As an American who has visited Thailand many times.... The people just want Western Freedoms and more democracy.. Its Time !
You're absolutely right. Democracy baby!
American needs to sweep and clean their backyards and stop interfering others kap.🤫
People want food on the table, stability and prosperity, not some ideology. Otherwise we'll end up like americans, poor and uneducated yet believing they're the best in the world
Their Democracy is a Paid one and in the past what democratically elected person has improved Thailand??
Second Westernised and modernization era
I, as a Thailand citizen believe that Pita (Kao Klai Party) will be voted and form the government. And I strongly believe that he will move our society to the next level.
Today I vote for his party already.
I wish too!
Never happens! The very rich Thai people know how to prevent this!
@who are you
Be careful of influence of Army Generals with power.
Remember the Thai army has a history of performing a "COUP" if it isn't getting its way.
You are leaving a government operated by the army.
They will be DRUNK with power.
@@c.k.2
Thailand awash with corruption.
Thai army will have another COUP if it isn't satisfied their influence isn't heeded.
Thai army is DRUNK with power.
No more Junta
No more Military
Move Forward sounds like a pretty cool party. Hope they do well.
Today I voted for that party already.
Any political party which is into progress will be illuminated and destroyed within a year!
Same same over the last decade!
I am 53 years old Thai. We have learned a lot from our political history. I never see Thai people alert to vote like this coming election because of most of us want to change our country by supporting the Moving Forward Party (MFP). Not only MFP's straightforward direction to against dictators and more than 300 policies that covering issues in Thailand but also we believe that they have clear background and intention to eliminate corruption from our country. We hope that our brighter and better future will be happen in Thailand after we have Pita Limjaroenrat as our new PM.
LOL they literally backed by Billionaire Thanathorn that is a Western Puppet! If Pita becomes Thanatorns dog then Thailand will be the next Ukraine!
Thank you for the report! I didn't know anything about this.
The possible lineup for the two Opposition Parties will Paetongtarn as Prime Minister and Pita as Deputy PM.
Other way round I think
I’m shocked at the accurate pronunciations of the names in this video!!
Chan, Wong, Shin, & Lim
Prayut, Prawit, Paetongtarn, and Pita. In Thailand we use First name then surname format. Or maybe this is supposed to be a joke and I missed it completely 😂
Paetongtarn's Chinese clan name is actually Ku, not Shin.
Pitha, is the chosen one for sure!!!
It is disheartening to witness an individual, who identifies themselves as an educator, advocate for an undemocratic stance. Whether they hold the position of a teacher, professor, doctor or any other title, their endorsement of such a notion is concerning. Despite the resounding victory of Mr. Pita's Move Forward party in the election, there are individuals, including the mentioned teacher, who express concerns that the laws proposed by Mr. Pita could potentially lead to a situation akin to a civil war. However, it is important to acknowledge that the exact number of people holding this viewpoint is currently unknown.
Regardless of the potential concerns expressed by some individuals, it is crucial to uphold the principles of fair representation and respect the will of the people. Withholding votes and undermining the democratic process, as certain Thai senators intend to do, is not in line with these fundamental principles. The election results have indicated strong support for Mr. Pita's party, highlighting the democratic choice made by the majority of the Thai population.
It is imperative that the newly formed government led by Mr. Pita be given the opportunity to govern and address the proposed laws through democratic means. This includes allowing the elected representatives to participate in the legislative process, engage in debates, and consider differing viewpoints. Democracy provides a platform for open dialogue, ensuring that concerns are heard and deliberated upon in order to make informed decisions for the betterment of the nation.
It is disappointing that an individual in an educational role would fail to recognize the significance of democratic values and instead choose to amplify the potential for civil unrest.
Democracy thrives on inclusivity, allowing for the representation of diverse opinions and the pursuit of peaceful resolutions. By dismissing the democratic process and promoting fear of conflict, we undermine the very principles that should guide us towards a more equitable and prosperous future.
It is crucial for the teacher and the senators to learn how to look at things from multiple dimensions, rather than making assumptions about the likelihood of civil unrest. Complex issues such as legal reforms require a nuanced understanding of various perspectives and potential outcomes. It is through engaging in constructive dialogue, considering alternative viewpoints, and seeking compromise that we can arrive at balanced and informed decisions. By embracing a multidimensional approach, both the teacher and the senators can contribute to a more inclusive and democratic society, one that values diverse opinions and fosters peaceful resolutions to complex challenges.
The senate can overturn the result if the opposition win. However, next year, the appointed senate will be dissolved. Hence, the general election will happen again, next year.
ยินดีกับการเปลี่ยนแปลง
Best wishes & best of luck to move forward.May u get land slide & sky fall votes.
Hope their weasel Army General and monarch can respect the clear voices of Thai voters, have the decency to set aside their political plot for once, allow Move Forward Party formed coalition government to govern until end of their mandated term without resorted to more anti-democratic dictatorial rule and regulation to justify conducting another smooth coup de'tat on people elected candidate and chosen political party.😏
Pita and Move Forward Party are suitable to be PM.
If the EC does not ban them like last time
@@clivebaxter6354 that is what i hope it should not happen. The country really need to heal.
