After writing the rules, junta sends in referees to play the game
Four key ministers are retaining their government posts after joining a political party, in what is a clear conflict of interests that fools no one. No game is considered fair where a player is also the referee.
PM Prayut, according to all polls, is highly popular, and the junta will win a landslide at the election – after all, didn’t it write the rules of the game? Having the ministers keep their positions unnecessarily rubs salt in the wounds of Thai democracy – they should play by the same rules as everybody else, so their win will be legitimate.
