Lets just say that it is the case that Thaksin's support base in Thailand is small, yes, lots of people on ThaiVisa are correct, Thaksin is deluded when thinking that he still has a support base in Thailand. They might be right. Okay, lets have an election, and surely, Abhisit will get a higher percentage of the vote than Thaksin. Maybe six or seven per cent more votes. This means Abhisit will have more MPs than Thaksin, and Abhisit can be declared as the democratically elected leader of Thailand. Yes, Thailand can then declare itself a democracy, and have full political links with the West restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the story about the drunk guy, and about ISIS, yes, I can see what you're trying to say. But in a democracy, okay, so a bad government gets elected, they got a few per cent more votes than the second most populat party, this meant more MPs. And indeed, whatever bad party damaged and harmed the nation. Democracy works by having an election to remove the bad party. How about the Thais will have an election to show that Abhisit is more popular than Thaksin ? And those Westerners who join ISIS, yes, most of them end up running home to Britain or whatever country they're from. How about let the Thais run to Thaksin, and once they know how bad it is with Thaksin in charge, well, lets watch them run away from Thaksin. Lets watch them being thankful that Thaksin is not in charge. How many Thais are thankful that Thaksin is not in charge ? Do they outnumber the Thais who still want Thaksin back in charge ? Yes, lets watch the Thais run away from Thaksin. Lets watch the Thais give Thaksin a massive defeat in an election. But we've got to have an election in order to see this massive defeat. Lets see it.

Lite Beer Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thaksin: 2014 Coup Makers Helped by Traditional ElitesBy Khaosod Eng. BANGKOK — In his strongest criticism of the May 2014 coup yet, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told a South Korean media agency that last year’s military takeover was plotted by Thailand's traditional elites.The video clip was posted today on the one-year anniversary of the coup by a pro-Redshirt Facebook page called "Stop Hypocrisy in Thailand."Speaking in Thai above Korean subtitles, Thaksin alleged that traditional elites helped engineer the anti-government protests that culminated in the coup that overthrew his sister’s government twelve months ago."When they didn't want us to stay anymore, they made Suthep [Thaugsuban, leader of anti-government protests] come out, and then had the military help him," Thaksin told Chosun Media, which organized a leadership conference that the former PM attended this week in Seoul.Thaskin said the military takeover "played out like what I had been through," referring to the military coup that ousted him from power in 2006. The 2006 putsch also followed months of protests against his government.

Yingluck, was even being protested against by her own supporter base, the rice farmers and had been ordered to step down. More than 2000 farmers protested Thursday in Bangkok to demand Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's government to pay rice subsidies as promised.

The 'monkey wrench' in all this is the crazy new methods of electing representatives as formulated in the proposed new convention and supposedly based on the German model. I have no idea how that is going to work so I really can't comment yet. Thailand is much more acceptable to world powers as a democracy and even the most benevolent, hard-working, and honest military government is still a military government and not the 'will of the people'. Therefore I patiently wait for democracy to return and hope venal politicians don't bend the rules to fit their will as Dr. Thaksin and his nominee governments have done in the past.

He has made a lot more statements that aren't posted on this forum and that I can't link to. How many times has he forsworn politics? He keeps showing how butt-hurt he is from his ouster in 2006 and he remembers every little bad thing any one has ever done to him while, in his mind, he is totally innocent and blameless. Ladies and gentlemen you are watching a real, live narcissistic megalomaniac who really can't stop or help himself. He is in total denial and has delusions of grandeur that he is the one true savior of Thailand. I don't doubt his sincerity one iota. I feel bad for his family as he must be becoming an embarrassment since it is clear he will never be allowed to return to his former power and possibly, never to even return to Thailand.

Yes, when I say Thaksin, I mean a Thaksin proxy, but we all know that a Thaksin proxy or nominee will be taking orders from Thaksin and carrying out those orders. You say that "With his funding and organization, any party representing Thaksin has as good a chance of winning an election as any I know of" !! Well yes, I agree with your comment. Do you feel, if the junta was able to carry out a ban on the 500 baht per vote bribe, do you reckon the Thaksin Party can still win ? What about people on ThaiVisa who feel that any parties taking part in a general election should be banned from having populist policies ? Do you feel this is reasonable ? Or do you feel that in a democratic vote, parties should be allowed whatever populist policies they like ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffel45 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If "Social Elites in Bangkok" had helped rid Thailand of dangerous, plague infested rats who had spread their disease into the most vulnerable areas of society - then one must applaud these "Social Elites". As for "Thaksin Coming home" - he must first pay his many debts to society including a prison sentence plus and then the long list of Frauds. Like any criminal who has been convicted he must pay.

Muirton Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Slogging through 6 pages of ThaiVisa with the OP referencing the Shinawats one is struck by how personal the attacks upon them are and upon those who support their policies on ThaiVisa. The future of Thailand belongs to the Shinawats. That is a statement based on observation. The current Numero Uno of Thailand has the brains of a flounder. That, too, is a statement based on observation. Fascist falang, fear-drenched, fat and furious, will be certain the first statement is proof one has the hots for Yingluk or one is a well-paid agent of Taksin, or vice-versa. The second statement will tell the same “Falang-ists” one is an hysterical RedShirt. Not so in my case. I have no emotional involvement in any Thai politician — and ought not. Numero Uno seems not to torture or execute political opponents, high marks for that, while Taksin has more brains in his fingernails than the entire Army Club, points for that, so there is good and bad across the spectrum.

The future of Thailand belongs to the Shinawats. That is a statement based on observation. The current Numero Uno of Thailand has the brains of a flounder. That, too, is a statement based on observation. Fascist falang, fear-drenched, fat and furious, will be certain the first statement is proof one has the hots for Yingluk or one is a well-paid agent of Taksin, or vice-versa. The second statement will tell the same “Falang-ists” one is an hysterical RedShirt. Not so in my case. I have no emotional involvement in any Thai politician — and ought not. Numero Uno seems not to torture or execute political opponents, high marks for that, while Taksin has more brains in his fingernails than the entire Army Club, points for that, so there is good and bad across the spectrum. Id est quod est. A balanced view dries Falangists bonkers: they become incapable of quiet discourse, spewing venom or foam on ThaiVisa threads and on their Pinochet screensavers. Glum down, chaps, the worst is yet to come. ..........................."Glum down, chaps, the worst is yet to come."...................................

tonbridgebrit Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Has Thaksin still got a large support base in Thailand ? Is he deluded ? Does Thaksin's support base in Thailand outnumber the Thais who want to vote for Abhisit ??How do we know ? How are we going to know ? Are there people on ThaiVisa who are deluded about how many people in Thailand support Thaksin ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
