Time to show resolve

A myriad of problems challenging the country require a strong and competent leader who can rise to the occasion, overcoming adversaries and adversity alike. Sadly, it has become evident that Paetongtarn Shinawatra is unlikely to be that type of leader.

- 

Part of that stems from Thaksin, her father, who makes her look like a puppet. Former premier Thaksin has no intention to hide the fact that he is still in charge, while Ms Paetongtarn runs the country as a figurehead. In fact, such control is a breach of the Political Party Act. If proven guilty, the ruling Pheu Thai Party may face dissolution, and those involved could be imprisoned.

Does Thaksin care? Unlikely. He keeps pulling the strings, not only controlling his daughter but the entire government. The latest evidence is his mentioning to the media the need for Pheu Thai to take back the interior portfolio from Bhumjaithai (BJT), a major coalition party.
