Nothing will change, the only good party was future forward the rest is all bad and in it for themselves. So without a good alternative nothing will change. Stupid junta for disbanding them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i loved part of what the junta did when i thought they would have been gone quickly. Now i see that they are as corrupt as the Taksin goverments (if not worse). Problem is even if there is blood on the street without a party that is good like future forward to vote upon nothing will change. A corrupt Taksin party or a corrupt junta party. I mean without a 3rd good choice nothing will change. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you get the impression he's trying to say that the FF are gone so what's the point. Just accept the very naughty junta.

I mean without a 3rd good choice nothing will change. I doubt whether very many of the participants in this movement will have been old enough to vote for Thaksin, or his sister. I suspect that those of them that have voted almost certainly voted for Future Forward. If the Junta falls ( and it won't step aside in the interests of fairness, that is as naive an expectation as imagining that the Junta only took power for very limited objectives over a short time!) then there is nothing to prevent Future Forward from reforming. These protests are Future Forward, or the movement which grew out of it. Whilst Thaksin might regard them with a benevolent eye, he is not driving them. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you see it then.. revolution and then unelected rulers ? My point is there need to be parties too that are honest and good otherwise there is no point in shedding blood if it is just to get an other corrupt government into power. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that future forward is driven by Thaksin. Point was that they should establish a party again. So after the junta is gone a good party can be voted in. I don't see it as a good thing to have an unelected government (again) in power. I was thinking beyond the so called revolution (hope there wont be one or that if there is it wont be too bloody) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is there need to be parties too that are honest and good otherwise there is no point in shedding blood if it is just to get an other corrupt government into power. You’d have a interim caretaker government take over and a new constitution would be drawn up with input from the people. Checks and balances would be put into place as to make the whole thing as fair as possible. Kind of in the same way other countries have done it through history when the people have had to right the wrongs of their illegal governments, etc. Oh, and the FF party members weren’t executed. They were kicked out by the junta for being genuine opposition. They’re still relatively active and ready to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 Be very afraid Prayuth. The youth will no doubt be your undoing. Your army is despised by most. And so are you. The youth are the only hope this nation has of progressing, and moving forward. That is precisely why you are living in a constant state of fear of them! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
