Popular Post Ricardo Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) If the article is true, I am flabbergasted. Why Adhisit, would speak with a common criminal on the run? Has he lost it? Surely he's offering to speak to the true leader/owner/thinker of PTP, and his sister the caretaker-PM who currently finds herself in a very difficult situation, in the hope that something positive or acceptable to both sides (and also legal with the E.C. and the Constitutional Court) might emerge from the conversation ? I thoroughly applaud his willingness, as previously in the midst of the 2010-troubles, to do this in public & live on TV, let the people see their various leaders & representatives negotiating on their behalf, or is that too democratic for some ? In particular, will Yingluck be willing to discuss the situation live with no time for briefing, and would Thaksin want to be seen to put the peoples' interests or his own first ? For both those reasons, I rather doubt they will accept Abhisit's proposal, but maybe I'm wrong ? Who's left off the list ? The military and police, CAPO & Chalerm, Suthep & the PDRC, the Red-Shirts, would any of them add much to the talks, or the chance of something positive coming out of them ? What's to lose ?

Popular Post ginjag Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 Chavanond stressed that Abhisit is not doing this in order to seek any political gains but for the good of the country. This is the first lie here. He said the reason Abhisit is seeking a live broadcast of the meetings is so that there would be no distortions about what transpired during the meeting Second lie. Why isn't is other meeting broadcast. Plus why does he need someone to speak on his behalf. Chavanond denied that a remark on Friday by Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), telling mediators not to poke their nose in the matter, was meant as a snub to Abhisit as interpreted by some. He clarified that Abhisit was not a mediator, but was only seeking an end to the crisis. Third lie. He was referring to Abhisit. No doubt about it. "I may not succeed, but I will definitely not cause damage to the country and the people who love this country," tweeted Abhisit. 4th lie. He has already caused damage to the country by boycotting the 2 Feb elections. 5th lie...your whole post! OK, so show where he is allegedly lying. The sentence "5th lie ...your whole post" is not that convincing in the rebuttal stakes, I'm afraid. Typical of what passes for "debate" on this forum by certain posters. One sentence soundbites designed to appeal to hard of thinking. Try a non political topic for once instead of POUNCING on nit picking at posters. Do you only post on politics-and only favour pro government stance. ON TOPIC, do you think it would be in the shins favour to discuss LIVE, or would they be exposed to much. You wanted debate, problem you will twist the topic to suit you--OR ??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already caused damage to the country by boycotting the 2 Feb elections. I think if you open your eyes you we see alot of Thais think he has saved the country by boycotting the election, and bringing the PTP to face the justice they now are Like always there are 2 sides to every penny, and every story and your blinkers make it impossible for you to see not every one agrees with your opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzainoz Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Can't really believe what he says, He said he'd turn up at the EC but that never happened. Anyway wait until he gets the phone call from the sovereign peoples medium. Sutep and his yellow shirt mates down at the park aren't going to like abhisits antics one bit. Trying to find a way through this mess and ignoring his masters voice. Anyway the good thing is that he has done it twice in one week and is slowly putting distance between him mr negative! would not any thing else from your lips when Yingluck goes down are you prepared to go down with her or will you and many other members have new ID's If Yingluck is elected again I will be prepared to state on TVF "I was Wrong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Where did i complain about it not being published ? and i dont hate the guy, i pity him, he has gone from bright young aspiring PM to one of the worst opposition leaders in thailands history in the short space of 8 years, murder charges hanging over his head, boycotting elections , no international support, dwindling domestic support, dwindling support from his party, and a stubbornness never before witnessed in thai politics.. just a few yellow shirt nutters still supporting him. ill remain warily cautious about his proposal. basically i don't trust him due to his pathetic track record but if he does announce something positive and in a democratic direction and willing to be flexible, i will be pleasantly surprised.

