Podcasts about move forward party

How much does it cost to become an MP in Thailand? Is entering parliamentary politics prohibitively expensive for ordinary people? Has the rise of the Move Forward Party (now the People's Party) changed the landscape as regards candidate selection and campaign finance?

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been appointed as Thailand's new Prime Minister, making her the youngest and second woman to hold the position, following in the footsteps of her aunt, Yingluck Shinawatra. This development raises questions about the resurgence of the Shinawatra political dynasty in Thailand. In a nation where the last election showed strong support for Pita Limjaroenrat from the Move Forward Party, the path to leadership has been obstructed by military influence and the entrenched old guard, reflecting the challenges facing democratization in both Thailand and across Southeast Asia. Join the Kopitiam Council as Haffisz and Adi delve into the complex political landscape of Thailand. Tune in to Kopitiam Council every week on:

In the past few weeks, Thailand has undergone a dramatic political transition with the appointment of Paetongtarn Shinawatra as the new prime minister. This development comes on the heels of a period of uncertainty and political turmoil following the dissolution of the Move Forward Party, the main opposition. Paetongtarn is the fourth member of the Shinawatra family to assume the role of prime minister and is under intense scrutiny. Many wonder whether she can navigate the political landscape without meeting the same fate as her predecessors, who were ousted by either the courts or the military. In this episode, Angela Mancini, Partner, sits down with Harrison Cheng, Director and lead Southeast Asia analyst, to unpack what Paetongtarn's rise to power means for Thailand's future. They discuss the critical next steps, including the formation of a new cabinet and strategies she might use to avoid the pitfalls that have historically plagued her family. They also discuss the potential impact of Paetongtarn's leadership on foreign investment and economic policy, with particular attention to how Thailand's business environment might evolve under her administration.

In a span of a week, the popular Move Forward Party was dissolved, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was dismissed and ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra's daughter Paetongtarn was installed as the new PM.  Teresa Tang breaks down all the developments with CNA's Saksith Saiyasombut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thailand's Constitutional Court has dissolved the Move Forward Party, citing violations of constitutional norms and banning 11 top leaders for ten years. This ruling is set to reshape the political landscape, especially given the party's notable performance in the 2023 elections. Dr. Termsak Chalermpalanupap, Visiting Fellow, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute shares his analysis into the impact of this decision and its implications for the future of Thai politics.Image Credit: shutterstock.com

How could the party that won the most votes and seats and helped boot a coup leader from office face court-ordered dissolution just one year later? Pita Limjaroenrat changed the face of Thailand's politics by leading his Move Forward Party to a huge win in 2023 parliamentary elections. But he was blocked from the prime ministership, hauled through the courts, and may now face the imminent dissolution of his party and a personal ban from politics.Pita tells us how he won, how he perseveres, and what aspiring politicos everywhere can learn from Thailand about campaign tactics, voter targeting, social media, and how to win against the odds.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.European Commission recommends opening EU membership talks with BosniaSummary: Earlier this week, the European Commission recommended opening EU membership talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina.Context: This is just an early step on the way to possible, eventual accession into the bloc, and the Commission noted that there's still a good deal of work left to do, including handling local ethnic rivalries and secession threats, but the EU is looking to expand—for economic and defense reasons—and this recommendation is meant to recognize the work the Bosnian government has already done, passing all sorts of laws that have brought it more closely into line with EU standards for things like human rights, corruption, and migration.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Thai election authorities seek to dissolve poll-winning Move Forward PartySummary: The Thai election commission has said that it will ask the country's constitutional court to disband the Move Forward Party, which took the majority of votes in last year's election, and which—among other progressive policies—has said it intends to change strict laws against insulting the country's royal family.Context: In January, the court found that the Move Forward Party's plans to change these laws violates the Thai constitution, and if the commission's efforts to dissolve the party are successful, that could result in a ban on its leaders from being involved in politics for a decade; the heads of the party have said they don't intend to overthrow the Thai system, which is democratic but places the monarch as the head of state, and they've said they'll prove their innocence in court; the forerunner of the Move Forward Party, the Future Forward Party, was dissolved in 2020 due to financial issues. —Al JazeeraMilei gives himself salary raise, backtracks after social media clashesSummary: The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has been criticized for approving a 48% raise for himself and his cabinet while overseeing dramatic cuts of government spending across the country and its agencies.Context: Milei claims that the raise was implemented by his predecessor and applied automatically, but his critics say that he approved the raise in February; Milei has said he will overturn this decree, though this is likely to continue to be a topic of conversation in Argentina, as the country continues to suffer staggering levels of inflation, and because child poverty levels recently hit 57% according to the UN Children's Fund, those levels on track to hit 70% the first quarter of 2024 unless something changes.—Buenos Aires HeraldThe effects were unevenly distributed (as tends to be the case with such things), but the US officially experienced its warmest-ever winter (on record), due to the impacts of climate change and the El Niño phenomena.—Axios$1.2 billionLow-end valuation of Michael Jackson's music catalog, based on a new deal for Sony Music Group to buy half of the late performer's publishing and recoded masters catalog.Higher-end valuations are hovering around $1.5 billion, but in either case, this represents the largest ever valuations of a performer's music assets (though the band Queen is seeking about $1.2 billion, which would put it in the same range).—BillboardTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

