Thaksin Shinawatra - AKA P' Tony to his many followers on Facebook live broadcasts under the CareTalk brand - was at his rhetorical best in his latest broadcast, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

Banners on the broadcast clearly stated that he would be back two days after the general election that takes place on May 14th.

 

The banner said "see you very soon after the election - May 16th", reported Siam Rath.

 

Thaksin - a fugitive from Thai justice but a former leader who hopes his party can sweep to power and inspire his triumphant return to Thailand - said that his country was in a "black hole of misery".

 

Everyone of his followers must go to the polls and vote to end this.

 

He called for a landslide victory so that control of the future could be guaranteed for the good of the people and democracy.

 

He called the election "historic" as he urged his voters to return a better quality of life.

 

With better law and order, human rights and above all the return of democracy.

 

Everyone had been telling him that had been sorely lacking in most of the last decade.
