TimCM Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Strange sounds emanating from Bangkok in the past 24 hours: canine noises from the barking mad PDRC leadership and an odd bounding noise coming the direction of the Constitutional Court, which sounds for all the world like a Kangaroo Court in session. The world's media is lining up to make fun of this court today. An example: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304431104579547340574302518 But the rest of the world is supporting the yellows The terrorist sutheps supporters here said so I wonder what it is like living in a yellow world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimCM Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 And why the protesters new government would have any "legitimacy"? Are you asking a question? And why WOULD the protesters new government would have any "legitimacy"? Because if you are, the answer is clearly not. Their government would have as much legitimacy as one proposed by you or I. But I guess it gets boring out there in the park so they need to play some sort of games to help pass the time. But not as much as Mango Bobs. He already has 3 votes from TV members which is good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I don't know what is the bigger mess, the situation the country is in or the ridiculous and/or nonsensical posts on this thread! Completely agree, but with this the ongoing marches and the recent deceleration by the PDRC, this seemed appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubl Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Gen Prayuth was very vocal on the call for Lanna State but silence on this illegal government. The 'Lanna State' would separate Thailand into smaller pieces. As General Prayuth cannot sit still when people hold rallies for that (and even have government members present). The government which the PDRC may propose would need approval of the Senate. Also there is no separatist talk. So why would the general speak out now? It's like the Pheu Thai spokesman tactic. I accuse and challenge you to prove my accusation is wrong. Yellow logic. Both are illegal declaration and should be equally condemned by the army chief. lack of logic, but then you're only trying to help an embattled decimated caretaker government aren't you? The General doesn't have to do anything. Even his condemnation of the 'lanna state' remarks were seen by some as pure bias and antigovernment attitude. Double standards, thy name is Thaksin/Pheu Thai government supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimCM Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 And why the protesters new government would have any "legitimacy"? Well, unlike the Pheu Thai the anti-government protesters tends to follow laws a bit more strictly. So we need to follow this from the OP: "was not immediately clear what legal basis their vow draws on, but the Thai constitution has an article which may enable the appointment of a new executive body by the Senate" Kidnapping, assault, corruption, extortion, blocking people right to vote and treason, yep they follow the law perfectly. Feel free to join us on planet earth one day my friend. Are you also saying that a group of terrorists in Lumpini park are now the senate?, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 this is absolute bullsh*t, they are juast as bad as rhe reds now thinking that they have the right to tell people what they are and are not allowed to do. They did what they set out to, remove yl and some of the ministers but now they need to let the country sort this out legally as do the reds. It is only the extremists on both sides that are going to cause problems, the leaders need to show some backbone and make sure that violence does not start up. Why the surprise? This has been their intention all along. Get rid of the elected government and usurp power for themselves without consulting the people. It's getting increasingly difficult for the Yellows on TVF to remain behind their veil of ignorance. Again, funny how reality eventually intrudes into the lives of even the most deluded and ignorant of those amongst us! Ha! There is more truth than lies in what you say...but I still think both sides are liars (not a popular opinion, but I hate popularity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzainoz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Suthep can say what he wants, and there are people who will say that Suthep has said this or that or another when he did not these things at all At the moment many members and members of PTP who are putting words in to Sutheps mouth But there is one fact only Suthep can not appoint a self appointed PM Fake words now? Is this one of those situations like when he said he claimed sovereign power for his "movement", people like you denied he said that, only for him to turn up the very next day and retract the sovereign claim? By the way if such a thing as a self appointed PM existed, the only person able to appoint that person would be that self appointed PM - the clue is in the words. But you're quite right, "Suthep can not appoint a self appointed PM" some people love to twist the facts he said he claimed sovereign power for his "movement", only for him to turn up the very next day and retract the sovereign claim? The way I read it is h eturned up and denied he said that, and his comments where twisted from the truth of what he said Now we all know tell enought lies and hope some on believes you The old PTP is gone now my friend time to find a new story to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, funny how reality eventually intrudes into the lives of even the most deluded and ignorant of those amongst us! And how long do you expect an unelected government to be tolerated by the Thai people and Internationally. They aren't the military, after all. Unfortunately PT is owned by Thaksin. It is HIS party. If that were not the case, a lot of PT would drop them like a hot stone and form their own party. Perhaps that explains the rush for a new election - to stop them jumping ship. I'd fully support PT in absence of their dirty corrupt politicians. I'm sure they have lost a lot fo support, but still not enough for the Dems to win an election (never did much to help the poor, or at least it was not advertised). I'd predict the balance of power will be with minority parties. Maybe. Maybe not. Suthep may very will have driven many more millions over into the Red camp. Perhaps the Thai people will hand an overwhelming and uncontestable majority to the Reds as a way to finally bring this stalemate to a decisive end. Remember Thaksins' popularity peaked at 375 out of 500 seats (2005) - who's to say it won't return to these astronomical levels?27 Only an election will reveal all. The sooner one is held the better. Have you ever thought one of the reforms maybe to re-balance the areas of voteing base The electoral district boundaries are determined by a distribution process which provides for an approximate equal number of electors in each electoral district. A margin of allowance of plus or minus 10% of the average enrolment is permitted. so they may feel the present numbers of red shirts in one area is to high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 "After the Constitutional Court's decision yesterday.... the government has lost all legitimacy and any claim it has to govern the country." This I agree. What I question is, what legitimacy does the protestors have in appointing a new government? This is just being like their red brothers and sisters - doing what it damn well pleases, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
