Flashermac Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 All of the election directors in Bangkok’s 50 districts have resigned en masse, Somchai Srisuthiyakorn, a member of the Election Commission revealed today. He said that he has received the report of the resignation of all Bangkok election directors today. He said that it was the duty of the EC to appoint others to the vacancy. He said that he also received report that the National Municipal League of Thailand has announced a boycott the general election. This, he said, was to signal to the EC that all local government administrations would not give any cooperation to the EC in holding the election. Mr Somchai, an EC commissioner in charge of holding the election, was scheduled to meet the caretaker Prime Minister to consult the rescheduling of the February 2 election. He said that during the meeting he would explain to the caretaker government that even though the government insisted on the February 2 election, it could not resolve anything as the EC could not announce names of the 500 MPs and it might take over six months to announce all names. This will plunge the country into a political vacuum in which the Parliament cannot convene, and a government cannot be formed. He suggested that if all sides turned to another better alternative, that is to reschedule the election, it would be a better solution to resolve the conflict and might take not more than four months. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/bangkoks-50-election-directors-resign/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 To be honest, this mess is just getting worse and worse by the day. No one is willing to compromise they all seem to be going for broke. I am very pessimistic about Thailands future right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Life goes on, but there may be no government for a while. Yingluck once upon a time actually seemed willing to compromise. Then the phone calls started coming from the Big Boss. She now seems determined to toe the line. I can't understand Thaksin. He is willing to destroy the country to regain power, but can he really be so dense as not to understand that he will never be able to live her again without looking over his shoulder very often?

Coss Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would hazard that he's after what ever huge moneys he can get hold of, and the only place in the world he can do this is Thailand. Any other country would lock him up or have him assassinated. I don't think his actual place of residence worries him too much except as a face saver.

Flashermac Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 He discovered that in the UK, when he got asked some serious questions about how he got the money into the country to by Man City etc. (It also didn't go over well when he wanted the football players to bow to him when they saw him.)

cavanami Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Very soon the military will take control and around and around we go...again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 The last thing the military wants to do is take charge. Otherwise, they would have by now. They discovered the last time that they couldn't do any better in governing the country. Prayuth has only a few months left before he retires. He is not about to do anything. The Air Farce is too weak, and the Navy is too busy line dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Politics is just a big dance, so the Navy is well qualified! :rotl: :rotl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 A coup, should such happen seems unlikely right now, but in a couple of months time might be more likely, could depend on the reshuffle. More than that it seems plausible that the middle order might self-elevate with a few well placed bullets. Regrettable but necessary actions to restore some level of sanity they might well conclude.

cavanami Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 The middle order are as corrupt then the upper orders! The corruption runs from the very top to the bottom! It has become ingrained in the culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
