Aika oudot vaalit näin ulkopuolisen ja aika vähän Thaimaan politiikkaan perehtyneen silmin.
Selailin eri paikkakuntien ääniä ja tuntuu pääsääntösesti olleen joka paikkakunnalla pääsääntöisesti 2 ääniharavaa ja loput saaneet joitain hajaääniä ja vielä niin ettei ihmeempää yhteyttä sillä, että ihmiset olisivat tarkoituksella valinneet ehdokkaan jostain oman mieleisestä puolueesta, kun saattoi olla aivan eri puolueet ääniharavana eri äänestyslohkoissa samankin kaupungin sisällä.
Ehkäpä ihmiset äänestäneet oman paikkakunnan nimihenkilöä joka kaikkien tuttu välittämättä siitä, että mitä puoluetta tämä kyseinen henkilö edustaa? Ja ymmärtääkseni nämä ei olleet lopulta henkilövaalit vaan puoluevaalit...? |

Jotenkin ei itsellekään ole kovin selkeä systeemi. Kai tässä tosiaan äänestetään paikallista ehdokasta ja se nyt sitten edustaa jotain puoluetta?
No toi Future Forfard sai nuoret liikkeelle. |

Lainaus: | Thaimaassa useat sotilasjunttaa vastustavat puolueet ovat ilmoittaneet liittoutuvansa päästäkseen eroon sotilasjuntan vallasta.
Maassa järjestettiin sunnuntaina vaalit, mutta tulos on edelleen epäselvä, sillä kumpikin kärkipuolue väittää voivansa muodostaa hallituksen.
Virallisia tuloksia ei ole vielä julkistettu, ja vaaleja ovat värittäneet myös epäilyt vaalivilpistä.
Puolueet sanovat, että liittoutumalla ne saavat riittävästi paikkoja parlamentista syrjäyttääkseen vuonna 2014 vallan anastaneen sotilasjuntan |

Lainaus: | PRAYUTH OFFICIALLY APPOINTED PM FOR SECOND TERM
By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer -June 11, 2019 1:51 pm
BANGKOK — Junta leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha was officially re-appointed as prime minister at a Tuesday afternoon ceremony at Government House.
Reading a short statement televised nationally, Prayuth vowed to work for the country’s greater good and listen to the voices of the people. He also promised to eradicate corruption, reduce inequality and ensure effective and transparent government.
“[I will] promote a peaceful environment for a unified society,” said Prayuth, who led a coup in May five years ago.
Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has clarified however that the junta and the current cabinet will formally remain in power until after the ASEAN Summit on June 22-23.
At the ceremony, Prayuth was flanked by leaders from the 19 parties who make up his governing coalition. These parties are now jockeying over key ministerial portfolios in Prayuth’s cabinet.
Prayuth emerged victorious from a parliamentary session to elect the country’s new prime minister last Wednesday, gaining 374 votes from MPs against the 197 votes won by his competitor Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
Despite protests from the anti-military coalition, 250 junta-appointed senators cast their ballots alongside the elected MPs.

