Haven't been able to achieve this since 1932 - the army always gets in the way.

...but...but...but...85% of all Thais think he is great and the Junta is doing excellent work and all are dingdonghappyhappy...

So...why the need for "absolute power"...constructively or not?

Costas? Robby? ...anyone?

No point in asking Robby. If you get a reply back from the expert, and you reply back, your posts get removed for unknown reasons! It's a strange but live phenomenon.

What a bunch of sad sacks! I think it's about time you moved on. If I had the "power" of 44 I know what I would be doing with it.

there in lays the problem with such power in the wrong hands. You have just confirmed what people are saying.

"I will use Article 44 constructively and I won't use it to create more conflict."

or

¨Anyone in conflict with me will be removed¨

Just found a copy of NCPO's road map

He's already started a massive rebuilding program, I think they're called concentration camps.
