Responding to: "Hungry 'parasites' drool over weak coalition govt" (Bangkok Post, 2019, August 17)
Like the dictator's new government, whose very legality is doubtful in view of its failure to comply with the constitutional requirement to take a precisely worded oath of allegiance, the PPRP was itself cobbled together from the bad old men of the bad old past. It is no surprise that the PPRP is much riven by the screeching traditionalists of the worst in Thai politics allied to the military as the motley parties that signed up on the pro-dictatorship side to get their noses right up there with the other bad old men of the bad old ways of traditional Thainess designed to "exploit benefits at the expense of the public."
