In response, Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said that it is him, not any fortune teller, who is responsible for organizing the new general election.Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha added that he is not concerned about the constitutional referendum, asserting that all related agencies are implementing all the steps required to organize the nationwide vote, which will lead to the general election and the restoration of democracy in Thailand.The Prime Minister added that the result of the referendum, regardless of whether the draft charter is accepted by the people, should not be seen as a reflection of public support for the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).

Prayut also affirmed that he is not concerned with movements by some groups, including politicians, and their call for an open debate to discuss ideas about the draft charter.-- NNT 2016-07-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So, who can you trust to pick your winning lotto numbers - the fortune teller or the junta? If it's the latter, then the numbers 6, 4, 6, 4 should feature prominently in their choice ( http://news.thaivisa.com/thailand/pm-says-will-stand-by-6-4-6-4-formula-to-general-elections/120194/). Unless (heaven forbid), like the fortune teller, they too are charlatans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 You do not have to be Thai nor a fortune teller to know there will be a delay in elections. As for his other comments, he is nothing if not a consistent junta leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response, Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha said that it is him, not any fortune teller, who is responsible for organizing the new general election." That's true, and the fortune-teller seems to be predicting that Prayuth won't. Not can't - won't. A bit of a no-brainer, that, and I seriously doubt anything but a very small minority among those living in Thailand think that he will hold an election in 2017. Certainly, nobody near to where I live does.... Anyone prepared to bet money on the matter? Winnie Edited July 22, 2016 by Winniedapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The clash of the fortune tellers. Which one do you believe? The one in the funny costume with the crystal ball or the one in the uniform with Section 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 PM Prayut said that it is him, not any fortune teller, who is responsible for organizing the new general election. Warin's projection doesn't necessarily mean that Prayut will delay the election - only that it will be delayed. While Prayut rules absolutely, events might go beyond his control in unexpected ways. When one considers what such events might be, Warin might be delivering an ominous future for Prayut than for the Thai people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 That fortune teller single-handedly insured that there will be an election next year, just by being contrary and having a thorough understanding of the PM's psychology.. Then again, I could be wrong and the fortune teller is just another self promoting idiot without a motive. Yes, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieinthailand Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So if the draft fails why can there be no election? Is the EC without a junta unable to do it's job? The interim constitution will apply but it will need to be adjusted, but there needs to be a discussion concerning it, So why not discuss the needed changes and move forward? because the changes that the junta wants and what will be accepted by the people is may be not the same? Yo junta fan club, can you guy's guess how many times the elections will be delayed and let us know please. I mean you guy's have had it right about everything else in the past. And well the junta has always been honest and it's just the rest of the free thinking people that have been wrong all this time yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this PM had any sense of shame that is. Which he appears not to have. I see on last night's TV, he suggested he should have hegemony for 20 years. Now there's a surprise.

chainarong Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The fortune teller has now placed Prayut on notice, ensuring that the elections will go ahead, whether they do or not will be up to the versatile section 44 , however my coffee cup predictions don't abode well for most of the Junta leaders , as what comes around goes around comes to mind, or whatever ye sow so ye shall reap....................
