snoop1130 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 March 24 may be suitable for election: Wissanu By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer A sole counter-protester proclaims he is 'Bored!' of elections at a pro-democracy rally held Jan. 8 at the Ratchaprasong intersection in Bangkok. BANGKOK — Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said Thursday that the election will likely be moved to March 24. The kingdom has been thrown into confusion without a definite answer on whether the Feb. 24 poll is on or off. The date fell into doubt after a needed royal decree failed to appear, but the deputy premier said one would likely be published in the Royal Gazette next week, allowing election officials to pin down a date.

Eligius Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It's great to see how the Thai junta really respects and honours the demands of the Thai people for greater clarity. You have got to hand it to the rulers: they could not make the present and future situation any clearer to the Thai people if they tried ....

Cadbury Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Prime Minister, after innumerable attempts, has never been able to correctly nominate the date of the election. So why should this treacherous snake Wissanu be able to do it? I am of the belief that even if the PM wanted to have an election (which he doesn't) the brains trust of the junta administration is so totally lacking it couldn't even organise one. Planning a kindergarten picnic would be more their level of ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Why the Thais dont get out on the street and start a revolution i dont know, you aint going to get anything except crap with this lot and most likely the next lot..............well clearly there is no interest, the laziest race Ive come across, cant drive, cant think, cant do a decent job in virtually anything they do, never their fault, no responsibility, stupid les majeste laws, stupid loss of face, you name it Thailand has it in spades, think of the stupidest most dangerous way to do anything and Thailands the world leader, comical they really think they are "something" Generalisations?? nope, the truth hurts Thailand, but you need a damn good kicking into reality. The corruption starts at the top filters right to the bottom, found out today the very small village I live in has had 2-300k baht stolen out of their funding ie corruption and the head of village and all his hangers on have been sacked............ex army guy, meanwhile roads full of holes for 6 months ( fixed em myself again), water supply off for 4 days this week , last week off for 7 days, just given em 850 baht as they have NO money for replacement water pipe..........PATHETIC, the whole country is on the take and the worlds biggest joke. Thankfully i avoid most of this nonsense until i get to immigration once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunProletariat Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 March 24th sounds good, as does April 24th. Or how about May 24th. June 24th?

Really, and you think that's what this is????. A very narrow point of view, especially after most overthrows the economy crashes, whereas this one flourishes. Certainly this military government was not capable of dealing with the mass of Thailand's problems, but have made it better in 3years.imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its true that there have been a lot of infrastructure projects but I am 100% certain that those are only a mechanism for skimming off huge amounts of money....in fact there are so many mega projects that it just supports the massive corruption theory.

chama Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 One has to wonder when the junta will feel strong enough to just cancel the election all together. They have no plans to leave the trough but are loosing support (and the votes they have purchased with taxpayer money will eventually forget to vote).
