Parties can send a message to Prayut

Parties can send a message to Prayut

Re: “Prayut urges voters to resist picking ‘the same old faces’ at election”, Politics, June 11.

The parties need to step up this criticism. Everyone understands that the junta is trying to cheat. However, there are limits on what is acceptable cheating – and this kind of practice of using tax monies for political purposes is a good wedge issue to criticise.
When a politician shouts words like “the louder you shout for Prayut, the more money we get!”, it does more harm that good.
Political parties, in my view, need to begin speaking up about the cheating sooner rather than later.
If you accept a crooked process, then you can’t complain about a crooked result later. It is time to consider not participating (en masse) in the election if you deem it too crooked. And you need to tell the people why.

Bad as they are, the old faces are better than his. They are all from the same generation culturally. To them corruption is normal and okay and lying to the masses to cling to power is the only way to go.
This new tycoon young gun politician seems a far better option.

Do I read this correctly or is it just too early? Another piece of excellent advice from the wise one. Don’t vote for someone you are familiar with, vote for a complete stranger you know nothing about.

Maybe I am alone but I consider the “military political party” to fall into the category of the same old faces. It’s just that the people never have to vote for them, they just force their way in.
 They always have the same opinion, never opt for any real changes and demand that people do as they say. Yes, people do need to vote for candidates they trust.
Candidates they can trust to finally make the military do its proper job and leave politics alone.

What has Prayut fixed in the four years since he appointed himself prime minister? Sadly competence eludes him for has not fixed one single thing, except for Lamyai's twerks.
 Even simple things like pavements and beach chairs and the lottery system.
What hope has he got with the big ticket items like the the Eastern Economic Corridor, high-speed trains, reducing the road death toll, improved incomes for the farmers?
He and his ministers have been total failures.
