Thai Military Bans Political Activity

[MasterJedi]

I doubt they're going to give up power. If they even do have elections they'll be rigged so they win all or most of them.

So...I wonder if the people who liked this before are happy now?

So you don't care about political freedoms unless the country is doing what you want.

And yes, the military doesn't have a party and they're running it but they don't have to basically ban all political parties from doing things. All their doing is trying to sement their power so they can have full control by "free" elections eventually.

And as opebo as pointed out, it's most liley the king behind this, and he's known for a commitment to democracy.

So you and Opebo are basically saying the King is essentially trying to restore an absolute monarchy in Thailand by means of this military coup? 

No, but to get rid of Thaksin, who was the REAL threat to democracy.

Sure, besides the fact that he was going to resign and this is just an excuse to take power. When the elections are rigged then you'll be the ones complaining.

Only good thing that could come is they could kill Opebo.

I love how the people who always talk about freedom are defending taking away freedom. Of course this is from the idiots known as BRTD and Opebo.

Only good thing that could come is they could kill Opebo.

You've really gone off the deep end.

Not really, I've always kinda wanted that.
