Pita LimjaroenratEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

這一集，我們訪問「差一點成為泰國總理」的皮塔 Pita。 【YT可收看中文字幕】 Pita 在 2023 年帶領泰國前進黨贏得大選，並挑戰總理職位。隔年，他被判決十年不得參政。目前正在哈佛大學擔任訪問學者。 這次見面我們討論到幾點： （1）政治是馬拉松，政治人物不能只思考當下的選舉，Pita 以「四個選舉週期」為目標，不只看一次勝敗，更強調要贏得夠深、夠廣 。 （2）拒絕企業金主，堅持小額捐款，才能保有政治自主權，重建人民對政治的信任。Pita 堅持用平均 15 美元的小額募款。 （3）現代的獨裁者會刻意製造選民疲乏，讓政治更極端、戲劇化，進而讓民眾厭煩政治、放棄投票。 （4）新世代政治人物面對高額選舉經費的焦慮，Pita 建議採取「精簡選戰」。善用數據與創意精準接觸選民，取代傳統昂貴的動員方式 。 台灣與泰國的政局狀況不同，但對民主進步的追求是一致的。在需要勇敢追求政治改革的年代，這場交流讓我們看見彼此的韌性。 🎤 主持：吳怡農 Enoch Wu 🎤 來賓：皮塔 Pita Limjaroenrat（前泰國前進黨黨主席） — — — — — — 時間軸 01:53 十年禁止參政 06:26 四個選舉週期的思考 10:58 給新世代候選人的精準政治 15:25 出門投票是對抗政治人物的極權與買票成本 17:09 獨裁者刻意製造選民的疲勞與對政治冷感 20:55 用小額募款重建民眾對政治的信任 24:32 鼓勵年輕人將創意與能量帶入政壇 — — — — — — 【追蹤 #吳怡農 Enoch Wu】 ✹ YT｜https://www.youtube.com/@nong.enochwu/ ✹ IG｜https://www.instagram.com/nong.taiwan ✹ FB｜https://www.facebook.com/nong.enochwu ✹「農好好說」Podcast｜Apple Podcast、Spotify、KKBOX 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cmetkg6yg00jg01v7574t0oxy/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

In the fifth episode of Season 3 of the Thank You Democracy Podcast alongside our Coalition Partner Asia Centre , we sat down with Pita Limjaroenrat , to discuss what it means to define democracy after being blocked from power, the emotional cost of public life amid structural resistance, and why hope, purposeful action, and civic courage remain central to democratic renewal, even when institutions close their doors. Pita Limjaroenrat is a Harvard and MIT educated former businessman turned parliamentarian whose path has come to symbolize the promise and pitfalls of democratic change in Thailand. Pita’s political journey began with election to Thailand’s House of Representatives in 2019, as a candidate for the reform‑oriented Future Forward Party. After its dissolution, he became leader of Move Forward in 2020, guiding it to become the largest party in the 2023 general election, with 151 seats. Yet despite his electoral success, institutional barriers prevented him from assuming the premiership, and later legal rulings dissolved the party and banned its leader, including Pita, from politics for a decade, raising important questions about democratic representation and institutional power. Now, a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, Pita continues to speak about democracy and reform from both a personal and political perspective.
