375 constituencies and biggest party only have 125 candidate?
That not even half.
Whoever win still need other party to join them to form gov.

Even the wiki isn't very clear about it, :( but as I recall from before, not the whole parliament can be contested by political parties, their constitution is monarchy, the royals and military may have reserved seats that parties can not contest. I suppose cabinet and premier can be formed from the majority within 125 Party-Listed seats alone.

I know quite surprisingly that in e.g. Pakistan the parliament has Reserved Seats for women. that is why women can win election to be president in a male dominant culture country. 1st World SG still more backward than Pakistan in this aspect that complains are now against Ass Loong have no new woman full minister.

The House of Representatives

Main article: House of Representatives of Thailand
The lower house is called the House of Representatives of Thailand (สภาผู้แทนราษฎร; RTGS: Sapha Phu Thaen Ratsadon). The chamber is made up of 400 members from single constituency elections and 80 members from "proportional representation" by party lists, as termed in the 2007 Constitution of Thailand. Thailand's "proportional representation" is parallel voting or Mixed Member Majoritarian (MMM). This is where the 80 seats are divided, to different political parties in accordance with the 'proportional representation' popular vote each party receives. Every eligible voter in Thailand in the event of a general election has two votes, the first for the constituency MP, the second for the party the voter prefers. The second category is then added and the results divided into 8 electoral areas, each having 10 seats. The other 400 seats are directly elected through a constituency basis. The House's term lasts four years, however, a dissolution can happen at any time.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>

Put any 2 persons together each will always know something (not necessarily right though) that the other doesn't. Is that something that made you think very big about yourself? :p

You are the same SDP Uncle Yap right? If so, in 2006, I saw you and Dr Chee making a public speech beside Woodlands MRT station. You criticized Thaksin and praise the Thai Junta for overthrowing Thaksin. You folks compared TRT to PAP and you folks really sounded like expert in Thailand politics...

OK, I am not trying to show off... but what I know is; The Thai Government consist of the Upper and Lower House.

The Upper House is the Senate. 150 seats. 76 are elected and 74 nominated (thanks to the lousy Junta). Current election is Lower House Election.

Lower House, i.e The House of Representatives has 500 Members: 375 Members are democratically elected through single constituency elections, while the other 125 are appointed accordingly through party-list proportional representation. The roles and powers of the House of Representatives have been enshrined in the Constitution of 2007.

So, PT and Democrats having 125 candiate does not mean that the sent 125 candidates for Election. It simply means that there are 125 candidates for the Party List.

That's why you are so confused! The comparison against famiLEE LEEgime and Thug-Sin is no drawn from their parliamentary structure at all. Parliamentary structure existed before Thug-Sin and may be modified after Thug-Sin.

The comparison of Thug-Sin and famiLEE is:

• Greed for Money
• Nepotism
• Money / Business driven politics
• Corporatism bundled Regime
• Arrogance
• Defamation suit abuses
• Rigging of Media (154th abuses)
• Falsehood of caring and benefiting peasants
• Vote buying
• PM Wife in control of lucrative businesses
• Elimination of political competitor systematically

Thug-sin emerged fast, dominating cell-phone business, TV, and family controlled huge businesses, lands, assets etc, buying power with money. Sue political opponents, edge out all political opponents, controls news & media, public listing Shin Corp to sell to Temasek, launders money, evaded tax etc.

These are the politically corrupted and greedy similarities.

If Thug-Sin got it his ways, his Thai Rak Thai would had became the PAp, he would had became LKy, Shin Corp will had become TemaSEX GIC, his son or sister (Yingluck now contesting for Red Shirt) would become PM, all other Thai businesses will be eaten up, all other Thai political parties will be edged out, it will be nearly one party parliament, the King & Royals will become mere puppet like Prata. Most of the kingdom's wealth would be in his family's hands. They will rule for many decades.

This was what I was comparing in GE2006.

This is NOTHING to do with Thai Parliamentary Structure. You are so confused and mixed-up!

:(

that's about right.
Thai voters cast 2 votes during lower house elections, one for MP candidate and other for party they support which determines the proportion for party list candidates.