Thaddeus Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 True Visions could make this Pay-Per-View. Recoup some revenue lost from the EPL shambles and pay some farmers. Pity it will never happen though, Yingluck wouldn't even bother to turn up, and Thaksin doesn't have the balls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoopyDoo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Lost in the discussion, is a rather remarkable conciliatory and sympathetic statement from the PTP; Pheu Thai deputy spokesperson Anusorn Iamsaaed, meanwhile, said Abhisit should not pressure himself by giving himself only a 10-day deadline to accomplish the task, adding it would be more difficult for Abhisit to deal with PDRC leaders like Suthep I actually believe that some in the PTP want the discussion. Anuson is pointing in the wrong corner as usual, and he should know more than anyone that this has all been discussed and rehearsed between Abhisit and Suthep anyway. It's that game of chess, and it appears that Suthep has managed to get one over on the PTP once again. He was calling for this 3 months ago and was shot down. and now the same but with Abhisit who is in my opinion a lot more articulate than Suthep, but at least it seems to be working and is getting thumbs ups for PTP spokesmen... Now it is up to YL and Thaksin to see if they have got the guts... But seeing as YL isn't even going to meet the EC on Wednesday, I can't see her getting in front of live TV cameras for anything other than accepting flowers from red shirt buffs in Chiang Mai wearing Thaksin and YL t-shirts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scamper Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 A masterstroke from Abhisit, which closely follows a highly visible video tape address that he made earlier this week - that was also similarly well-conceived - and is now being followed by meetings over the course of the week - that is also well thought-out. The beauty of all these proposals is that they all succeed - - even if every last one of them is thrown back in his face. Why ? Because Abhisit is reaching out in a very clear and public way. This latest offer to speak with Yingluck and Thaksin together in live broadcast was likely thought-out well in advance. Abhisit knew that his video would be mocked. And he likely also knew that Suthep would not react warmly either. Take a look at this twitter message from Abhisit : " Abhisit tweeted from his Twitter account @Abhisit_DP yesterday, thanking both supporters and sarcastic detractors regarding his latest bid to help end the current political stalemate. " Abhisit wasn't kidding. In fact, his detractors have helped him more than they possibly could have known. Abhisit knew that his address would receive instant scorn from Pheu Thai, but the mockery tape that Nattawut came up with was likely well beyond Abhisit's wildest hopes. Only Nattawut or anybody else in Pheu Thai doesn't realize it. They have beautifully played into Abhisit's hands. The worse press that Abhisit receives from Pheu Thai and the UDD the better. Suthep has also helped Abhisit here with his reaction, because that very visibly grants Abhisit the distance he needs to establish from the PDRC. Abhisit is aware that this crisis is coming to a head. He knows it's coming to a close. Consequently, he knows that although his current outreach is being viewed with much scorn - now - in three weeks or so - the historical perspective of this outreach may be viewed quite, quite differently. If this situation were to simply fall apart - if for example the Constitutional Court gave a verdict Pheu Thai didn't like, and they resisted it - and the army felt compelled to protect and uphold the court's ruling - an increasingly plausible scenario - the outreach that Abhisit has made would be viewed much more sympathetically. This is not a nakedly political gambit. It has a brilliant political component, to be sure - but that is not the essence of it. The essence of it is that - if it were to succeed - and it could - it would avert a crisis and cool the temperature and pave a path forward. But if were not to succeed, at least he tried - and reached out to an extent that has likely surprised even his greatest detractors ( Thaksin is likely caught off-guard ). In that event, he emerges a statesman. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbamboo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anything is worth a try and it would make a great show. Abhisit is right to insist on a live broadcast for transparency's sake and even if Thaksin joins in on Skype he could more than hold his own against the two Shin siblings as Yingluck will just be repeating what her brother says. Maybe they should invite Oak too, so long as he remembers to keep his crib notes hidden from the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halion Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Although I see the need for the resumption of active dialouge , I fail to see the need or credibility of including Thaksin in such maters. He is a convicted felon with several charges still pending and has no mandate in the affairs of this country.. Dialouge with this hedonistic nepotist only adds credibility to his position. He should be castigated and shunned like the parasite he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
