You all lack any understanding of Thai politics and the Army

 

The Army believe completely in democracy

 

Their will be a new PM from the opposition

 

And in a year's time then we can have the coup

 

Well, that's the way it's usually done

 

[Old Hippie]

Lets start a pool on when the coup happens...

I'm backing this one,  as the most likely outcome,  with the odds,  3:1  as in  3=coup,  1=status quo.

 I'll wager a beer, when I'm there, (~end of 2025)

There will be a coup, usual they let the parties govern for 18 months,

 

Then go

 

Fuck that lets have a coup 

 

Interesting the election was almost exactly 9 years after the coup give or take a week or so

I miss the good old Red Shirts v Yellow Shirts days

Well I reckon that the odds have changed in the last day or so.

to 10:1 as in 10=coo & 1=no coo.     and    soon   .

Why?  I continue to speak tangentially:

because the new kids on the block are floating big changes to the rule, that abhors, even mild negative comment, on characters who have appeared in the Adams Family.

The Addams Family is a fictional family created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. They originally appeared in a series of 150 unrelated single-panel comics, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between 1938 and their creator's death in 1988
