Now is the right time for the prime minister to reshuffle the cabinet, to change the game and the players, Suwat Liptapanlop, a key figure of Chart Pattana Party, said on Friday.

After one year in office, it was time for a change, just as football team commonly changes some players and improves its game after several matches, he said.

Mr Suwat said the decision on when and whether to make a minor or major reshuffle rests with the team captain -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

"game and players, and team captain-Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra." Makes sounds so innocent, Ali Baba and the forty robbers is more accurate I feel.

If team is losing, some or many of the players are not doing their jobs. Team captain quarterback Yingluck takes all plays from the sideline coach and team owner or has plays written on her forearm slate.

To compare a government with a football team Khun Suwat show us his childishness.
If the different ministers are competent, there is no need to change...
Of course, the actually government has a lot of incompetent Ministers, so to give it some new blood could be a good idea...but I think this government prefer to select Minister according to the queue of people waiting to get their award for good services towards the party !!!

The only reason he gives for a cabinet change is because football teams do it. That's a buffoonish statement even by PTP standards.
