naboo Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The problem is, the people voted for the constitution when clearly it was ridiculous and they were supposed to vote against it. Now its hard to stop the movement towards elections. The problem is, they all keep voting wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 haha. after the charter/constitution that the people had no say in, after this, after that. Why pay lip service to it? Why don't they just say they are in charge and that's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Pater' for 'father' ....also the root of patrician, patricide (to kill one's father), patrimony, paternal, and the Spanish word, "patron" which is what you call your mafia boss, unless you want to lose your kneecaps. Thais need to be told what to think. The junta is in place to tell them. Patron is also what we need to drink while ( whilst) waiting out till the next election.

JAG Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know that poster JAG will be on here to point out with a great deal of validity the hardline stance taken against dissent. However if some kind of stand is not taken, in my opinion the Thai people can forget any form of representative democracy for the next generation to come. It is really highly depressing...Patience.Reactions take time to build.Remember the structure is built upon rotten foundations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 i would be ok with no elections ever. if they execute all the mini van drivers. and motorbike punks. make it illegal to play "Who'll Stop the Rain." and promise to keep the gogos open.

toenail Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Too many gullible misinformed ( unintelligent?) in some countries to handle a free election in a so called democracy. The majority of Thais keep voting in a "Thaksin" & in the USA they voted for an inexperienced blow-bag with narcissism- Trump. I feel more confident with a military enforcing the rules & trying to get rid of corruption than a ting-tong politician.

THEIR rules, and they make them up as they go along. Trying to get rid of the corruption? Have you even been following what's happened in Thailand since the junta took power???

Eric Loh Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The key words are "may be held" and "after constitution is activated or royally endorsed". The former is ambiguous while the latter is now a political hot potato. I rather see delay and the draft constitution re-written to clip the dominance of the military than a crooked military constitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
