Excuses BKK post I used the wrong posters name please rectify.

Johnb, "They are simply trying to slow down the government's progress for cheap political gains." Your memory seems pretty short and selective, this was the hallmark of PT last time in the opposition. Think before writing.

As fast as the government is trying to fix the country's problems the Dems are throwing spanners in the works. The government has already approved compensations for victims in the south.They are simply trying to slow down the government's progress for cheap political gains.
