A former key leader of Pheu Thai dating back to its incarnation as Thai Rak Thai in 1998, veteran politician Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan has left the opposition party abruptly. 

 

In her letter dated November 30 and addressed to Pheu Thai’s registrar, Sudarat offered no reason for her decision to resign as a lifetime party member.

From the original article: "several months of fierce party infighting"

 

That's wonderful. And not really surprising that the greedy Thaksin lackeys fight each other. Please more of the same.

So, that's it, her faction lost it's place at the trough!

She is also said to have had strong ties with General Prawit Wongsuwan, a key figure in the present government, dating back to his days in the Army. 

 

Friends with the abhorrent toad, more likely the reason she left.

Thaksin?

She simply did not have the power to make any more money out of her position. She and her proxy company Q house own a good percentage of land in Don Muang district. <Deleted>.

What?  How dare you!  Thaksin is the Robin Hood esque man of the people, the enemy of the evil gub'ment and the "democratic" choice, so can therefore do no wrong! /s

[Baerboxer]

Wasn't she Thaksin's anointed choice for PM if Pheu Thai had formed a government after the last election?
