- Thailand’s biggest election winner, the Move Forward Party, has been sidelined. Court challenges threaten the eligibility of its leader Pita Limjaroenrat.
After rounds of voting, parliament has yet to pick a Prime Minister. Meanwhile, the eight party pro-democracy coalition is severely tested, with conservatives blocking their moves. Protestors rally in support of Pita and his alliance, even as lawmakers disagree over Lèse-majesté laws and political reform.
In this forum special, Insight examines how the political turmoil will affect Thailand.

Mr. Pita didn’t fail, he success, he build victory, he even sacrifice the title but he got block by military and unfair systems. I’m Thai and no matter or whoever will become 30th PM, I cloud careless. Mr. Pita will be my one and only PM!
เห็นด้วยคะ

Your Mr. Pita is a CIA operative charged with destroying your country and making you suffer….
Do yourself a favor by doing your own research instead of falling for Western propaganda. Yes, they’ve been buying media outlets in Thailand for years to capture people who fall for propaganda and cheap information.
Look around you and see how many countries they have destroyed by installing traitorous governments loyal only to them with the help of their media and often armed bandits.
The difference now is that the world has increasingly recognized what they are up to and is stopping it, such as your senate booting out Thailand’s latest upstart or Africa’s Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger deposing the pro western governments usurping the wealth of the land….
You lie.

Our ignorance makes us easily manipulatable by predatory forces such as the western governments in our midst who have for long wreaked havoc on practically everybody else….
All because we and many others around the world have put it in to our collective heads that change for the better will come to us from someone or something out there….
A complacency and laziness that makes us a danger to ourselves and others….
If we want change, then each of us individually should change what needs changing in ourselves, and the rest will take care of itself….
Why this concept is lost on so many of us here in Thailand is puzzling as it is the very essence of Buddhism….
So, let us wake up and help ourselves, starting by cultivating the highest ethics and taking responsibility for our own knowledge….
To that end, we must read, read, read, and read some more widely and deeply for a handle on truth and reality, not forgetting Scripture and uplifting literature as well….
For only then will we arrive at a certainty that enables us to do the right thing….

Constitutional law has been legislated by the junta, that causes all the problems. People’s majority vote has been rejected.
Constitutional law was nationally voted in referendum and accepted by majority of Thai people. Do not lie.
This is because the majority is ignorant and easily manipulatable by predatory forces such as the western governments in our midst who have for long wreaked havoc on practically everybody else….