Lainaus: | OPINION: LEARNING FROM THAILAND’S FORGOTTEN, FORMER NATIONAL DAY
By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer -June 23, 2019 1:43 pm
An old story not recounted is eventually forgotten. The same might be said of tomorrow, June 24 – once Thailand’s National Day, today many youth no longer know about, let alone remember, the day a bloodless revolt overthrew absolute monarchy in June 1932.
For two decades between 1939 and 1960, June 24 was observed not just with celebrations and media attention but a three-day public holiday. Today, only history buffs and pro-democracy activists care to mark the day as one of the most important in the Kingdom’s history. Few newspapers have mentioned it this year.
What’s more, some important relics of the 1932 revolt have mysteriously disappeared. A brass plaque at the Royal Plaza marking the June 24 revolt went missing in 2016, only to be replaced by a new plaque extolling royalist ideology. No one has claimed responsibility.
At the end of last year, something even larger disappeared. The Constitution Defense Monument at Bangkok’s Lak Si intersection, which was at least three-stories tall, was removed. Again, no one was held responsible and the majority of the Thai press neglected to report the incident. The monument had marked the defeat of a royalist rebellion which sought to restore absolute monarchy.
It’s almost as if the day never existed, which says a lot about today’s Thailand.
Yet the present day promotion of the monarchy bears an uncanny resemblance to how past governments historically promoted June 24 as National Day. Now instead of June 24, we have King Bhumibol’s birthday on December 5, which has been designed as Thai National Day for nearly six decades now.
In a thesis written in 2016, Natkamol Chaisuwan of Thammasat University’s Faculty of Journalism described the role of the press in legitimizing the People’s Party that led the revolt, observing many similarities between then and now.
Natkamol noted that the press back then, particularly newspapers and radio, were used to promote a personality cult surrounding strongman Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsongkram, a leader of the military faction of the People’s Party who eventually became prime minister.
“Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsongkram used radio as a medium to spread nationalism, with radio given extra airtime,” he wrote, adding that radio programs accorded special importance to National Day coverage through short plays and songs extolling the People’s Party. “Newspapers also issued special editions for National Day.”
Now, the press extols the virtues of royalist ideology instead – something rare when June 24 was still Thai National Day.
The date of Thai National Day may have changed, but something remains. We can still learn from, rather than forget, June 24.

Lainaus: | Court case against PM unlikely to affect confidence in govt, says Prawit
Politics
Jul 08. 2019
Deputy Premier and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Monday that confidence in the government was unlikely to be affected by a possible Constitutional Court trial over Prayut Chan-o-cha’s qualifications to serve as Prime Minister.
General Prawit said he had no concerns about House Speaker Chuan Leekpai forwarding a petition from MPs of the opposition Pheu Thai Party to the Constitutional Court for a ruling.
The opposition MPs allege that General Prayut is unqualified to be prime minister in the wake of the March election because he should be considered a state official and this is prohibited by the Constitution from holding any Cabinet position.
“I’m not worried,” Prawit said. “[Prayut] can still perform his duties. I don’t think this issue will affect confidence in the government.”
He said the Ombudsman’s Office had studied the matter and found nothing wrong with Prayut’s qualifications.
Meanwhile, Senate Speaker Pornpetch Wichitcholchai said on Monday that Chuan, who is also Parliament president, simply complied with the Constitution in forwarding the petition to the court.
“We will have to wait for a judgment from the Constitutional Court,” he said. “The process is in line with the provisions of the Constitution.”
MP Ladawan Wongsriwong, spokesperson for the opposition Pheu Thai Party, on Monday called on Prayut to voluntarily stop performing his duties while the petition was under court consideration.
She said Prayut should be considered a state official and thus unqualified to contest the election as a PM candidate in the first place.

