On Monday, Pheu Thai held a joint press conference with Bhumjaithai, declaring that they would be core in forming the government. Bhumjaithai, led by Anutin Charnvirakul, is a coalition party in the outgoing government led by Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, who carried out the last coup in the country.

Move foreward got most votes because Thais wanted some " fresh air " in Politics .

Tired of the forever ruling dinosaurs they voted for change .

No , they will NOT get what they voted for .

Another ugly dinosaur will run the country , concessions were made everywhere to please the old " elite " , only that they ( PT ) , arrive in the elevated positions they desired . ( Thaksin's design ...? )

Betrayal of the voters . Time for a revolution . Get the Guillotines ready .

There are a lot of taxi drivers, if they are dissatisfied and start some uproar, it will be a chain reaction

I really do hope this spreads to other professions, such as bus drivers, lorry drivers, train drivers, 7/11 checkout staff,....Seriously though, let us hope it is the start of a trend, I for one do not want that xenophobic, racist in charge.

In Thailand it doesn't really matter who the people vote for, does it. If the 'wrong' party wins then they are not allowed to form the government.

Since when do Thai taxi drivers have morals? Whenever I'm in Bangkok, it's virtually impossible to get them to turn the meter on without admonishing them in terse Thai.