Thailand needs to ban the military from politics, especially unelected members.
They will but can’t because of the old power aka the junta by prayut.
How ?
Or
Use weapons 🤪
I don't think turkeys vote for Christmas...
@@lezzeppelin2222The King can ban the military from politics and Parliament. However, the King spent his young years in military training in Australia. So, the King is close to the military than his people. He didn't learn politics and law.
The whole world 🌍 knows that Pita is the winner!!! He is elected by people not by power? Thai people should fight for the right…Don’t give up..
We dont know how to flight. Millitary has a gun.😢
@@nenen.1300 yeah it’s true! Not easy.. the decision is controlled by military..
Talk does not cook rice
A country with 40% Democracy 60% Militacracy it's will be very hard for the country to move forward, This issue will stay with Thai peoples for a long time to come. Sad world
Democrazy, it's Anglosaxon myth
There is no such thing as democracy. Is just a sugar coating word to make people feel good. Don't be naive. Racial and colour status play par.
like u.s democrazy works perfectly... that the president gets the most votes.. that no party gerrymander electoral maps....
Military :/So you all want make decisions yo like, and we are one to sacrifice our live in battles. 😊
Thailand is quickly becoming slaves of China by borrowing money and enrolling in the China controlled cashless Brick system. China will control the water flowing into SE Asia to keep them in line.
Supporting MFP from Myanmar 🇲🇲 🤍 🇹🇭
Thai Civilians Must Overthrow Thai Military by Force for Pure Democracy!! 🔥 💪
What happened is the dictator still wants to have power over people’s vote
Pita is a visionary to save Thailand from wrong governance . He’s the hope of Thai People.
My Prime Minister. I am proud of him and move forward party. Shinawatra's party has betrayed their voters, but MFP keeps their promises. We will walk with MFP, no matter how long it takes, how rough the path is, until the people truly win.
Thai military is confident to do its politics as they are as it is supported by the Monarchy. As both are threatened by abolishment. The opposition parties are just waiting for a chance to overturn the entire political system.
The monarchy won't ever abolish if the king can act wisely and meet his people expectations like previous king who loved by his people
The main problem is there are third party involve which is superpower country which is us in opposition side who pro democracy and prayuth who backed by china.
All the prayuth side is want to centralized power and people must obey them like what happen in all dictatorship country
Thai military is divided. 2014 coup makers have no longer control the military, so their appointed senators are clueless, now.
@@bimasakit766 Prayuth has no longer controlled the military. His only wish is to live in the US peacefully.
@@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616 prayuth not controlled military?? All the junta leader even become head of government but still controlled the military through his proxy. Have you hear about soeharto?? One of military dictator from indonesia??
How he can become president at indonesia for about more than 30 years if his military don't support him?? He overthrown the first indonesia president, soekarno with support from indonesia army and remain in power for about 30 years.
All parties knew the election rules and the referendum constitution prior to the election yet don’t want to follow.
No coup needed. As long as some of the MPs are controlled by the military nothing will happen. This is how the democracy game is played and the military learn fast and out manourver their opponents
It's just the numbers there to fkn dumb. It's not rocket science
The rule in democracy is all military and police is prohibited to participate in the election. The country belong to people not the military and his crony
Thailand will never have a true democratic government
democracy is overrated... it's only a facade, deep down nothing changes
Yea Thailands Doesn’t want to end up like Ukraine!!!
whats a true democracy? and how?
yes ,this is true@@Iceyfire12
We will win definitely , if not immediated
Each one of these speakers are talking on their tippy toes. Doing their best to avoid being perceived as anti-king or anti-military.
They knew ,what they’re doing to safety they butts otherwise something could happened.🤪
What's the point of having a debate if it's censored there is no point and no freedom of speech .
China's dictators!!!!
that lady's command of English is excellent and clever too . I have been 'here' for 20 years and struggle to converse . I won't ( can't) comment on the political side of all this ,I need to renew my visa but the only country with a larger undemocratic second chamber is mine ,the House of Lords ,embarrassing as it is . The wealth gap is worth looking at , I live in a small village near Cambodia and what transpires here would shock the Pattaya farrang community ,it's another world . The naivety of the MFP was surprising considering the stakes . Having those shares was sloppy and if you have an agenda that is controversial ,why not lay low and once in power enact it .
I think all of the four commentators in this program know more about Thailand politic than people who live in Thailand. Their points of view and knowhow exceed most Thai. Excellent!
โกงแล้ว โกงอยู่ แล้วจะโกงต่อ..... (คนไทยยอมรับไม่ได้ นี้มันประชาธิปไตยจริงเหรอ?)
It's looks like this political issue in Thailand will drag again for few more years,9 years it seem not matured yet,hope the people will be firm and yet in peaceful manner
😊😊😊
Brainwashing is using in Thailand education. Sadly
Speaking without honesty, the Thai panelist evades the issue making the analysis empty. When the issue is about the lese majeste, she says 'the palace has stayed above the fray.' I wish you invite a different type of person someone with integrity.
What monarchy in the world has absolute power this is backward ways
Excellent commentaries, so unlike most that we see in the West.
No MILITARY NO MONARCH
In your country yes , but this is Thailand so keep your butt out 🤪
Similar No Money No Honey or No Woman No Cry
Thaksin and 2014 coupmakers have contacted each other for many years. Now Move Forward Partty is more popular than Thaksin-linked party. Thaksin has to make a secret deal with the coupmaker to come back to shore up his popularity. This clip is wrong because the second vote is cancelled.
No he hasn't
@@underworldringside He has done it, man. Both he and 2014 coup plotters have stayed in touch with each other regularly.
@@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616 He will get a royal pardon and the army and Thaksin have zero contact.
@@underworldringside You're so naïve, man. Thaksin and 2014 coup makers are graduates from Military Preparatory Cadet Schools, man. They've known each other since their school time. Moreover, Thaksin hasn't request for a royal pardon yet.🤣🤣🤣
@@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616 Muppet my uncle went to DUNTROON with the King. You have no idea. Toddle along
Thai politics sadly is an embarrassment to the democratic world…😢
Why doesn't the king become PM he has absolute power after all
We’ll be can’t because he is already “under” the constitution. Also nobody wants a playboy king as absolute ruler of Thailand.
STFU boy , do some research before make stupid comments.
You can't put someone with such IQ to any job. ANY
Should be put on a international political watch list
Rigged system
Rigged since the coup and way before it. Truly a Thai culture isn’t it? Thailand only as they say.
