'Democracy has died in Thailand today': Thai ex-PM Yingluck

Featured Replies

She will emerge as the true heroine in all of this eventually. Shame on those unelected 'appointees' and shame on some TVF 'pundits' for supporting a military junta and be careful what you wish for

The only thing I wish for is better days for this country we live in.

For 7 years now I've been hearing and witnessing social unrest, killings, corruption disrespect for any law, disrespect for the Thai citizens.

For the past 6 months tranquility and enforcement of the law is taking place.

You, Sir, better take the blinkers you are wearing off and Thank the current government for what they are achieving.

Rhetorics is a cheap way to express yourself.

  • 'Democracy has died in Thailand today': Thai ex-PM Yingluck that was actually May 22... NCPO tells Yingluck not to hold press conference and basic rights like freedom of speech went with it.

  • What did she ever do for Democracy?

  • Only the junta can hold a press conference. Her freedom of speech has been denied. Shame on this junta for being so one sided with one voice. And not the voice of the people.

Democracy died the day you and your party started abusing power for your ends,

when you started invalidating parliamentary votes and holding them again because one of your MPs forgot to vote the right way,

the day you started using your street thug redshirt militia to silence opposition,

the day you started covering up the inept manner of your handling of the rice scheme,

the day you began ignoring the rules of parliamentary debate and procedure.

so many other days while you and the other lords and ladies of misrule held sway.

What we have now may not be democracy, but do not kid yourself that it died with you facing the consequences of your abuse of your role as leader of the country.

2 sides in this 10 year debate.

Now it's the other sides turn and they're clearing the decks.

Fairness, democracy, free speech, are not part of this process.

When it's time for a vote; the tables will be turned and we'll start again.

Absolute clownish behaviour, it's bad enough that she will never be sent to jail because for her performance as (proxy) PM and head of the rice scheme which lost 1000's of tons of rice and hundreds of billions of baht in taxpayer cash merit an incredibly heavy sentence.

Her inane and myopic comments could be seen quite clearly as a call to arms by those uneducated enough to not see the bigger picture, and more pertinently the way her ministers raped the country for their benefit. This impeachment has nothing to do with democracy, it in fact has everything to do with gross ineptitude as a puppet PM, nonexistent leadership qualities displayed as head of a rice scheme and a complete inability to demonstrate specifically how she did govern effectively.

For speeches like this alone she should go in the can. Horrendous / shameless spin from a dangerously stupid, yet powerfully connected bimbo. I await the NCPO response and i hope it includes gagging future ill informed rants

any disrespect for Thai citizens comes straight from YOU and your disrespect for the millions who voted, since 2001, for the government THEY wanted

tranquility by the gun? unelected appointees impeaching the ex-PM?

you, Sir, are mad or bad and I can't decide which

With all the business shopping trips whilst in office, she must have accrued a huge amount of air miles.. laugh.png

Stupid woman, it never was alive...

I only saw full scale vote buying and the attempt to destroy the separation of power since I am in Thailand and it didn't start with Thaksin.....

Obviously leading an illegal coup is a far less serious crime than winning the mandate of the voters. This place gets more like animal farm all the time, Prayuth is like Napoleon and any election winner Snowball, to be persecuted with a trumped up charge and hopefully chased off the farm. What happened to 'reconciliation'? or was that just for some of the pigs biggrin.png

Personally I could not care less. Why? Because my opinion or vote is not wanted or counted and my living has not changed or been affected no matter who was or is or will be in power.

The only ones who really care are the elite, who did not want to loose grip on power and the farmers who wanted hand outs, for the rest of thai it's nothing but a useless waffle

Only the junta can hold a press conference. Her freedom of speech has been denied. Shame on this junta for being so one sided with one voice. And not the voice of the people.

Barely a majority of the population voted for PTP. Remember the pillars of democracy:

elections, political tolerance, the rule of law, freedom of expression, accountability and transparency, decentralization and civil society.

I think PTP forgot about a few of these.

Only the junta can hold a press conference. Her freedom of speech has been denied. Shame on this junta for being so one sided with one voice. And not the voice of the people.

Suppose everybody is sorry for her, as she never did wrong---HER WORDS and still you people come to her aid, and blame the army for her antics.

She traveled FREE 50 times during her PM ship. another one will not be any different. Private jet in and out quickly from Chiang Mai could be on the cards ??

But how much of that was bought, forced, and coerced by ptp and thak?

Besides, just because she won did not give her the right to do as she pleased with the law and with the people and certainly didn't give her the right to be reckless and irresponsible.

The naysayers don't seem to see what the alternative was going

to be if the army had not taken control of the country,civil war it

was heading quickly in that direction,so what we have today is

the better of the two evils.

Thaksin will just have to pick another member of the family to

be PM, and try to push for amnesty for him and return of his

money,thats the kind of Democracy they want.

So did Papa Doc Duvalier, for example. See how well that worked out.

Democracy has started to recover today in Thailand with the rule of law being respected instead of ignored.

Music to my eyes this article. I will revel in the comments from the terrorist lovers for the next few days. Oh, how the belittling, denouncing and condescension will be a wonderful sign of the death throws of a dying corrupt party. It has already started with yingluck…Bring it on...

Shinawatra exit stage left.

Next bet it to see how long it will take to do the Shinawatra shuffle because she does not have the honor or integrity to face the criminal charges.

Funny that the "pro-democracy" lot of flag wavers here are TVF are pinning their beliefs on &lt;deleted&gt; YL Shiniwatra and her big brother. As if they were the answer to the democracy question in Thailand. Wake up. You are being used. For me - I am just happy that the red idiots aren't burning sh#t down and using babies as human shields. Anything without them is an improvement.
