But it's amusing to see her get double whammied immediately after losing her prime ministership! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dr Bruce Posted May 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2014 So now we have the Prime Minister position that can be taken away if the incumbant fails to stop corruption. In future they will not have to prove that any corruption has taken place or name the people who have been corrupt. Seems like there will never be a stable government in Thailand again. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coup clowns don't have the required 3/5 of the senate vote. There will be no impeachment. With the Senate being 49% appointed by the Ammart the numbers are very close with slightly more than 60% favouring the old-guard. Thailand needs reform and the first reform should be an elected senate. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaidam Posted May 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2014 Impeach her? She's gone already. She is gone, but still needs to be punished. I'm guessing she will get a fine of around 600 billion(or however much it is found that her clan have stolen from the Thai people) and with any luck a lengthy prison sentence to deter any future politician from emptying the state's coffers to enrich their family in such an arrogant and blatant manner.

Popular Post moonao Posted May 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2014 Their are claims that the NACC are corrupt, bias agency that are abusing their powers. Most people wouldn't disagree with that assessment. Once the dust is settled, hopefully justice is served to the members of this group and they go behind bars. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bruce, we the cynical old expat farts here have seen it all, and we expect little to actually change when the Shins are gone; however, I think you will see a more stable government sometime in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