Thank you!
if the people rise up, then it is very dangerous.
They won't rise up.
There is many kind of dangerous. But for sure it will be very dangerous for the junta and the tycoons and perhaps to us if a bloody coup happens AGAIN.
rise up? for what? we are happy and satisfied with what we have now.we dont want to be slave of usa
This means people in Thailand won't have democratic from this moment,they can rebellion anytime they wants to decide the future of their own, historical Thailand moment
Of course there is, but we must have armed forces.
most of Thai peoples want to get rid of military control and get rid of rich businessmen control rights now. Because money can do everything in Thailand right now. Corruption horrible during military control pass 9 years. Please update the news about politics in Thailand.
Miracle happens to everybody, just be bold, you may be touched by an angel.
I think the west leaders should put pressure on thai government and king
We have to say it clear: this election was a mockery to the people. Pita is not to compare to Thaksin. Thaksin was a Hitler admire. Pita is absolutely different. He gives hope of democracy to the people. And to say some clear words about this so called new king. In my point of view, there is no king anymore. Bhumipon Adunjadet was the last king of Thailand. He was a Dhammaradscha, a good educated person to be called a king. Bhumipon Adunjadet was for a long time the only democratic constant of Thailand. And this is a great compliment to a king. The new person, who someone may believes he is a king, he is not in anyway educated. He is a failed king. You can't insult him because he himself is an insult to the country and its people.
His party earns 151/500, not majority, not half. He has to rely on coalition of 8 parties and support from senators (who were selected according to national referendum constitution, not by military). And all parties knew these election’s rules prior to the election. He had to win 375/750 (representatives + senators)to able to form government but gained only 312.
Spot on! Thank you for sharing this info but I doubt if anyone would read your reply. They are blind with the only one side information, LOL.
But still, the system is rigged. Like choosing a Prime Minister should be chosen based on who wins the election not what bunch of unelected senators think like this is like the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, choosing a Prime Minister..
Now, from all of my sources, as far as I could, read, senators were chosen by the NCPO or at least the majority of them, you could say that not all of them are but the majority that makes up the Senate is essentially under the control of the military. (it is most certainly not a democratic institution as claimed by Thailand)
I could assure you that if you were in the military and you get to a higher enough position, you’re almost guaranteed to get a seat in the Senate.
the western media narrative are that Pita is already "the ELECTED PM " think his alignment with US may have given the other rep + senator FEAR and Doubt whether he will be for the Thai
@@aviatorsound914just like how you sum it up. If the senate were not involved the primister would have already been decided since the majority of the MPs votes were in favor of Pita.
No, we didn't vote the senetors themselves, the question in the referendum was about whether senetors would have power to vote for a prime minster, the one who appoints senetors is military.
To sum up, military appoints senetors, people only votes whether senetors can vote for a prime minister.
Thailand's people needs to step up.
In fact , Myanmar and Thailand share the same kind of system but Thailand’s seemed more sophisticated and more tolerant ! That might be the reason Thailand trapped into the middle-income 😅
Thailand…
Land of compromise
@@dinhgiatien6893it’s definitely due to the mentality many Thais have like “someday good things will happen so I will endure it”
How? tell me hah hah 🤪
We’ve been trying but stick and stone as well as gun and other invisible power are quite tough.
Good election of The Prime Minister,it is very competitive and handal, we watch what you did be seen the Thailand happened in the case. Subhanallah, semoga berkah.🇮🇩
So much corruption Thailand
Same as your country 🤪
?
Thais are generally peaceful, pragmatic, and thrifty. Despite an almost dysfunctional political system, the country runs just fine. Contrary to what the popular media will have you believe, Thailand is a prime example of why politics isn't the primary factor that determines the course of a nation.
just pray that Thailand won't end up like Myanmar
myanmar locked up a NED backed rebel leader
@@fatdoi003and how does this relate to anything unless you have an agenda against the US or NED role? The people gonna have to rely on someone to fight back the authoritative junta regime. My house maid village was blown up by air strikes by the Myanmar army. Kids gets killed left and right and don’t forget the military controlled monopolies benefiting the elites.
Of course there is, but we must have armed forces.
Yes, we all want to know who the establishment and the elites are. *wink, wink
Pita is the best
A few years ago, the Thai King said "Thailand always compromises". Is it?
How many political party in Thais system?
election in 2023 has a 67 party
18 party in palament
11 party in goverment
Thai people need revolution. See our Myanmar. God bless you all.
Better a Diamond with a flaw than a Pebble with out,your time WILL COME Move Forward
5:44 The profressor is giving the fact.
Thaksin needs to keep out of Thai politics
He has his own rights and he is Thai and don’t forget that. Either way Thaksin shouldn’t be able to be directly involved in party decision and politics in Thailand unless he holds a position. Don’t forget the corruption charges by the junta court too. Too risky for him if he don’t want to be bagged which he probably knows the risk which is why he’s very careful with his words in many newer interviews. For example, talking about the monarchy as such.
If MF has no connection with NED or USAID then there will be no problem.
Yea which shouldn’t be a problem but they’re being blocked by the conservatives aka the junta or whatever it is. They’re being blocked by officials who is favoring the junta even though they know they’re supposed to vote for pita. They’re some videos and evidences leaked confirming this.
I would put sanctions on Thailand
Pardon my ignorant----Can this panel address the question that this MFP party wins 151 seats out of 500 seats, so this means the leader of this party automatcally can become the PM? No Coalition ?
To become prime minister, a candidate needs 376 votes - more than half of the legislature. If no one reaches that threshold, another vote will be scheduled. The same candidates can be put forward again or new ones can be nominated and the process is repeated until one candidate gets 376 votes. There is no time limit.
The Establishment has been playing dirty tricks to try to get Pita disqualified from running in any future vote.
They are blatently going against the will of the people!
In normal political conditions, only 500 seats are counted. If any party gets more than 250 votes, it will automatically become Prime Minister. But the military constitution They added 250 senators for the prime minister's vote, 500+250=750.
That is what it should be but this is Thailand where military rule and the never in history that they can improve country economy. As they heavily corrupt.
@@unclefatbloke687 I refering to the western media who narrative are that Pita is already "the ELECTED PM "

