THE MOVE FORWARD is exponentially gaining favour among constituents, given outspoken clarity in their campaign standpoints, than the relatively noncommittal Pheu Thai, according to a noted academic.

 

Wanwichit Boonprong of Rangsit University’s Faculty of Political Science said yesterday (Apr.21) the Move Forward’s increasing popularity has been largely attributed to the liberal party’s earnest, straightforward political ideologies and standpoints expressed on their campaign stumps for the May 14 general election.

 

For instance, Wanwichit pointed out, Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat has reassured that his party will ultimately not join a government which might possibly be led by the Pheu Thai and joined by a military-led camp such as the Palang Pracharath, let alone the Ruam Thai Sang Chart under whose tickets caretaker prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is running to retain power.

That's a winning  speech right there.

Unfortunately as the race comes closer to the finish there will be something pop up that will cause issues for any party that is a threat to the ruling party. Just give it a few more weeks and the sht will be hitting the fan. Nothing new.

Yet putting such into practice is another thing altogether.

Didn't realise having actual policies mattered in Thai elections. This sounds promising
