Next Election May Take Place '1-2 Years' From Now

[northernjohn]

This guy says so that an election can take place in an orderly and peaceful manner. Presumably, the Thai army can assure that right away.

Second he says so that "and" a universally accepted government can be formed.

That's out of whack. The election "is" the universally accepted government.

Once they start start to distinguish that there is a difference between these two - that gets back to the old problem that it is not the voice of the people. (all Thais, rich or poor, dark or light, buddhist or muslim, property owner, or shack dweller, land owner or ordinary farmer.

Are you blind deaf and speech impaired? If

"The election "is" the universally accepted government"

How come we have this mess today we had an election and apparently it is not never was and never will be the universally accepted government

Look out your window man or get some one to describe it for you.

I look forward to reading their dissolution and press license revocation.

This report is a load of old codswallop designed to inflame the situation, and it gave all the red farangs a political hard on.... says it all.

[ggold]

After the threats by the red shirt "Uncle Yim" on his FB page one might be forgiven for suggesting free and fair elections will be along long way away yet. This shows the lack of intellect being displayed by them. They yearn for elections, they will fight and die for elections, but they threaten the lives of opposition leaders in the same breath thus ensuring and proving that elections are not going to happen soon.

This is why elections may be 2 years away.

I mean where do you get this from, is there a facebook page for PDRC bile or something?

what hypocracy

[heybruce]

It's only a democracy if my guys get elected. If the other guys are elected then it's a dictatorship and the election was a fraud. I know the election was a fraud because my wife's cousin saw somebody buying votes at a polling station, but she doesn't know for which candidate, and that's all the proof I need. That's why we can't have elections until the process is fixed reformed so that my guys will get elected. Until then we are better off under a military dictatorship interim government.

Anyway the majority agrees with me, but we can't have an election to prove it.

[Exsexyman]

This is what you get when you don't vote in the correct people time after time after time.

You get bitch slapped and all voting rights removed.

The Thai people have been electing the wrong governments again and again. The army and the courts job is to put the government that should have been elected, in place. I think that's how it works!

[Mentors]

Exactly what the paranoid Yellow wants. Time. Time to pass the very big happening Day ahead. Clear for the first day back after the election in 2001.

Poor Thailand. They cannot bring the clock on hold. Even this new Coup is not able to doing it.

It may well take more than two years to root out all the corruption associated with the multi-billion baht scams PTP foisted on the country. And that should be part of the process of a fair election--full knowledge before the election of where the money went, who got it, and who accepted payoffs and bribes.

Would you apply that to only the most recent government or the one before also? Im thinking in particular the billions of baht Suthep stole with his Palm Oil antics?

I'm sorry you're disappointed with the situation. But reform is coming. Root out all the thieves, anywhere and everywhere. I think there are lots of people in the country at every social stratum who are desperate to see things change and have hope for the future. Clean the stables.

to include the army as well one hopes ... just a wee problem that the poacher is also the gamekeeper in this instance. A relative is a mid ranking soldier who has an income stream from the army ballot - I think it is about 6k to get out of it. Quite an income stream it is as well. He would rather not take it - but wouldn't be good to be the odd one out , goody two shoes in the regiment. And therein lies the problem the army is a fundamental part of the problem - but they have guns,tanks, soldiers and intelligence. So might is right as was ever thus sadly. Democracy doesn't get a look in at the table of the power brokers. One lives in hope ...as it is the only way to live...

nah , they will offer a graft immunity to all so the whole 2 sides of blood sucking leeches can restart it all over again..... they just cant stop, greedy selfish shits, inherent in Thailand

[tullynagardy]

Do you feel elections can be free and fair when the PTP/UDD threaten opposition leaders.

The PDRC have picketed PTP homes and threatened toround them up if they dont resign. Do you think they can be free or fair like this?

Your moronic posts are so boring. Supporting one side like a football team, ignoring the same faults on the other side, its just so sad and pathetic.

Right... We all know that military governments are great at rooting out corruption. Just look how clean Burma was with the military in charge.

The military is still in charge but will probably have a new military coup in the next 3 to 4 months

Awesome. Military runs the country with martial law for the next 2 years.

Bad for Thais. Good for foreigners. The Thai Baht will fall and fall and we'll all have more money every week.

As opposed to what, another 3 or 4 years of people standing on stages yelling into microphones and shaking their fists in the air..... a never ending stream of Exploding grenades and an overload of rhetoric. The situation was never Improving as there were self centred meat heads in all sides.....boof head in one,corner and another boof head in the other..... bit like dumb and dumber.

Don't ruin Democracy with an election. Marshall law is the lesser of three evils. Not everyone should get a vote.

[TimCM]

Hopefully for the people of Thailand this will result in some serious sanctions. How anyone can think this is not a coup is beyond reason.

What would you say if the army took over like this in your own countries?

