MOST VOTERS WOULD PREFER to see a “mixed government” set up between moderate conservatism and moderate liberalism after the May 14 general election, concluded an academic Apr.3.

 

According to Jade Donavanik, dean of the College of Asian Scholars’ Faculty of Law, that kind of “mixed government” could possibly refer to a future coalition between the Pheu Thai, largely known as a moderately liberal party with deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra being viewed as de facto party boss, the Palang Pracharath, viewed as a moderately conservative party led by Prawit Wongsuwan, and the Bhumjaithai, also a moderately conservative camp steered by de facto party boss Newin Chidchob.

 

The total number of MPs attached to the trio of parties might probably exceed half the total of MPs and senators combined or 376 which is minimally required by law to name a partisan contestant for prime minister, Jade said.

Even if it's difficult for them to work together, is better than one-sided. Nothing worse than a one-sided ideological government imposing their will upon the masses, except of course for those who want everyone to think and behave the same.

No chance of a coalition using those three.

Pheu Thai and future Forward maybe.

Most don't trust academic types.

One of the worst scenario for the country... Everybody knows that Thailand has to change and enter the 21st century. With a moderate conservative party it will never happen as they will stay on the 19th century habits, laws, ways of living. We have example that the Conservative for example delayed constantly the samesex marriage, keep on tight on section 112,  and have old ideas that are not of a modern society.  Moderate liberal and liberal are far better for the country's sake as the 21st century is more than cellphones, wifi and TV's

"Most voters" have but one, single vote. And that vote is not cast for a coalition.

 

Some of the coalitions that this academic propose are laughable.

I thought the opinion of the voters, whoever they might be, held little value!
