EC To Investigate Pita...
Afternoon, KR In a short post you have raised two issues that I am pretty sure Thailand will have to face, and sooner rather than later. The issues are will there be violence and is there an alternative to an MFP-led government. I don't think there is an alternative to an MFP-led government as I don't think that Pheu Thai can ditch them and remain a viable force. The MFP swept Bangkok where once PT ruled, and that must be an alarming indicator for PT as there really isn't a way to gain power in Thailand without a large presence in the Capital; when attempting to explain Thailand politically to my global friends, I tell them to think about it as "The Kingdom of Bangkok and Surroundings". Moreover, PT/Thaksin/Yingluck/Etc. have always been popular as the Pro-Democracy, Reform Party but if they hook up with anyone else besides MFP, I think they lose that "Edge". Finally, PT looks old relative to the MFP, and if it wants to continue to exist, it needs to reform and re-build and can't do that in coalition with a Junta-Coalition party like BJP. I am also cognizant that I am in the South of Thailand and Northerners think differently. So, Northerners, can the Pheu Thai survive without being part of a Democratic, Reform government? Or, would MFP, seeing that ground ceded, just move in and take over the 'protest' vote which is mainly young people? The second issue is violence and sadly I expect to see some. One, it is part of Thai political history that people, especially young people, get killed during times of change. Secondly, I don't think the Thai people really get the concept of "Peaceful Transfer of Power' as they rarely have experienced it; simply put, I think it is likely/certain that a few people will die in any sort of political transition because they always have before and that is actually part of the process (awful as that is). Finally, the only way that I see no violence occurring is if there really isn't any significant change, and if there is no significant change occurring, then Thailand's future will simply drain away, leaving behind a place of nice chicks, beaches, doobies and food rather than a serious country which provides for its children. MFP won a mandate to reform. Pheu Thai also won a mandate to reform. If they don't deliver, they are toast. -

Sorry I am not joining in at your derision of a suicidal man who you nothing about but bring other peoples IQs by refering to them as Forest Gumps, have a go at civilly posting, that would be a turn up for the books. -

Indeed. Using a man’s suicide to advance an unrelated personal agenda is the epitome of misguided self importance. RIP faux empathy
