I got sober from my politics addiction for years.....only now I relapsed

Same here, Thai politics was in a slumber during the junta years but now it's woken up!

An article well worth reading. Yesterday's heckling of PT leaders was utterly stupid

Thanks for the article. MFP supporters are mostly urban, educated & middle class who really loathe the Shins and their parties. Make no bones about them; they are yellow shirts who have switched sides. The heckling is expected.

I don't think there are 14 million ex yellow shirts

The talks between the coalition parties have been friendly and the formula reached is amicable. As much as detractors want to see the breakup of MFP and PTP, it didn’t happen and democracy survived. No walk out, no dissenting opinions and even Thaksin didn’t make any demand. MFP will get a shoot at nominating Pita, house speakership and 14 “ A” listed ministries.
 

For the majority of voters who voted for the coalition, they will be pleased that negotiation has been transparent and in the right spirit and the junta coalition has been denied the next government. Still hoping that Pita gets the votes to become PM but the task is daunting. Sreetha will be the right alternate with little political baggages and business experience and non controversial. 

The majority voted for the coalition? Are you crazy? No-one voted for a coalition...where on the ballot paper does it say?
