firecat69 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I generally stay away from articles on the politics of Thailand since I am a firm believer Westerners cannot understand the workings of Thai Government. But I found this article interesting, but have no idea of any of the assumptions are true?? http://news.yahoo.com/thailands-reluctant-leader-prolongs-grip-power-044517995.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2u Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The assumption that he remains in power through 2016, I believe is realistic. And what if the voters reject a new draft constitution?.... always a possibility, then he remains in power for a long, long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anddy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 nothing much new there. The most important assumption is not mentioned in that article, and that is that the whole thing, i.e. the coup and the tactics to delay an election are to have the military in power when the inevitable big event happens. Which in fact might just be a good idea.... who knows. DivineMadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
