The strength with which she bursts into tears tells you how much stress she has been under. Remarkable job. I doubt that a real prime minister could keep going under the same conditions.

Another mature, calm, and collected statement by the PM, never allowing herself to be dragged down by the hate mongers.. why these pad/pdrc creeps hate her so much is beyond a reasonable persons comprehension.

First she has no idea what a competent leader qualified to handle national affairs is to be basing her opinion that someone with these qualificationa will be taking her place. Unless of course you consider her a competent who attends meetings and addresses problems within this nation and adheres to law and order and runs the country in a manner that helps all the people. However with her many cases against her and her inexperience in politics and her lack of concern for all parties actions except those against her. Not to mentiom never attending critical meetings nor keeping all thai peoples interests ahead of her and her parties own. Lets see is there more? Why yes there is! Emptying the countries coffers with failed schemes and allowing corruption to continue in those schemes. Also making transfers of personnel so that family members can be in higher positiions. Shall i continue? Because there is more. She is not qualified to run this country so she surely is not qualified to disclose or recommend anothet person. You call her statement mature, calm, and a collective statement? I call it a prepared statement and surely not prepared by her. My guess would be she could not remember the things she said here if you asked her tomorrow.

I want you to know i dont hate YL. I think she just is out of her league and has listened to all the wrong people telling her how to do her job. She doesnt belong in office as PM. Maybe shr would make a goody secretary.

So maybe you are the real hate monger whom cannot accept the facts that she doesnt belong as a PM. Simple huh!

Not at all. Thailand's first Female Premier and she has reason to be proud - she's not a 'great' leader, of course not, but deserves much credit

I'd rather her than some sniveling Abhist who has no ethics and my neighbor's 12 year old shows more leadership than he

would I prefer a better leader? yes of course... but right now there isn't one. The Thai people will never accept their votes being hijacked by the PDRC/Dems - we need a third way - but where is it? not linked to the Ammart or the Shins - corrupt free

but for now she deserves credit where credit is due and all the backbiting and snarling by TVF forum 'experts' will matter naught

[Lupatria]

PM Yingluck is confident that there will be no political vacuum

WHY? Because it’s all in her head.

She also said that there are several high profile figures who are ready to take her position

If so, it makes wonder that the job wasn’t given to one of them in the first place.

[Thai at Heart]

Does she understand what a vacuum is? and no its not a Dyson.

Your first line is absolutely ridiculous.

Your second line no matter who's side your on is, your spending too much time learning with your neighbours son.

Your third line is--you don't know of one. but you said we need a third way-"not linked to the Shins" corrupt free I agree with this.

Your fourth line, credit for what ??? come on be truthful what has she done in 3 years ??? This is why TVF "experts" are snarling.

got a questions for you, why are yellow shirt supporters so intolerant and bully like against those with different political options ? seems to be a pattern, on the streets with sutheps thugish "guards", on the political field, and on the internet . feeling proud of yourselves ?

Nice of her to make a comment rather than just post an edict on face book,

Do you think she has a view on the outrageous attempts at intimidation and veiled threats of violence in the recent CAPO statement and browbeating of civil servants? And the hornets nest that it's stirred up?

Or maybe she can clarify why farmers are still waiting payment despite her vow they would be several weeks ago?

Or express her views on why apparently so many of her cabinet and political party are traveling to Hong Kong to meet her criminal fugitive older brother?

Or say when, if ever, she intends to answer the Ombudsman on the passport her cousin illegally issued to her fugitive brother?

That anyone still believes she is of any consequence, makes any decisions or is involved in anything to do with really running the country is beyond a reasonable person's comprehension.

I have a question for you moonao. Guess who posted the following? Surely it wasn't a person that is intolerant and bully like.

So is this the great last stand of Suthep and the 15 grandmas , a handful of thugs and bullies, and a few fascist loonies ? yawn.

Why? What has she actually done over the last few months? Hide away, appear when instructed and repeat what she was told to say. Some good acting, with tears and sad faces true enough. Milking the bad ankle for sympathy was a bit farcical - need a better continuity person.

Absolutely no leadership, political debate or attempt to robustly defend herself against the charges she faces. Everything just delegated to someone else.

She is a very very wealthy woman, who enjoys a lifestyle most on this planet could only ever dream of. She doesn't have a care in the world - she knows nothing bad will happen to her. The worst - she may get banned from politics for 5 years - just like lots of family members in the past. So what.

She is no more interested in democracy than any NK leader ever has been. Simply does has she's told by big brother. And with the mega increase in family fortune over the last couple of years she must be very happy to do so.

[WhizBang]

She also said that there are several high profile figures who are ready to take her position should she step down, stressing that there would not be a political vacuum as the individual assuming her role would be guaranteed to be competent in administering national affairs.

So that lets out any members of the PTP then.

Just to point out ,there are few yellow shirts around, your a bit dated.

It is not other peoples different political options, we all have our opinions, it is the denial you all have about the way the country has been managed.

I have no denial problems like you. I see it all as black or white, you either condone the corrupt government , or you slam it as being that.

Maybe you can understand that, if not-- sorry. Not forget we are not all yellow. Many look at the situation and assess it as viable or not. your view seems to be you think the PM is brill and the PTP are good government.

[moonao]

my view is that the will of the electorate should be respected, instead of hissy fits on the streets and bullying by minority groups that support the worst, most pathetic opposition parties in thailands history

My view is the same ---IN NORMAL circumstances. At times it has to take these minorities to bring forth the behind the scenes activities by the elected government, that are bringing the country to it's knees.

The other point is the opposition, pathetic/ worst/ why ??? because they didn't form a coalition to be in government--cause that's all PTP did. It is not how bad the opposition is --it is how bad the government WAS.

Had they governed cleanly-transparent- and had good policies making the Thai people happy look where they wood be now. In for a second turn, little opposition to bother about.

GOT GREEDY DIDN'T THEY. had too much power.

I see your point but what concerns me is the final sentence.

"She also said that there are several high profile figures who are ready to take her position should she step down, stressing that there would not be a political vacuum as the individual assuming her role would be guaranteed to be competent in administering national affairs."

I think it's been proven that is a lie.

The PTP didn't form a coalition to be in government. They had enough seats to form a government on their own. The coalition came after.

There already is a political vacuum and its between dear Poo's ears

I would class that more as a black hole , there's enough space in her head for an entire solar system.

Ha and did what with that number, they formed a government --if that is what you called it. LOOK at IT so with this power and strength I asked again what did they do in the last 3 years to be labeled a good government---list the goodies please--never an answer---pathetic argument from some posters that feel denial a clever gift.

What % of the vote did the PTP get ?????

. . . the individual assuming her role would be guaranteed to be competent in administering national affairs.

. . . as opposed to the present incumbent.