You want serious sanctions on Thailand. And you think that will help! Jeeze!

Targeted sanctions against those involved including asset freezes and restrictions on movement. Similar to the way they have been applied against Russia.

Other sanctions may also be needed at a later stage as they would be effective as Thailand is so dependent on the outside world

I think it is time to listen to the majority, even if you don't like it.

Elections as soon as possible is the answer.

Limiting who the people can vote for is not democracy. If the people are not allowed to vote for anybody who is associated with a certain family, then where do you stop?

What if the person that is being voted for is an accused mass murderer, accused terrorist, convicted criminal fugitive that uses a proxy to get into power? They voted for "Thaksin thinks, Pheu Thai Acts" in other words they voted for "An accused terrorist,accused mass murderer, convicted criminal fugitive thinks, the criminals sister acts" (who turned out to abuse power to)

Do you feel reform would be needed to ensure that does not happen or you feel that the ballot box should be held hostage by a party that ensure that they keep the farmers poor and desperate so they ensure the accused mass murderer, accused terrorist, convicted criminal fugitive can continue to lead the foragers in perpetual poverty while saying they are helping them?

Please I beg you to rebut the comments I made instead of belittling me. Belittling me is easy.

Rebutting posts is where intelligence shines.

What if every time the people of Thailand vote for a person that is not to the Ammarts liking the next step is always to accuse them of being corrupt or appearing on a cooking show or moving a civil servant that refuses to work with them.

The people vote, the Ammart remove the government and the people vote again. We both aggree that the cycle needs breaking, we just disagree on how to do it.

There have been many references to voters being like children, if you constantly take the children's sweets away then they will just demand that they get the sweets back.

The way for long term change is to let governments run for the whole term and then campaign against them with better policies.

Dr. heal thyself.

Getting elected is not a license to break the laws and violate the constitution.

[somjitr]

People who believe that a benevolent military dictator will set the country right on track to prosperity should study a little bit of modern Thai history, preferably from a source that isn't restricted by anti-free-speech laws. What's happening now is not some novel solution to a unique political crisis. Similar things have happened many many times before, enough to conclude that dictatorship doesn't solve anything.

Name the last military dictator. Also how they over threw him.

Also what makes you think they are going to have a dictatorship.

I know they all ready have one but I am talking about a military one.

Maybe in stead of studying history you should be paying attention

to it as it is being made.

The most notable ones were Sarit and Thanom-Prapas. Sarit died and transferred the power to Thanom and Prapas. Their regime fell due to public discontent and student activists (after they killed lots of them of course). There is a little more to the story but I'll omit it for obvious reasons.

As to why I believe they're going to have a dictatorship. Election is nowhere in sight. Freedom of the press is gone. Academic freedom is gone. They're targeting social media next. Without freedom of expression, it's half a dictatorship already. Of course, they're not gonna have a blatant full-blown despotic regime because of international reactions. But I am sure people will not have their democratic rights for a while.

If you think the last government was a dictatorship, keep in mind that we could criticize them. We could sue them. We could refuse to vote for them. Right now under martial law, there is only one option -- to comply.

[Dr Bruce]

Dr. heal thyself.

Getting elected is not a license to break the laws and violate the constitution.

When the constitution was imposed by a gerrymanderd vote after the last Ammart coup, the people should be allowed to change it. The constitution was crafted to ensure that the Ammart still kept some control.

Good for everybody. Stringent laws and stringent enforcement -- that's what made Singapore what it is today and what could possibly make Thailand realize its potential.

Singapore is also much smaller than Thailand. And no, I wouldn't want to live there.

These are some of the foreign media that have published full length complete news stories of the Army led imposition of martial law in Thailand.

Let's say is true about the 12-24 month timeline. What will happen then?

We'll my opinion is it will hurt business and ocomemy in Thailand very most. I know Thailand is called "Teflon Thailand" but still I want to prepare for possibly breakdown.

The stock marked yesterday went up about 1% and the baht was stronger. Wish is good for Thailand, but it was foreigner invested stock and bond there was selling and local investors there was buying.

But if we read foreigner media like japan and one of the big investors ,there has invested about $10 billion they are very concern about this. If you are a investor and can't see any solution for a periods of time for the next 12-24 month, you will find new places, wish mean they will pull out the investment.

Another warning light is the tourism.

If the tourist don't come to Thailand it will hurt the macro ocomemy. TAT say about 26 mill will visit Thailand this year wish is a lot tourist.

We hear already about everywhere. Drop in hotel reservation, small restaurant don't have customers, tuk tuk drivers complain, tour guide companies and so on. This is hurting the hard working thai every day there has to support the family. Think about the family there has a marked stand to sell tourist stuff. They will have a hard time to survive.

The prices on food is raising, LPG cooking gas and again so on so on.

So for me, I see a very hard time for Thailand if this is going on for 1-2 years.

What is yours opinion from a positive view?
