It’s the Pheu Thai Party who has done much of the talking in Parliament this week, but it’s Move Forward who stands to benefit the most. The biggest opposition camp, it seems, is lecturing its way out of a possible marriage with the Palang Pracharath Party after the general election.

 

This is not to say that the supposed Pheu Thai-Palang Pracharath union has been likely. It never was, and this is to say that if there has been the tiniest possibility of it happening, the slightly-gaping door has all but been slammed shut.

 

The Prayut government, which Pheu Thai accuses of blatant cronyism, devastating economic mismanagement, widespread corruption, and proliferation of “grey-area businesses” by foreigners, has Palang Pracharath as its heart and soul. Prayut Chan-o-cha picked the ministers, of course, but choices had been provided by coalition parties including Palang Pracharath.

I really hope that Move Forward will be the winner of the coming elections...Maybe ruling with Pheu Thai, but no Shinawatra as PM.... and I hope things will change drastically

There's still time for parties to be dissolved. It's hard to guess.

So do I, but the senate have the last word as to who the PM will be.

Appreciate your lofty and dreamy ideals, but this won't be the reality or such outcome. 

Historically, they have their tried and true manner and provisions to manipulate things in their favour. 

 

The only real hope would be a people's revolutions.
