Academics wonder how Pheu Thai is preparing to deal with the issue of domination after Thaksin stands out as if he is the real prime minister. The point of reference is whether Ung Ing's policy statement will repeat her father's vision or not. They see the establishment of the cabinet as a political game between Thaksin and Big Pom. Mr. Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, a legal scholar from Thammasat University, said about the formation of the government of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra that the formation of this government did not agree on the quota of ministerial positions in advance, but moved quickly to vote for the prime minister after 2 days after Mr. Settha Thavisin left office. This caused the current problem to arise in the Palang Pracharath Party, which was divided into 2 groups and proposed 2 lists of ministers. Therefore, it is up to the prime minister and the Pheu Thai Party to decide on the issue of General Prawit Wongsuwan because this is a political matter. As for the stability of the government, even if General Prawit is not there, the Democrat Party will come in to fill the vacancy. Therefore, the MP votes should not be a problem. When asked whether many people saw Thaksin Shinawatra's involvement in the cabinet formation as a way to get back at Thaksin, Prinya said that the prime minister must have the freedom to make decisions, even if he has to consult with others or even his family. However, in politics, it must be acknowledged that it is a decision on whether Thaksin Shinawatra will choose to reconcile with General Prawit or not. If he decides to reconcile with General Prawit, it would make Captain Thammanat Prompao's declaration of independence strange. However, if Captain Thammanat is chosen, it would be a different story. 'Previously, it was clear that Thaksin did not choose General Prawit, so Colonel Thammanat and more than 20 MPs came out. Therefore, we have to wait and see when the cabinet will submit it to His Majesty.' When asked about Thaksin's role in returning and being criticized as p olitical domination, Mr. Prinya said that this matter is in the Political Party Act, Section 29, which prohibits persons who are not party members from controlling, dominating, and giving orders, which can lead to a complaint to the point of dissolving the party. He did not know if Pheu Thai Party and Mr. Thaksin had thought about these matters or not, and thought that this matter would have something to do with it. If Thaksin's role went in a way that made him look like the real prime minister and Ms. Paethongtarn did not make it look like she was independent, this issue would arise. This matter is also different from the time of Ms. Yingluck Shinawatra, the former prime minister, who at that time did not hold any position in the Pheu Thai Party in order to prepare for the event that the Pheu Thai Party was dissolved and the government continued. However, in Ms. Paethongtarn's era, it was like the era of Mr. Somchai Wongsawat, when the prime minister also held the position of party leader. In addition, durin g Mr. Somchai's era, the Political Party Act did not have any domination issues, but now in the current Political Party Act, there is an issue prohibiting domination. When this issue came up, he did not know how Pheu Thai Party prepared. 'We have to wait and see when the policy statement is announced. Is what Paethongtarn said the same or different from what Thaksin said on the night of the vision presentation? Simply put, if Paethongtarn is not the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, she will be able to say that she is helping the prime minister, not the party. But when Paethongtarn is the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, how will they be separated? This will be a problem because there may be people who are already attached to Thaksin or during the 6 months he was in the Police Hospital. They may go and complain, which will make Thaksin, who is already a target, become another target of Paethongtarn. I don't know how Thaksin or the Pheu Thai Party are preparing. And this is my observation. The role of Thaksin that people saw that night was so prominent that he was like the real prime minister. Economically, it is considered a positive thing. It seems that it can stimulate the economy because there were leading businessmen who came to listen. But politically, it is something that should have something to do with it. We have to wait and see.' Mr. Prinya also said that the establishment of the cabinet should not be delayed. The caretaker cabinet should not continue to replace the real cabinet because there is already a prime minister. It should be rushed. The Pheu Thai Party must hurry to finish it as soon as possible. When asked if the cabinet needed the Democrat Party, Mr. Prinya said that they would have to ask the Pheu Thai Party because the votes now exceed 300, which is stable and sufficient. In fact, it is not necessary, but it may be a political move to weaken the opposition because the fewer the opposition, the stronger the government. And if we look at the future election, the more internal conflicts the compe titors have, the better the political outcome for the Pheu Thai Party. Source: Thai News Agency