En een recordaantal echtscheiding in Saoedi-Arabië. (00:36) Gevaarlijke zaak voor Trump Opnieuw domineert Donald Trump de wereldwijde krantenkoppen met nieuws over een strafzaak tegen hem. Ditmaal wordt hij beschuldigd van het manipuleren van de presidentsverkiezingen van 2020 in de staat Georgia. En hoewel de oud-president al langer de justitie aan zijn broek heeft hangen, kan de zaak in Georgia een kantelpunt vormen. Te gast is correspondent Karlijn van Houwelingen. (10:20) Wat is er over van de Thaise hoop op meer democratie? Na jaren van de militaire junta gloorde er dan eindelijk hoop in Thailand: Bij democratische verkiezingen eerder dit jaar won verassend de Move Forward Party, met de belofte om het land grondig te gaan hervormen, met minder macht voor het leger en de monarchie. De oppositie sloeg de handen ineen, en was van plan om met een breed palet van partijen het land te gaan besturen. Maar nu een paar maanden verder lijkt er van die hoop maar weinig over. De militaire leiding heeft er alles aan gedaan om die partij buitenspel te zetten, met succes. Wat doet dat met de hoop van die miljoenen jongeren in Thailand? Rogier Busser, decaan bij Hogeschool van Amsterdam en Thailand-kenner, was de afgelopen maand in Thailand, en schuift aan.

This is part two of a two-part interview with Khun Ployjai Pintobtang, a lecturer in history at Chiang Mai University, about the history of democracy in Thailand and Asia. The discussion picks up where it left off, on the particular characteristics of Thai culture and society that might make it harder for democracy to take root. Greg begins by bringing up Ed's frequent point that there's essentially an ‘official' Thailand, how Thai elites describe their country, that is often at odds with what everyone knows is really happening in the country. Ed furthers the point that almost all Thai elites will give the ‘right answer': we want ‘real' democracy in Thailand, but then the very same elites go on to enact anti-democratic Constitutions.  A. Ploy concurs with these assessments and notes the difficulty as a Thai person in remaining optimistic given the apparently cyclical nature of Thai politics, where the government comes close to being truly democratic, only to fall back down into true authoritarianism due some ‘crisis' or another. A. Ed asks whether there is anything in the current political crisis that gives hope, and A. Ploy makes several points. The victory of Move Forward in the north of Thailand, the Pheu Thai stronghold, was unprecedented in the last 25 years. Also, the fact that Move Forward's base is made up of the Bangkok middle class and above, yet is pushing for truly progressive reforms, is a first in Thai history. However, reasons for pessimism exist as well. A. Ploy argues that no true change can happen until the current Constitution is seriously amended, which will be difficult to do given the current makeup of the Senate. She also notes that the next Prime Minister will likely be from the Pheu Thai Party, and there's no guarantee that Pheu Thai will really fight for the reformist agenda of the Move Forward Party now that K. Pita's bid is finished.  All three participants agree there are many more issues to discuss, and undoubtedly more drama is to come on the Thai political scene. Hence, a return visit for A. Ploy to the podcast is likely! Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

On May 14th, Thailand held general elections. The results were a shock to the Thai political system.   Since a 2014 coup, the military leaders have dominated Thai politics. A main opposition party has challenged military rule, but has been genereally thwarted at every turn.  However, this year a third party emerged victorious: and their vision for the country represents a radically progressive shift in Thai politics.  The Move Forward Party, lead by a charismatic Harvard and MIT educated 42 year  Pita  Limjaroenrat won the elections. And they did so, according my guest today, by chanellening a kind of progressive populism that can change Thailand's domestic political culture and foreign policy in big ways.  Prashanth Parameswrn is a Fellow at the Wilson Center and founder of the ASEAN Wonk Substack Newsletter.  We kick off discussing the political context in which Move Forward won these elections. We then have an extended conversation about how the Military Junta has rigged the Thai political system in such a way that the Move Forward Party may never actually be able to form a government. Even if they did, the threat of a coup would loom large. We then have an extended conversation about what this election means in terms of Thai foreign policy and geopolitical competition in Southeast Asia between the US and China.         

