He pushed her under the proverbial bus long ago as he does to everybody over a period of time.

 

He did it to his BIL, Somchai Wongsawat, he did it to his "trusted" friend Samak before Somchai.

 

He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon.

It must kill these spastics, that despite all their efforts, using the entire resources of the state, they simply cannot put a dent in this lady's popularity.

Seven folks in the photo, way way down from the past, and even then hardly a substantive number compared to the whole population.

 

As said a million times, yes they would probably win the next election but first they need to get over their internal leadership squabbles and come to grips with numerous new laws now in place which outlaw any involvement by folks abroad, etc., etc.

 

Love to see sonny boy try to be the PM, that really would be funny, and sad.

 

But no doubt when the time comes the big promises will flood the NE. 

wonder what the statute of limitations is on this crime. what happened to the 96 million US$ she was fined last year?

Theresa May thought she'd not only win an election but increase her majority - wrong! Hilary Clinton thought she'd walk it, already in the bag - wrong!

 

Nothing certain in Politics. Thaksin thought they'd win the Bangkok governor election, even if they fielded a wooden pole as candidate - wrong! PTP thought they'd win easily in the Dong Meauang by-election so a party list MP resigned and fought the "safe seat" - wrong.

 

Regardless of any laws, the PTP owner and financier, would again select a suitable puppet and pay party MPs a salary to do his bidding; decide who gets promoted and demoted in ministerial shuffles. That's how he controls.

And when there is no "big promises" and PTP still romp home?

Oh, what will become of the Junta-strokers then??

Will they be able to maintain the delusion?
