The United Thai Nation party announced today (Thursday) that it will join the Pheu Thai-led coalition and vote for Pheu Thai’s prime ministerial nominee, according to the party’s spokesman Akaradej Wongpitakroj.

 

His party had previously informed Pheu Thai that it would not join the coalition if it included a party with a policy to amend the lèse majesté law. Now that Pheu Thai has confirmed that its coalition contains no such party, it agrees to vote for the Pheu Thai nominee, said Akaradej.

 

The spokesman denied that the party will be rewarded with four ministerial positions.

They have a similar mentality to that of a bar girl!

I think, at this point, it is more about having a significant majority in Parliament for passing legislation. (The PM thing will be sorted by the Senate, with Prawit or Anutin.)

 

And knee-capping MFP, and any progressive legislation they might introduce.

 

So the two leading parties, MFP and PTP have pretty much been decapitated in this slow-moving judicial/legislative coup. All PTP voters get out of this is the return of Thaksin, and a few ministerial troughs.

 

The blow-back on Monarchy reforms has been resounding, even though public sentiment for changes may be greater than can be discussed.
