Three of a kind
Play
It is interesting that three leaders in support of the government all agree with one another but express their view in a different way.
Thida Thavornseth says that if the court order verdict goes against her wishes, she can order hundreds of thousands to come on to the streets.
Chalerm Yoobamrung says Pheu Thai will respect the court verdict. He added he believed the court would not rule against “public feeling”. This presumably means Pheu Thai will stand back and let Thida get on with it if the court rules against it.
Jirayu Huangsap agreed but added the party hoped to receive “justice”. Justice is a colloquial Thai expression meaning “finds in our favour”. Over to Thida and the street rallies Pheu Thai proposed to legalise under reconciliation bills.
