Pheu Thai to meet the EC without preconditions



BANGKOK: -- The Pheu Thai party will send a top representative to a meeting wth the Election Commission on April 22 and will not set any preconditions for the meeting, said Mr Noppadon Pattama, an executive committee member of the party, on Tuesday.

The private lawyer of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra affirmed that the best option for the country to resolve the long-running political conflict was to let the people to choose their own future and to set the course of the country through the ballot boxes in a free and fair manner.

Citing the preconditions that the party used to set before meeting with the EC such as the Democrat party must attend the meeting too and that the meeting must be televised live, Mr Noppadon insisted that this time there were no such preconditions or any other preconditions from the party.

He said that the election must go on no matter what would be result of the Constituional Court regarding the future of caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra regarding the case of National Security Council chief Thawil Pliensri.

On the move by a group of people to propose the invocation of Article 7 of the Constitution to appoint a interim prime minister, Mr Noppadon said the proposal was beyond the scope of the Constitution and there was no justification for its invocation.

Once again we see Thaksin telling PT what to do and when and how.

More than a puppeteer, the ruler of Thailand from afar.

[patjem]

So, there's your answer, Dems..... we take it you will attend also now anyway?

[PatOngo]

Thailand is destined to be ruled by the very people they failed to give an adequate education......they say in politics, you get what you deserve!

PTP showing leadership... let's hope a new date is set for elections and the PDRC thugs are kept at bay

if the Dems do not fight another election it will be another nail in their political coffin

Well, we know that Thaksin's personal lawyer is no legal source for what the Constitutional Court can or cannot do, any more than his outspoken client is. The Constitutional Court knows very well how Article 7 is worded, as well as Articles 172 and 173, and indeed all the articles in the constitution. It needs not take any cues from Thaksin's prime spokesman. On the subject of Article 7, how could it - in Noppadon's words - be " outside the scope of the constitution ? " It's in the constitution ! How can something that's in the constitution suddenly find itself outside of it ? ( Answer - when Thaksin doesn't like it. ) But Thaksin doesn't like most things that are decided in a court of law. Why should his attitude be any different now ?

This disingenuous acceptance of going to the meeting without conditions is terribly funny as Thaksin knows full well that Abhisit has already publicly accepted without conditions. That having been said, it surprises no one that Yingluck won't attend. She seems to be shielded from everything. It will be interesting to see who the " top executive " is that goes to the meeting, all the same. Surapong ? Chalerm ? Sadly, they are likely among the " top executives " that are being considered.

Showing leadership ?

I note however that they are not going to sent their leader.

Lets hope that PT can control their red thugs should any court verdict go against them, assuming of course they want to control them and not encourage them.

[kurtgruen]

Hasn't anybody noticed the lies? This article makes it sound like the PT had preconditions that the meeting be televised, when in fact that was the conditions the Democrats had, in order to keep things transparent to all people.

[toryboy1979]

Whatever it takes there must be no election before reforms are put in place. The powers that be must ensure that the criminal giving his orders from his desert palace is told he is not wanted. If there is an election prior to the reforms then the past months of sacrifice of Kuhn Suthep and his people will have been for nothing and the curruption of the PTP will continue unabated.

The Dems must state categorically that they will take part in a new election subject to the reforms being put in place and it might be time to replace Kuhn Abhsit as the leader because he is tainted - rightly or wrongly - (wrongly in my opinion) by the events of 2010 and no matter what the court decides when they hear the charges against him the people of Issarn will never accept him, as in their eyes his is guilty because of the propaganda put out by the 'reds'.

PTP showing leadership will be when they rein the red thugs.

Can we get a positive response from the PTP leader in Thailand , instead of some over indulged trumped up lawyer from Thaskin Shinawatra, dictating what the PTP will do , it appears on the face of it , the PTP cannot make decisions, so you have just taken possibly a fatal step at reconciliation.

Let me rephrase, what that sneaky backstabbing Thaksin lawyer means:

"let the people!hardcore redshirt mercenaries choose their own future and to set the course of the country through the ballot boxes in a free and fair manner continue to terrorize everyone who is against Thaksinocracy and maintain the rest of Thailand hostage to keep the vote buying and vote terrorizing going."

mr speaker i refer the gentleman to my previous post..

[dinooz]

Why not have a referendum on reform before or after elections ? Have say two weeks of televised debate and every party puts forward the reforms necessary, set up ATM,s to accept a ID no. so people don't have to go home to vote,no intimidation as they wont have to vote the village line and can vote at their leisure over say a week.No campaigning,no bullying.To me its the only way out of this mess.The dems should agree as their bitch about unfair electorates should be nullified and the ptp should agree because the vote is their mantra.

Is that a problem?

Ruler of Thailand from afar...Better than coup-maker rule from close by.

At least one has electoral credentials....the other one a swift electoral boot in the hind end, when they finally dared to hold an election. After they thought they had demonized Thaksin sufficiently to make him and his local political elements irrelevant.....WRONG!

[marcusd]

They said hold elections in a free and fair manor....

They would not WI, elections if they did not buy the crooked votes

"Lets hope that PT can control their red thugs"

PAD-Dem's denigrating red shirts when they have never met one, but believe the agenda they are fed.

Talk about being out-of-control....Look no further than Lumpini for that.

So you are saying that if we want to see an out of control red we should look at LP - so they got there when they are out of control - you do realise that people have been going there shooting protestors. Are you suggesting that there is a connection?

"reconciliaton'?...... With arrogant PAD-Dem's who denigrate their political opposites, fomenting hatred and driving more and more nails into their electoral coffin every day.....Reconciliation?....laughable and ludicrous...Electoral and Parliamentary Democracy will regulate matters..Forget reconciliation fuzzy-wuzzies..End of story..

And PAD-Dem's are desparate to avoid an election...I prefer advocating for an election I am sure to win, then striving to avoid one for fear of losing.

A question of winners and losers, you see!

For crying out loud, try another angle this ones got whiskers on, your getting very boring indeed. Tell your elected party you have an idea they have done something wrong, and NOT carried out their electoral promise .

You have been asked a thousand times give us a list of their wonderful achievements. I have a good idea you will not, because seriously I am trying to put my finger on things they have done since elected BY YOUR LANDSLIDE.
