I wonder what happens if Uncle Too decides to have a cabinet reshuffle? Do all the now former MP's have to find a new job if they get dumped from cabinet? What happens if, heaven forbid, Prayut loses a vote of confidence on the floor of parliament and is deposed? Do they go back to their old job as an MP? I am sure they will not miss a meal as a result but the loss of face could have all sorts of repercussions, some may well remember things they had previously overlooked. It does not auger well for flexibility within the cabinet.
