Preecha: I'm still with Puea Thai

Samut Prakan MP Preecha Prasopdee on Thursday reaffirmed his loyalty to Puea Thai and denied leaving for another party.

The MP admitted that he had said he would go to talk to Somsak Prisnananthakul of the Chart Thai Pattana Party, but this was because he wanted to learn about the political situation from him.

Mr Pracha said he sympathised with the decisions of actor-turned-politician Natee Suthinphuak (aka Krung Srivilai) and Jiraphan Limsakulsirirat, also Puea Thai MPs for Samut Prakan, for having announced their intention to defect to the Bhumjaithai Party.

    Septic at Disc#3: Your postings are virtually identical in style to the person who spent months defending Thaksin's corruption cases in the BP forum, this person used quasi-legalese ramblings, but was ultimately ripped apart and silenced by an actual lawyer. It's good to see that you're back.

    Kasit will be on the next plane to Africa now on his hunt for the elusive former double election winning prime minister to ask for a job in the next government.

    @Sceptic: Thaksin got his majority after buying votes and support. He is the most corrupt politician ever.

    #2. I couldn't agree more. The fact is all parties in Thailand are the fiefdoms of a few rich men. Most of the MP's are simply their clients looking for a suitable billet in order to get their noses in the trough. Ironically the one party/leader who went some way to breaking this mould was TRT/Thaksin. And one of the real reasons for ousting him was that, with his huge majority and effective party control, there were many who saw no prospect of ever again getting their hands on the goodies. It is not for nothing that perceived corruption, which declined in the Thaksin years, is now running wild again.

    They should not have been condemned by the party, because "it was normal for MPs to switch parties, he said."
    This one sentence says everything about Thai politicians - no ideology, no loyalty, no political platform, no sense of betrayal towards the voters - nothing but dirty-rotten-scoundrels who follow the money!

    isn't this harbouring a fugitive? Shouldn't Preecha be charged, knowing the whereabouts and not devulging to the police?
