A Thai court has ordered the dissolution of the reformist party which won the most seats and votes in last year’s election - but was blocked from forming a government.
The ruling also banned Move Forward’s charismatic, young former leader Pita Limjaroenrat and 10 other senior figures from politics for 10 years.
The verdict from the Constitutional Court was expected, after its ruling in January that Move Forward’s campaign promise to change royal defamation laws was unconstitutional.

Yeah we had a vote and you won but the royals didnt like the result so yeah, turns out voting is just a joke we made up so we can make you feel worthless.
Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

Also Billionaires, did I forget to mention Billionaires?.. especially Musk.

I doubt Diderot could even comprehend the idea of a billionaire. If he came back from the dead, finding out about it would kill him a second time.
I have not heard that quote and was not familiar with Denis Diderot but wow have I been missing out!

Thanks for enlightening me
Sure. I do admit I’ve never actually read his writings beyond a few pithy quotes like that. But I have read a fair amount about him.
It is more like an oligarchy. The king is a figurehead for others running things behind the scenes and an excuse to keep things the way they are.
There are a lot of interests that don’t want the government that the Thai people have been voting in for the past generation.
It will end in bloodshed unless the next generation of royalty decides to go in the direction the British royal family
A sad day for Thailand. The royals just want to keep their power, as usual.
Man, you are brave to piss off a bunch of Thai. I feel I heard they know how to fight or something.
I’m from Thailand. This is not the end. The Move Forward is already a rebrand of previous Future Forward party that was also dissolved and all of the old fucks clinging to power are sure to lose it in the next election cycle. The next iteration will get even more votes!
