Palang Pracharat warned government in trouble if cabinet seat promises not kept

Democrat party leader Jurin Laksanavisit said today he believes the Palang Pracharat party will keep its promise over cabinet seats to be allocated to the Democrats, whereas Thepthai Senpong, a core party member, warned that the coalition government will be in big trouble if the promise is broken.

 

In the meantime, Somsak Thepsutin, a key figure of the Sam Mitr group, said that if the group does not get the agriculture minister’s post, all the promises the group made with the people during the election campaign would be badly affected.

 

While declining to comment further on the allocation of cabinet portfolios, Somsak said the final decision would rest with the party’s executive committee and his group had already made its wishes clear.

Like two hungry dogs fighting over a bone.

Yawn. Just start preparing for the next coup or street protests so we can get this one over with.

[neeray]

I doubt that party promises would be any more honoured than political promises made when campaigning. Let the games begin !

[bannork]

 

Som nam na to both The Democrats and Bhumjaithai if they don't get the ministries they were promised. Who would believe a party formed simply to continue military rule?

In other words if Palang Pracharat deny them their promised privileged and elevated positions at the trough they will make life difficult for them. Presumably regardless of whether the consequences are good or bad for the country or the people.

Greed and selfishness is the priority in Thai politics.

Not only in Thai politics, you can find it in every sector of the whole country, but whatever: the coalition will collapse anyway, or there will be the usual street protests and followed by another coup.

They shafted their voters so it is poetic justice if they themselves are shafted in turn...

[Lungstib]

A terrific example of Thai politics where corruption and personal gain is the aim and promises are worthless because they cost nothing and are easily withdrawn. These people truly deserve each other, their partnership is nothing more than a path to wealth they shouldn't be enjoying.

If they are shafted they simply break out of the coalition and it is done. Then they can make a new coalition. Its not as if they have no power to keep the generals from breaking their word.

 

I hope the coalition breaks of course.

[Chang_paarp]

Quick !!!

 

Get some stronger wallpaper!!

 

The cracks are starting to show!! ???? ???? ????

[PatOngo]

Already the back stabbing has begun, be interesting to see who jumps ship. There's surely not enough room at the trough for a 19 party coalition. I have yet to hear the word "Ideology".

Of course i do, maybe you should take of your red tainted glasses. 

 

I made it clear countless times i prefer Thanathorn over all other politicians. 

 

But maybe its a blessing in disguise that he was not able to form a government. If you look at all the trouble that is coming the government that has to deal with it will not be popular. 

[SOTIRIOS]

...true distribution of power....

...should be applauded....

What a load of cobblers. Promises will be kept and the faction appeased with Deputy Minister positions or some other inducement.

Promises by Prayut. You got to be joking. You need to smarten up.

You find Greed and selfishness all over the world. Of course the normal Thais bashers like to make out that this only occurs in Thailand.

Oh the western parties break promises in political coalitions?  any FACTs?  you are so naive and blinkered

Nobody has broken promises here. There was a big IF in the OP, and as breaking that promise would likely end the coalition, what would be the point.

 

Not sure what your problem is.

[Dexlowe]

What a bunch of misery-guts in the photo. Not a smile among them. Perhaps they've just been told of the latest cost of a portfolio.

When it comes to the Junta, you sure are a glass half full fella aren't you.

Going to end in tears for you buddy boy.

[yellowboat]

What a blatant and nauseating show of self service.  Thailand is such a sad, disappointing place now.

[fforest1]

Boy this has to be a record they can not even make it 24 hours before the backsliding and backstabbing begins.....

Unfortunately, Prayuth will likely remain PM, even if the coalition breaks. There are now all the necessary articles in the law to allow him govern with the help of the Senate, and without a house majority. It just makes it more complicated and less legitimate.

Because of the puppet Senate, Prayuth is the only one allowed to be the PM.

House majority can also initiate a vote of no confidence forcing an election.

I'm already close to tears of laughter at the steady stream of whining losers predicting all sorts of defections and problems for Thailand's elected government. The level of wishful thinking and bias colouring your predictions are tantamount to self-abuse.
