The baton has passed from Move Forward to Pheu Thai, who are now busy talking to parties of all political persuasions, even its political enemies, in a bid to form a government.

 

Pheu Thai is believed to be trying to push Move Forward away from the current coalition, as its stance on the controversial lèse majesté law has proved to be a major obstacle when wooing other parties to support Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial candidate.

 

Many people are wondering what, then, would happen to the MoU, which Move Forward signed with the seven other coalition parties on May 22nd.

Together, PTP and MFP can call the tune. Chicken out and they'll both end up broken and ineffective. Intransigence should be their strategy.

A baton can be a metaphor wherein leadership is passed from one member of a group to another member in the group.

In the subject case it is not a baton that is passed but a theft of political power.
