Popular Post JRSoul Posted May 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2014 Most political parties would never consider nominating people on bail and facing serious criminal charges. OTOH, when the party is owned by a fugitive criminal, and the offences were committed on his orders, it is to be expected. As these gentlemen are not known for their altruism, I have to wonder what the more lucrative proposition has been offered. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chainarong Posted May 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well these pair of Sh!!theads have caused some sadness in their day , one hopes that they do not force their style of democracy onto the centre stage of Thailand politics and stay away as has beens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siripon Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Jatupon is head of the UDD so it doesn't look good for Thaksin when a Party List MP starts ranting and raving about violence.Much easier for Thaksin to shrug him off as not being connected- Thaksin always likes a multii prong approach to get what he wants a legit political party, street protestors/ rioters, bribes-lunch boxes to judges,etc No doubt Jatupon will be well paid in his fight for Shinawat supremacy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xminator Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 So we have one that says its lack of spine, the other that now they will be arrested with no immunity. Can the no brain section of this forum please make up their minds? I have a third option. The 5 year bans of 2008 is gone for a lot of Thaksin allies. There might not be room for Jaturporn and Weng in parliament anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangrel Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Besides these two, there's no mention of the other ten Red Shirt Leaders/Pheu Thai Party MP's, so presumably they will be Party-list MP's again. Edited May 8, 2014 by gangrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scamper Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If this is meant to affect a kind of face-lift for Pheu Thai, it won't do much of anything, though it is more likely that this sends a signal that the UDD is going to get tough, because Jatuporn - as head of the UDD - will insist on remaining visible. Proof positive also that Yingluck was essentially at the mercy of all who advised her is the fact that since yesterday all the signals from Pheu Thai remain exactly the same - going after the Constitutional Court and acting unilaterally from the hip. One must take, though, a step back and realize that the Pheu Thai administration is now essentially in a dingy being battered by tumultuous seas. They've nominated a prime minister by means of nothing found in the constitution - a prime minister who now oversees half a cabinet, who has no legislative power, who has no parliament, and who has no public mandate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 "They said they would focus on fighting for democracy with red-shirt people so they would not contest for a House seat." Then again, they might consider standing on a UDD-party slate, and abandon the listing/damaged Shinawatra/PTP ship ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidavey Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Aw, daddy (Thaksin) couldn't bank roll their campaign funds? Perhaps daddy knows that he'll be wasting his money on two clowns.