Lainaus: | WITH NEW CABINET, THAILAND REPLACES JUNTA WITH ARMY ALLIES
By Associated Press -July 18, 2019 11:07 am
BANGKOK — Thailand’s new Cabinet was sworn in Tuesday, creating a nominally elected government after five years of military rule but keeping power in the hands of the same allies of the army.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn presided over the swearing-in of the Cabinet, whose 36 members pledged their loyalty to the constitutional monarch. The Cabinet’s inauguration dissolved the junta that had governed while giving itself almost unlimited powers without oversight.
“Every task has obstacles. Every mission faces problems,” the king told the Cabinet members. “It is normal to take on work and solve problems so that the country can be run smoothly according to circumstances.” The Cabinet then held its first meeting at Government House.
Prayuth Chan-ocha, who as army commander seized power in a 2014 coup ousting an elected government, returns as prime minister. This time he was elected by a parliamentary vote after a March general election that was held under a new constitution and laws enacted by Prayuth’s junta aimed at disadvantaging established political parties in favor of the military and its conservative allies.
The measures were seen as being directly particularly at the Pheu Thai party. The party and its predecessors have won every national election for two decades and have been ousted in two military coups. The party founder is telecoms tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra, whose populist policies and enormous political support threatened the influence of Thailand’s traditional power holders, including the military.
After seizing power in 2014, Prayuth declared a war on money politics and so-called “influential persons,” including political power brokers with shady connections.
But in assembling a political machine, the Palang Pracharath Party that made him its candidate for prime minister recruited the same types of wheeler-dealers and made alliances with some to attain a majority.
“This Cabinet either represents old wine in a new bottle,” said Paul Chambers, a political scientist at Naraesuan University in northern Thailand, referring to major posts held by former members of Prayuth’s military government, “or a product of a multiparty and multi-factional balance of power.”
Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a professor of political science at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University, described the Cabinet as “dominated by patronage politics and paybacks,” including at least two members with questionable reputations who were recruited for their abilities to turn out the vote.
“The unsavory few who have had a shady and criminalized past are surprising because they will be a lightning rod on the Prayuth government’s credibility,” he said in an email interview. “It suggests that Prayuth has paid a high price for luring old-style politicians and influential figures into his party and Cabinet.”
Prayuth is both prime minister and defense minister in the new government.
His key partners are Democrat party leader Jurin Laksanawisit, who is deputy prime minister and commerce minister, and Bhumjai Thai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul, who is deputy prime minister and health minister. Anutin campaigned for legalization of the production of marijuana to aid farmers.
Three other deputy prime ministers held the same jobs in Prayuth’s military government. One, Prawit Wongsuwan, was a senior career military officer like Prayuth. Another former senior officer, Anupong Paojinda, retains the post of interior minister.
Prayuth, in a Monday night speech marking the political transition, said “Thailand is now fully governed as a democratic country with a constitutional monarch, possessing a parliament that is elected and a government endorsed by the parliament. Several rights and liberties are safeguarded by the constitution in line with the highest international norms. Pending problems will be solved through democratic processes without the application of any special powers.”
Prayuth recently revoked 66 of more than 500 special executive orders that he had enacted under the junta. Critics said it was an attempt to make it appear that the military is relinquishing power and transitioning to an elected government. The executive orders he retained enable the military to influence politics, such as one that allows soldiers to search and arrest people they suspect of threatening national security for up to seven days without charges.

Suhteellisen kovaa tekstiä jutussa. Kieltämättä tuo kuvio on aika erikoinen mitä tulee pääministeriin ja lähipiiriin. Ei tuo ole mennyt ihan niin kuin itse toivoin menevän. Viime aikojen tapahtumat ei kyllä ainakaan paranna tilannetta. Eli tavallaan epävarmuus jatkuu vaikka on siviilihallitus, jonka sanan voisi laittaa lainausmerkkeihin tietyssä mielessä.
Lainaus: | OPINION: THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE UNDER THAILAND’S FAKE DEMOCRACY
By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer - August 4, 2019 10:54 am
ith a functioning opposition bloc in Parliament, it would be easy to say Thailand is transitioning back to semi-democracy. But there’s a case to be made that Thailand in 2019 remains a fake democracy.
Parliament’s upper house was selected by Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, the former junta leader who is now both prime minister and defence minister. No true democracy would allow a dictator to appoint virtually the whole senate, which ended up endorsing the dictator’s bid for a second term as prime minister earlier this year.
Prayuth arguably had no chance of becoming prime minister without the coup. It was the 2014 coup that enabled Prayuth to install himself in power for five years, before paving a political, judicial and legal system that set him up to continue as prime minister after the March general “election”. The current system should be called a fake democracy.
The risk of a possible coup by hawkish Army Chief Gen. Apirat Kongsompong means that any exercise of democratic rights, particularly the right to protest, will risk further military intervention.
In a country where fake luxury handbags and fake Rolexes are common, a counterfeit democracy might not be all that alarming. As long as a majority are happy with the illusion that Thailand is a democracy, what’s the point of making a fuss?
Fake democracy gives us an illusion of choice. Thailand had elections, even though the chances of the opposition winning were severely curtailed by electoral rules designed by lawmakers directly and indirectly chosen by the junta leader.
Fake democracy may be shoddy yet we have something that resembles an elected government. Prayuth goes to work every day for the good of the Thai people, some say.
The problem is that we never exercised real, meaningful electoral choice. We do not have real freedom but a fake freedom – an illusion of being really free. We are free as long as we do not overstep the boundaries set by the society.
Thailand enjoys neither genuine freedom of speech nor press freedom due to a draconian lese majeste law. Those who want to speak their mind freely have to leave the Kingdom for good and some do not feel safe even abroad.
Kyoto-based monarchy critic Pavin Chachavalpongpun claimed this week that an unidentified man tried to assault him in his flat. He has since been inactive on Facebook, where he criticizes the institution of the monarchy to over 170,000 followers.
Although the attack was unsuccessful according to Pavin, who told the tale during a symposium in the US earlier this week, the story has left some other exiled dissidents shaken. After all, two bodies of Laos-based republicans floated up the Mekong river late last year, while five more are missing and presumed dead.
“There is really no refuge for those seeking refuge,” wrote Korea-based former student activist Chanoknan Ruamsap, who fled Thailand two years ago after being accused of lese majeste for sharing a critical biography of King Rama X published by BBC. On Friday, she announced that her Facebook had been temporarily hacked. She can’t help but feel paranoid and suffers from insomnia.
Perhaps it’s less painful to simply be convinced that we have real democracy and freedom. That way we can be content, if not happy, and go about our daily routines without constantly feeling cheated and disappointed.

