Deputy Agricultural Minister Thammanat Prompao has been picked as the ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP)’s secretary general, the party said on Friday.

 

The party released a list of 26 new executives at the PPRP’s meeting in Khon Kaen which saw the MP from Phayao replacing Prime Minister’s Office Minister Anucha Nakasai for the position.

 

“For things to move along smoothly, the secretary of the party and the leader of the party must get along and go in the same direction,” Somsak Thapsutin, justice minister and a senior member of key PPRP faction Sam Mitr, said after the meeting.

Sadly you would appear to be right.  A laughing stock worse than my own home country Thailand is becoming, and that takes a lot of doing to make it so.

You and I both have our own laughing stocks leading the country ( US + UK ), but at least you got just rid of the criminal who led yours yet we choose to live where another does also.

Sadly it is the sort of nepotism that is part of the national makeup and will never change .. it will matter not a jot how the elevation of a convicted narcotics trafficker within the ranks looks outside of Thailand as they tend to think they exist in a different universe when it comes to maintaining and consolidating their positions within Thai society .. Chances are he won't be dispatched to Australia on Government errands though ..  

If only a few of them could be "dispatched"

on the net there is a piece of investigative journalism under "Mafia bosses, black magic and marijuana" written just 2 months ago about the very same party. Worth a fiver.

 

It looks interesting but only for paying subscribers! Are you.... Ooops! I said nothing! ????

Being groomed to run for PM, this is just to much to even believe a convicted heroin smuggler can be in a position of power at all. Unbelievable.

Jobs for the boys, wheels within wheels... keep it in the family... you know how the system works.

No.

It's all very believable. 

Oligarchical class rule, historically.