In a shocking revelation at this year's ITV annual meeting, it was revealed that the minutes of the meeting had been altered.This manipulation of the minutes of the annual meeting was done in order to give the appearance that Pita Limjaroenrat, Prime Minister Elext, was in possession of Media shares before running for office. --Myawaddy households struggle without power in ThailandOrdinary households in Myawaddy have been hit hard by the decision to cut off the supply of electricity across the border from Thailand, but big Chinese investors are unaffected, their huge complexes brightly lit as usual at night.Source – The Bangkok PostQuick police promotion spurs actionNational police chief Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas has ordered a panel to amend the commissioned officer application process following reports on the swift rise of a young female police officer from a lance corporal to captain in less than two years.Source – The Bangkok PostMove Forward suspects foul play in controversy over iTV's legal statusThe Move Forward party is demanding that the chairman of iTV and president and executive director of its holding company Intouch Holdings, Kim Siritaweechai, explain the discrepancy between his statement during and the minutes of the company's shareholder meeting regarding iTV's status as a media company.Source – Thai PBS WorldMore Drama Between Rival Taxi Drivers in PhuketA local taxi driver allegedly attacked and jumped onto a mobile application taxi car with a foreign passenger inside in the Thalang district.Source – The Phuket ExpressBoat Avenue shooting suspect charged with attempted murderThe Kazakhstani national, arrested in connection with last week's shooting at Boat Avenue, has been charged with attempted murder Phuket Police Chief Maj Gen Sermphan Sirikong confirmed to The Phuket News today (June 13).

Thailand held its general elections recently on 14 May, where the opposition beat the incumbent pro-military coalition. Surprisingly, it was the progressive Move Forward Party that emerged as the largest party, not pre-election favourite Pheu Thai. However, forming the government will be a tricky prospect as the incumbent coalition and the Senate could spoil the party for the opposition. The people of Thailand have signalled a desire for change – which is by no means a guaranteed outcome – but investors should already be preparing for the impacts and opportunities to come.

The Thai Election Commission has confirmed the results of the recent elections but with no party winning the required 376 seats, coalition discussions have started.

Greg and Ed go over the election results, with Ed leading the way and doing his best to evaluate his pre-election predictions. First, Ed discusses the obvious way the election was NOT a surprise: the conservative parties (UTN, Palang Pracharath, and the Democrats) were destroyed as expected. If anything, their decimation was even worse than expected.  Second, Ed mentions how the election did involve somewhat of a shocker: the Move Forward Party overperformed and actually beat the Pheu Thai Party overall for total number of seats won. Ed notes that pre-election polls did show Move Forward gaining, but few people expected them to win outright. Why is this a big deal? Well, the Shinawatra spawned parties have won every election in Thailand since 2000, so these results do show a major shift in among the Thai electorate towards a Bangkok-based party. But significantly, Move Forward is a very progressive party, unlike the conservative Democrats who formerly dominated in Bangkok. So what grade does Ed give himself on his pre-election prognostications? Well, he did correctly note that Move Forward was gaining and the Bhuamjaithai was in general conservative despite their ‘progressive' stance on cannabis. However, Ed thought that a coalition between Move Forward and Pheu Thai would be difficult to achieve, but in fact Pheu Thai pledged to join Move Forward immediately. Grade: C+. Greg kindly chimes in with a slightly more generous assessment of B-. But either way, this is an issue that we should all be watching very closely for the next little while.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

The Move Forward Party achieved victory in Thailand's general election. However, it is expected that the military elite will not welcome them with open arms. Along with that, Mr Pita Limjaroenrat, the potential new Prime Minister of Thailand, would have to face certain challenges if elected. We discuss these headlines on today's Regional Roundup with Dr. Felix Tan, Political Observer, Nanyang Technological University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thailand is still living the aftermath of a general election that saw the party in power crushed by two opposition parties. The big winner of the election is the Move Forward party, whose leader Pita Limjaroenrat is now trying to form an effective coalition.

The likely floundering of key electoral reform bills by Monday, August 15th is also a matter likely to be ultimately adjudicated by the Constitutional Court as the ballot system used in the next General Election will sway its outcome with the changes proposed last September likely ultimately to hand a decisive win to the Pheu Thai Party which is currently riding high in the polls. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/08/12/country-in-a-constitutional-crisis-says-mp-rangsiman-rome/ James Morris reports from Bangkok.
