Somsak had charter talk with 'person far away'

The Pheu Thai Party's spokesman has confirmed that Parliament President Somsak Kiatsuranont said he had discussed with "a person far away" the charter amendment and reconciliation bills in a secretly-taped audio recording.

The Democrat Party splashed the Somsak tape on its own TV channel and accused the Speaker of serving Thaksin.

Mr Somsak was heard in the recording, broadcast on Tuesday on satellite channel Blue Sky, addressing his supporters in Phetchabun at a private meeting.

Android Disc.26 : You mean the 4 reconciliation bills - not charter amendment bills . However, this clip indicates that the parliament including its speaker is controlled by a man far away. Somsak said, that he had to convince the man far away to withdraw all the bills from the parliamentary debate. That means, that the man far away controls and influences the parliament. Android was confirming this in another discussion saying that Thaksin is pulling the strings behind the scene. I agree with Android.

Somsak has in fact done an excellent "mediator" task so that three out of the four charter amendment bills are set aside for the time being, thereby avoiding a serious conflict between the PT and Dems and their supporters.

'...the "person far away". The further the better and the sooner he stops interfering in Thailand the better off the country will be.

" Android: Discussion 20 b.hope : AV is stepping on other's toes. A simple and straight forward interpretation to you.."

Whether you like it or not; your master thaksin also takes chances as a PM to stole alot of money(taxes), selling state property he became more richer and richer. He even file charges to those who criticizes him. He even called UN "are you my father". Since then the military has to come out because of Thaksin's Abuse Authority, greed, lust of money. (bloodless coup 2006 should happen).

actually not related to your post, but thats what goes why thailand is divided.

Disc14 - chybyk You'd imagine that most Bangkok Post readers are the products of western educations. They are long term residents. They have plenty of experience of life and business in Thailand. They are generally from democratic countries... And most of them appear to be anti-Thaksin.

There's a conclusion to be drawn here. It will be interesting to see what conclusion UDD supporters draw.

The bottom line is that the Peau Thai Party was elected by the people by a substantial majority, knowing full-well that Thaksin would be pulling the strings and the PTP would do their best to bring him home to run the country - which he was doing before he was ousted by the unelected military. It is democracy in action, because the will of the people is being satisfied despite the minority wanting otherwise.

Disc #9: Just 1 voice: From my post 128people liked /20people disliked this comment seems everyone knows the real reason

..Or perhaps you feel the only "democratically elected" government is one that is put together in military barracks, as the Democrats did .

Hey hey hey, the DEM did not win inside military barracks, but they won in parliamentary vote as normally being done. Like the same with Mr. Samak and Mr Somchai, there was no election but they have won seat through parliamentary vote,.. But with the too much unlawful redshits with the backing of their fugitive PM of course have DEM has to get help from military. (police never done anything)

Is this audio recording really a surprise or a surprise someone actually has their hands on factual evidence? The country is being destroyed for the benefit of person and his cronies. This will all backfire in the end as there is no way to economically save the financial disaster Thailand is heading into. Ask Hosni Mubarik in Eqypt what happens next.
