You can't judge a book by its cover! just wait and watch.

Just like her dad, she is skilled at spewing repetitive talking points without saying much at all. Let's now wait and see if Thaksin actually returns as promised in August 10 and what effects it has on the process of forming the next government. Pheu Thai Party's allegiance has been called into question, as in does Thaksin still pull the strings? He's so predictable in playing down his influence and true intentions, saying he just wants to help the country and the people, when his life story speaks to the contrary that he ultimately wants to be the God of Thailand and steal everything while he's still breathing. He and his daughter now are well-versed in how to win over the masses of people who actually believe they care about them. It's called populism and unfortunately many people still fall for their hollow promises.

Thailand never die I fully support you and your Pheu Thai Party

[@kentedify]

Remember Thailand has has 24 coups [14 successful] since 1932 when they abolished the absolute monarchy] so when they offer rationalizations for the coup, they find about two excuses a decade to overthrow the elected leader. Thaksin and Yingluck won by landslides. I think that should mean something in a democracy.

[@carbone913]

Democracy maybe not the word as a disruption all over the world is happening now.🤞

[@nyinyinyein8652]

She is just pawn.

[@oberstleutnant787]

Prefer the present prime minister to remain as prime minister, his position in the army will retain stability to the nation. This woman is too young and unsuitable to hold the high position.

The royalist backed Military will soon make her "Disappear". that happened many times before. She should kep a small commuter jet on standby so she can flee the country.

[@roverteam4914]

I'm laughing my ass off that she said her family is one of the victims...Her family literally stole and cheated the citizens of their taxes while in power and her father is still living freely abroad without having to serve sentences....😂😂😂
I dont know if this is true democracy....
