Probably the end of the Dem Party, they more than likely just put the nail in their own coffin, next election will be more devastating for them than they could possibly imagine. You would think they would have got a wake-up call from this past election, obviously they are tone deaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm a little surprised that anyone thinks it will make much of a difference which group gets the front row at the trough. That's the nature of a Kleptocracy. The politicians aren't elected to power. They're elected to be the public face of those in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Christmas13 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Well I done my own survey about election results as you know I have 4500 friends in Thailand (of course I could not reach all of them) but the numbers I reached ( and this is from all over Thailand including the so called HI-SO in Bangkok) 85% voted for FFP I do know it is not a lot of people but I feel the people had no say at all, we all know it was rigged but I do feel bad for a lot of people who tried to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The important aspect of this is that some, who realize how incredibly corrosive and destructive a force the army is, in contemporary Thailand, are putting up a fight against the hapless junta. The Thai people must resist with every ounce of their beings and their wills. Five more years of these guys, and the nation will barely be recognizable.

Correct, more and more news is coming out re "unpleasant untoward"things happening to those who disagree or dont toe the line, sadly, although even from reputable sources these are not being widely published in Thailand! Dark days are coming i feel, although for sure there is growing support from the younger generation against the various "powers" that be" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suspect the vast majority of the nation despises the army, and all they represent, at this point in time. They represent lack of progress on every level.

Do you seriously think Thaksin would allow an outsider to push in front of his personally endorsed next puppet wannabee? The question is what deal have the made. Another Amnesty Whitewash attempt?

The question is what deal have the made. Another Amnesty Whitewash attempt? Is that a serious question. PTP just did that by pushing Thanathorn as the candidate of the pro democracy bloc to challenge for the PM position. Sudarat, Chadchart and Chaikasem stepped aside. You really have to loosen up with your Thaksin obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
