snoop1130 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Democrats and Bhumjaithai hold talks, sparking coalition speculation By Kas Chanwanpen The Nation Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul (R) shakes hands with Democrat’s secretary-general Chalermchai Sri-on while Prachuabkirikhan MP Montri Panoynon makes a gesture during a working dinner recently.//Anutin's Facebook The political deadlock between the pro-junta and anti-military camps, with neither side having enough MPs to form a coalition, has increased speculation that the Democrat and Bhumjaithai parties could perform a "kingmaker" role. The two parties together hold 103 seats in the House of Representatives, 148 short of a majority but enough to gain leverage against the rival coalitions. The Democrats and Bhumjaithai won 52 and 51 MPs, respectively, but both remained undecided on which camp to join in the Parliament. On Tuesday, Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul posted photos on Facebook of a working dinner with Democrat’s secretary-general Chalermchai Sri-on and Prachuabkirikhan MP Montri Panoynon. “We’re working here, not just dining. It’s exactly like what we’ve said before,” Anutin wrote. The photos showed the trio sharing a meal and Anutin and Chalermchai shaking hands, smiling. This raised questions about whether the two parties would create an alliance to help form a coalition to end the political deadlock.

holy cow cm Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Seems like PTP and FFP are very open to bend and accept them. They better make the right decision and join the anti junta party. Even if they make an alliance not joining one or the other keeping it within themselves in government, it means zilch and squat when the same people and military are as still in.

yellowboat Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 They do not look like brave, unflinching men. The Democrats will be a laughing stock of they back the military. Sad or happy days to come thanks to these men. At least we will know who to blame if the country gets any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestB Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It appears both have come up with a plan to hold top jobs. they form one and then invite others to join, meaning they hold top jobs. not a bad idea, this way could also possibly work with PTP, no key positions . both get to save face and not go against their policies and principles. lets see how it plans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joining either camps is a no win for neither of them. however getting either camp to join them makes it win win for all, besides PPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
