Thai court dissolves reformist party that won election
Move Forward won the most seats in last year’s election - but was blocked from forming a government.
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.

Thanks for enlightening me
Ugh truer words have never been spoken
Thailand is basically a dictatorship then
It's a monarchy... So yeah...
It's more likely that the military is behind this call. Thailand may be a monarchy but the monarch is not strictly speaking in charge as far as I know.
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!
More votes? They already proved the votes don't count though.
Yeah, where does this ultimately go? They can put it off for now, but eventually they have to decide how constitutional their monarchy actually is.
A sad day for Thailand. The royals just want to keep their power, as usual.
Ask the French how desperately clinging to power worked for royals.
Imagine being lead by this guy.
Ok, I have Trump for four years, but he's out now.
The Thai royals are probably about to find out why England's keep out of it.
Man, you are brave to piss off a bunch of Thai. I feel I heard they know how to fight or something.
Muy
Taiwan’s minority ruling party DPP (40% votes in both president and parliament after 8 years’ corruptions) is doing the same thing. DPP is using all the grand justices replaced and appointed by DPP in the past 8 years to veto the parliamentary reform bill. If the minority party does not accept bills revised and passed by majority parties (KMT and TPP), then what is the use of elections? In addition, Taiwan has no royal family to consider.

Taiwan's housing prices have increased by 80% in the 8 years since previous DPP party’s Tsai administration. The current housing price/salary ratio is 20, only lower than that of Hong Kong (but the minimum wage is less than 1/2 of Hong Kong's), and the vast majority of citizens cannot afford to buy a house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDE2Pto-EX8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4UMerjkBB4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-GfrIM_zyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coLr9mJXNPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coLr9mJXNPI