Muru aamulla tulkkaili jotain kiivasta keskustelua. Nyt kai on semmoinen tilanne että "vanha kaarti" sai kuitenkin niin heikon enemmistön että haastajat torppaavat kaiken?
Muru pitää tilannetta toivottomana ja meidän molempien mielestä tuo Trump vs. Kiina tulee aiheuttamaan tullisodan seurauksena valuuttasodan. Silloin keskuspankin pitää tietää mitä tekee, ei vaan luulla.
Ensin korot alas (taitaa mennä jo)? |

Kyllä minunkin mielestäni keskustelu on kiivasta nyt politiikan saralla ja PM Prayut Chan-o-chan kohdalla tilanne jokseenkin hankala. Eli omasta mielestäni nuo viime vaalit ei itsessään paljoa tilannetta muuttanut vaikka nyt on "demokraattinen" valta maassa. Saada nähdä mitä tapahtuu. _________________ ทีโม บุรีรัมย์

Vähän vanha uutinen, mutta aika iso sakki samaa mieltä kuin minä siitä, että pitkälle sama sakki säätää asioita kuin sotilashallituksenkin aikaan. He lienee nyt siviilejä. Tosin otos gallupissa pieni eli 1223 henkilöä. Enkä nyt silti täysin itsekään mollaa edeltäviä aikoja ennen vaaleja. Hyviä asioita muun muassa on tuo Welfare card ja sekin, että maassa ollut suhteellisen rauhallista. Siihen kyllä vaikutti se kun toisinajattelijat vaiennettiin ja siinä lähes sama meininki menossa nytkin.
Lainaus: | Over half of Thais feel Government’s performance unchanged – Suan Dusit Poll
October 6, 2019
Over half of the respondents to a Suan Dusit Poll feel that the performance of the pre and post-election governments under Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha are the same.
The poll gauged the opinions of 1,223 people from various occupations across the country between October 1st and 5th.
51.68% of the respondents said there is no difference in the performance of the two governments because they contain the same people in charge and the same old policies.
41.70%, however, said the performance of the post-election government is worse, citing the economic slowdown, widespread poverty and failure to address the root causes of problems.
6.62% of the respondents said they feel the performance has improved, citing the government’s “Chim-Shop-Chai” program and the populist Welfare Card scheme.
On the achievements of the post-election government, 49.11% of the respondents gave the thumbs-up to the Chim-Shop-Chai government scheme to boost the weakening domestic economy.
43.78% cited the government’s ability to maintain peace and order and 30.67% praised the government for investment in infrastructure development projects, such as the electric and high-speed train projects.
Regarding the government’s poor performance, 67.87% said the government has failed to control the prices of goods or the cost of living. 40.42% said the government has failed to stop drug trafficking and corruption and 22.43% cited government’s failure to keep its promise to increase wages.
56.94% of respondents said the government remains unable to resolve economic and bread and butter problems. 31.61% said the government has failed to address social disparity and 28.55% said the government has failed to curb corruption in development projects.
