Makes me laugh how they create new political parties out of thin air. No statement about what their vision or ideology is. No published manifesto showing what they are aiming to achieve if you vote for them. Just a catchy new nationalistic name and a host of aspirational hollow claptrap. As a first step, the best thing the Thai people can do is to turn out in massive numbers and spoil their ballot papers at the next election. If that doesn’t jolt these dictators in to change, then turn out on the streets in open revolt.

They don't need to advertise their vision or manifesto, it is quite clear to anyone who engages brain. To continue feeding off the public teat while squirreling as much bribe money away in offshore accounts as they can for when they finally can't overturn a free and fair election in a military-backed coup.

you are assuming they have a vision in the first place 

the only vision they have is to remain in power no matter the means or costs,

The party is only the vehicle, or the ride, it's all about the personality that run those parties that matters,

like a mafia organization

Think he was told to retire gracefully, but power has gone to his head.

Fantastic news.

Squabbling rats lose sight of the prize.