Upper house appointed senators are unconstitutional, someone mentioned representatives from monarchy, royals and military.
Provision for military representation is a given and some appointees might proclaim to be royalists but there is no monarchy or royals representation as royalty are supposed to be above politics.

My point is, your understanding of Thai politics is skin deep. You equate whatsoever to your opinion of PAP.

Thaksin had (and still has) the support of majority Thais. He was elected by the people and not selected. Your allegation of Thaksin are what the Thai elite think of Thaksin. But the rural poor think that he is the saviour of the poor!

After the Junta overthrew an elected Government, is Thailand better of now? Is there reconciliation? Are the rural poor happy?



:(

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Sorry UY but your comparison is flawed and too simplistic.

Every Thai government is as corrupt as the other and have been guilty of doing all the things you have listed long before Thaksin came into the picture.
Thaksin was just better at it that's all. At the same time he was smart to serve the poor and forgotten thai voters (in the north and north east) making him very popular, this combination made him a very dangerous man to the establishment and also led to his downfall.

The King with all his wealth and moral authority (read power) will never have been sidelined to a puppet regardless of what happens.
The relationship of the holy trinity in Thailand of monarchy, military, bureaucracy is complex one.

Rural folks had been tricked by Thug-Sin, they will only be suffering more and be poorer than before when their SAVIOUR BILLIONAIRE use the peasants' votes to rid all other political powers. They will be dead-meat and except for peasant revolt there will be no one left to save these silly peasants.

The similarity between famiLEE LEEgime & Thug-Sin is so much. They are like twins! No other regimes are so similar with famiLEE LEEgime in this whole big world. The falsehoods are so identical! You have billionaire family pretending to be saviour of poor peasants there then billionaire ministers here pretending to be saviours of SG peasants! Their exploitations are nothing but the deepest, their grafts are the most audacious! Their Totalitarian are so full-scale! They eliminate competitions are so systematic! They are all about $$$$$$$$$$$!

 

[Narong Wongwan]

UY, to sum it up for you, what has been happening in Thailand is a power struggle.
If Thaksin is a thief then his opponents are all robbers.

Yes you may say that but BIG DIFF is here:

1. Thug-Sin is one TOTALIZATOR BANDIT that EATS ALL, just like PAp, he will Leave Nothing Behind, he was at a high speed coming up to eliminate all other bandits so that he would be the ONLY bandit in dominance. This is what made Thug-Sin different from other bandits in Thailand.
2. Thug-Sin made the rural peasants think he was GOD and savior. Hypocrisy same as famiLEE LEEgime.
3. Thug-Sin is the RICHEST BANDIT billionaire family business fast expanding, same as famiLEE LEEgime.

If Thug-Sin had it his ways, he would become LKy, Pojaman will become Ho Jinx, Shin Corp will become GIC TemaSEX, Thai Rak Thai will become PAp, Thai king will become Prata-man, whole Thailand will belong to his family, his son will become Ass Loong (or his sister Yingluck), all Thais will become suckers like Sinkees.

No other bandits in Thailand will be like the above, without Thug-Sin, the Thai scenario would be a balance of many bandits keeping each other down, instead of one total dominance like famiLEE LEEgime. It the past the balance in Thailand was a few generals of army keeping each other at bay.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Thaksin was never the totalizator bandit as despite his popularity, he did not had enough clout. Like I said, there are many factors at play in Thai politics. For one he did not have any influence in the military, though he did try unsuccessfully with the appointment of his cousin as army chief.

No Thai could think of Thaksin as God, the King yes but not Thaksin or anyone else. And he was popular and well liked by the rural folks simply because they benefited from his policies. Thaksin got things done for them.

Thaksin was never the richest man in Thailand, he was one of the richest thru his own businesses even before he entered politics.
The richest man in Thailand and the world is the Thai King.

ShinCorp is a business not a SWF like Temasek. The Crown Property Bureau would be a more accurate comparison.

Members of Thaksin's family were/are in politics as elected representatives. His is just one of the many political families on thai politics.

Thai Rak Thai party is hardly the PAP. Though it became a one party government, it lasted only for a single term. It was later banned and had members disqualified.
You will never see this happen to the PAP.
