Thread: Suthep says PDRC to launch an offensive next week

^
With the European call for Thailand to set an agenda for fresh elections, I just wonder how many countries would recognise a new unelected government.

She was well known for being taksins pretty sister, thats all.

After university she was a salesgirl selling telephone directories for one of his businesses, she has never done anything outside of the family.

She is the kim kardashian of thai politics.

She is useless. She is taksins proxy. There will be no peace in the country until that despicable family are out of the picture. They have overstayed their welcome.

Oh I agree with you entirely.

The problem is that the Democrat party run by Abhisit and Suthep cannot think of any legitimate strategy to beat such a feeble incompetent Prime Minister. What does that make them? You want Abbott and Costello to run Thailand?

No, the country needs a fresh start. Year zero. Back to the drawing board.

Keep the thugs of both sides out of it.

Kick out the shinawats, imprison the ringleaders and trouble makers on both sides, corrupt high level cops and judges too, as an example to wannabe upstarts waiting in the wings, with televised trials replacing the evening soap operas, long sentences, heavy fines, banishments, total public humiliation.

Then start on low level corruption, the nosepicking civil servants, ball scratching street cops and the snivelling dogsbodies that cream off from public contracts.

The people will lap it up and shit their pants simultaneously.

The army to take control for a year or so until new properly run hustings and elections can take place.

Bingo. First world thailand. Aseans star.

It's a wee bit like a daily comedy sketch here already so maybe a few experienced professionals should be drafted in to take over.

In her short tenure Yingluck has visited more than 40 different countries in an official capacity, one of which was a car rally .

Yes, what she is famous for is having spent more time dodging Parliament than any other PM in political history.

''Despite being chairperson of the rice committee, Yingluck admitted in the 2013 Censure debate against her government, that she had never attended meetings of the National Rice Policy Committee although she is the chairwoman''

''Yingluck's bank account was among 86 bank accounts that the Abhisit government accused of being used to fund Red Shirt protesters during their demonstrations in 2010. Abhisit accused the Red Shirts of trying to overthrow the monarchy. However, the government did not pursue any legal case against her. The Department for Special Investigation found that from 28 April 2009 to May 2010, 150 million baht was deposited into one of her accounts while 166 million baht was withdrawn. On 28 April 2010 alone, 144 million baht was withdrawn.''

Need we go on?

Nothing to do with suthep, or the even more execrable reds.

The country is ungovernable, its like an out of control classroom.

Only the army is big enough for the job of rebooting thailand.

They should have done it three months ago.

Nah , after all they are just the two main players ...................

I agree totally and it isn't going to change. If anything the business and legal system here is a mess and often works through low-level "rewards". Take those away and you will have gridlock.

Thankfully Thailand has an agricultural base and is attractive to tourists so, however corrupt and stupid the politicians are,the place continues to thrive. If Thailand was a first-world industrial nation, relying on importing-processing-exporting, it's finances would be crippled by now.

Yawn. No need for Suthep to have any more offensives. He's offensive enough as it is.

Obviously not. How bad a bloodbath this becomes is yet to be determined, but I know exactly who the winners will be. It's inevitable.

getting rid of a mafia style family business takes a lot of political capital. Ask the Italians.

What he said!!!

who else is going to steer the country?

suthep? yingluck? a committee of 12 just men?

somebody needs to take control.

That is a good question, and I don't know the answer.

I do know that the army are the problem and have been for 80+ years. I prefer the iterative improvement method where accountability and transparency are introduced into the judiciary, civil service and all governance. It goes without saying that the army refuses ny kind of transparency or accountability...

the elected representives .

they have always proven themselves to be incapable of doing anything else but lining their own pockets at the electorates expense.

transparency, honesty and trustworthiness are just not part of the mindset of the alpha types that seek office here.

those in office line their pockets, those excluded from office get annoyed because they are not able to feed at the trough. it is an endless cycle.

heads need to roll, examples need to be set, prospective politicians need to be made fearful of the consequences of dishonesty. they need to understand the meaning of "to serve the people", and be aware of what might happen to them if they abuse their position.

it must start with the politicians and rapidly filter down through the police, civil service and army.

but it is an impossible task.

One silver lining- most of the illicit arms, on both sides, are in and around bangkok now.

In Bangkok today, was told by someone very well connected to the PDRC, one of there inside informants in the red shirt camp says Thaksin is upping the anty, money wise substantialy, they are expecting some big problems at Lumpini on the fifth.

As above (unless it's paid mercenary intervention creating trouble and killing regular folks as per usual)

No, it must start at the head of the patronage system - the PC, army, bluebloods, etc...

I'm starting to think Suthep is going to be thrown to the dogs.
