thesetat2013 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I wonder how many of the 28 million households will read the 300 page document? That's even more paper wasted than in a Government office. Don't you mean you wonder how many of the 28 million CAN read that document and if they CAN then will they be able to understand any of it?

soalbundy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 History repeats again... The junta won't leave the power, they will be kicked out by their own citizen. I doubt that, they have a 90% apathy problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There will be no coup. I will not be Prime Minister. There will be elections next year. Am I seeing things, or is there a pattern emerging here? No, just a cunning plan from Baldrick being put into operation, Black Adder is now running the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmebike Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Good. Better than any others there have been since Thaksin first came to power. Maybe but how is that good? Are they really killing corruption or just corruption in stealth mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Good. Better than any others there have been since Thaksin first came to power. Maybe but how is that good? Are they really killing corruption or just corruption in stealth mode? Stealth? More like blatant. Start by explaining why the motorway project in Chonburi was increased by 4.2B or 26.25% from the original budget approved by the previous government.

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 And the Fat Lady has not even landed at Swampy yet ! Yes the USD has done rather well over the last 15 months. Perhaps you could tell us which currencies it hasn't appreciated against, or even which have fared better than the THB? Swiss franc and yuan. And I assume you meant depreciated not appreciated ???

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If the constitution gets rejected, this date will move to when ? When there is protests starts and the country fall into chaos, when will this election take place ? This time around the power will only comeback to the people when they take it back.

jesimps Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 2017 you are kidding more like 3017 democracy inThailand has come to an end !! And exactly when was there any democracy in Thailand? Every time a government elected by the people was in power. Before you junta camp followers start shouting about corruption, I think most of us here realise that there has been a sniff of corruption about the PTP and other governments, but you can't blame that on the people. They vote for a party, how that party performs in office is not the fault of the people. If a party is allowed to go it's full term, then another party can then put it to the people how they'll govern, and the people then have a choice of voting the previous party out of office, or not as the case might be. But the final decision is with the people; that's democracy. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mango66 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Apparently the junta requires more time to line their pockets with money in this period of declining economic activity. At their age, I doubt the future success of the country is what occupies their minds, but instead what wealth can they accumulate to ensure that they and their family are able to overcome any hardships that the general populace may face. Or perhaps I am wrong... perhaps the junta are equating a constitution with laws? A constitution is not to hard to draw up... it should not take more than a couple of nights. Just pick one from any civilized country as a template. Voilà! Propably already brainwashed in I saan :-(((; So less corruption as now, LOS had not in last 100 years, and from day to day more of this fishes are catched ! Therefore TS have to fear their funds are getting law for the " 500 free election support !! If you are educated and from an democratic country , than you would know what time is neede to write a trustfull constitution; In Africa, yes they do it in a minute with a gunshot !!

JAG Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) 2017 you are kidding more like 3017 democracy inThailand has come to an end !! Just curious, when has Thailand had or been a democracy? On the occasions (4 I believe) on which it has elected a government this century. You see the fact that you dislike or disapprove of such a government does not mean it is not democratic. It has ceased to be a democracy each time (3 I believe) that the removal of such governments has been engineered by the military . The fact that you applaud or approve of such actions does not make them any more legitimate. Edited July 20, 2015 by JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
