the very man who notoriously betrayed Thaksin. This godfather-figure of the BJT once stood with Thaksin, only to deal him a political backstab

I disagree with this assessment.  Thaksin did some things that were illegal and he was called on it.  The only way he could be prosecuted was to take him out of power.

I think that can only work if Settha becomes PM and it's the obvious tactic for PT AND MFP that I'm sure the ruling classes would have seen coming. 

This is not going to end well for the majority of Thai people or us expats whichever way this goes. IMHO.

Could you explain what ending us expats can expect either way?

Bhumjaithai leader, Anutin Charnvirakul, stated that he is confident the Pheu Thai-led coalition has already secured over 250 MPs, ensuring a simple majority in the lower house.

 

However, he refrained from revealing the identities of other parties that have committed to joining the coalition. He emphasized that it is Pheu Thai's prerogative to make such announcements. Anutin asserted that his party does not endorse the formation of a minority government.

 

Furthermore, he called upon all MPs and senators to cast their votes in favor of Pheu Thai's PM candidate, Srettha Thavisin, underlining that the coalition opposes any amendments to the lese-majeste law.

 

Anutin also noted that if Srettha fails to secure sufficient support within the joint parliament, the Pheu Thai Party still has two additional PM candidates who could be considered for the position.

In response to questions regarding the Palang Pracharath Party's conditions if they were invited to join the Pheu Thai-led coalition, party leader Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan said, "We will look at it."

 

He also declined to answer whether his party is prepared to be in the opposition if no invitation is extended.

 

Meanwhile, party members have prepared a birthday cake for Prawit as he approaches his 78th birthday on August 11.

I think the 6 former coalition parties (Thai Sang Thai, Prachachart, Seri Ruam, Pheu Thai Ruam Palang, Fair and Plung Sungkom Mai Party) which has a total of 20 seats will join the coalition. Most of the MPs are ex-TRT and being part of the government is a bigger draw than in the opposition. CTP with 10 seats has already indicated that they will join if invited. Thamanat will engineered some cross overs to PTP. The new coalition should be able to exceed the majority 250 threshold.

That clown again:

 

Palang Pracharath Party member Ruangkrai Leekitwattana has filed a petition against Pheu Thai leader Chonlanan Srikaew regarding his comments, which suggest that his party's campaign against Bhumjaithai before the election was merely one of the techniques employed to secure votes.

 

The purpose of this investigation is to ascertain whether Chonlanan and the party have contravened electoral rules, particularly the prohibition against using deception to mislead voters with the aim of garnering electoral support.

In a democracy you vote people out of power, not at gunpoint.
