Will all these offshoot paties join as one party at a later date after the election to once again form the Pheu Thai Party ?

They'll be in the right place then, it's a villains game!

Fake villains to replace the current real ones.  Thailand is full of such fun ironies.

At least its fake villains, i got more problems with the real villains in the PTP and other parties. 

Aging film villains seeking to become parliamentarians. Why is that news? As far as I can judge. Thailand's national assembly has always been mostly constituted of villains, thugs, scoundrels, lecherous geezers, drama queens... and terrible, terrible actors the bunch of them.