Pray for Thailand, it clearly the old ordo doing fishy politic using the system. The system need changes. Lets pray for the good of Thai peoples!

Nothing will change until you remove the Kings I don't like calling him the king cause he's not worthy of that title
Sadly people still like argue about rEsPecT and cUlTurE when they don’t even know what they’re talking about. Culture of what? Suppressing the people? How bout when it’s about Japan’s work culture, do you want to still conserve that because it’s a traditional culture that have been done 100 of years? Really fed up with this crap when they’re all thinking about themselves not the people being stepped on.

Everything is going well...There is a constitution that is still in-effect...So if you chose to play by this rule, why complain.....This current constitution will expire by next year.....
The party has known the election rules Before The Jumping in even it was unfair rule but it was a rule but once they lost they just need to admit that. But what they did it just showed that they are not so smart at all.
Come on there is NO fair game in the world boys andgirls dont acting like in theideal world.the Winner must be smart enough to live and adjust themslve to suvive towin the game.

He needed 375 🗳️, collected only 324. Pure and simple.
Thai's Pita is young, well-educated, charm, civilized, and intelligent.
*- He's everything that Chinese Xi Jinping is not.*
Not young : ok
No charm : he's more charming, but to this extent.. the Xi has some gravitas
Not civilised : what's your definition of civilised ? Never saw the guy breach protocol or be impolite. That's stunning
Not intelligent : ???
And supported by the NED
He’s an American puppet.
Xi Jinping has proven himself many times over that he can lead China, a nation more than 10 times larger than Thailand. Pita is inexperienced, inept, and insensitive to the needs of Thailand. Without the financial and election engineering support from the NED, Pita would not even appear in fish wrappings.
he is a US backed shill.
he will destroy thailand .
president Xi is not.
Great Heist 😅
Red gaurd reborn in Thiland
What democracy delusional

They’re already in power no need
No need they already have their own system in place to ensure power like the senators. Coup only happen if MFP succeeds.
