shinawatra should be taken with a pinch of salt and ignored ,especially on April fools day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I guess we now await further statements, after all it is a special day for people like Chalerm, Natthuwat, Weng, Thida, Yingluck, Arisman, Kwanchai, Jatta The Hut, Surapong, Noppadon and Plod.

fab4 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 "We should have a process to elect a prime minister to work for a short period during the reforms" Maybe young Oaf should have someone read the constitution for him and explain some of the sections? You keep on deliberately misspelling his name, ruby, I wonder why that is, cheap laughs? Do you not think he can read or understand the constitution, I thought only the PAD and ignorant condescending westerners peddled the cheap jibes about anyone related to Thaksin, the PTP or the UDD as being uneducated?

Sayonarax Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I posted some comments on my facebook wall too. Maybe The Nation should post that as gospel news as well..

Popular Post fab4 Posted April 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2014 Why is he promoting an election of a prime minister? Isn't that what the elections are for, and we all know how elections go in this country without reforms.... don't we.

TVGerry Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sorry kid, we don't really need political advice from the son of a convicted fugitive who had to cheat in his college exams. Someone such as you should just <deleted> and just continue collecting allowance from daddy and mommy. But you're happy to support suthep, Oh my.................. Let's not talk about his father but him alone. Suthep is not 100% honest that's for sure. But anyone who is pathetic enough to have to cheat in his college exams shouldn't be taken seriously and definitely should not be dishing out political advice. Oh my....

Old Man River Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 He does remember which side he's meant to be on. Right.... He knows exactly and I was wondering when he would get involved.

Arkady Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I assume that what he meant was that elections should be held in the normal way but the two largest parties agree in advance that whoever wins will form an interim govt that is focused on introducing reforms and calling for elections within an agreed timeframe. This idea was around in Dec but got few takers from either side, as both thought they could win.

That bitter fool also made the courts work as they should, without intimidation from the PT/reds. That bitter fool stopped the PT/reds from creating a nation of fear. The rule of law will come back.

DLock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> He just provided his two cents in finding a solution. Many smart-ass commenters criticized him when their remarks are not even constructive as his. Anyway, keep on barking. So you are saying that he has the credibility to be taken seriously? Note : this is a loaded question. What part don't you understand? He has right to share his idea. It may not be the ultimate solution, but it's constructive. Take a chill pill and view the world more positively. So you are giving credibility to the statement of the spawn of a convicted felon who was caught cheating on his exams. Aim higher kid. You deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realenglish1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 All joking aside and set aside who made the suggestion It is a good one. Elect a body that will see this thing through for reform . Give it a mandate for a limited period of time that expires on such and such a date regardless of what it has or has not done. This will serve the nation well and give some breathing room to both sides . Think about it just don't reject it off offhandedly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
