What "radical promises"? IMHO they were all very reasonable, possibly even too conservative to be modern in a western sense.

 

One person's radical is another person's conservative I guess.

Totally strange post!!!! what has Thaksin got to do with changing the constitution 

 Thaksin was allowed back with all charges dropped.

By coincidence of course, Thaksin's party joined its arch junta rivals and formed the conservative government in power, excluding MF.

 PT will not want to rock the boat overseeing meaningful democratic reform of the constitution if it endangers its position in the government, and for Thaksin, his own personal  future with a 112 charge hanging over his head.

Did Thaksin serve the 8 years in prison he was sentenced to on one offence?

No, he didn't spend even one day in jail

Did Pheu Thai, Thaksin's party, join with the parties supporting the military?

Yes.

You have answered your own post     Charges were not dropped reduced to 1yrs whether  he spent time in prison is irrelevant the charges were not DROPPED  he is a convicted felon   if the charges were dropped he would not be on parole nor a convicted felon  so you were WRONG in stating the charges were dropped 

The pheu Thai   did indeed  join the military  BUt did not exclude MF.  MF removed itself from the government as pita could not be voted in this was prior to  the military joining the government

you need to fact check your posts

Thaksin did not spend one day in prison despite being sentenced to 8 years.

Some people surmise a deal was struck, shock/ horror! 

'Come back, all is forgiven. Be a good boy, join our side and keep out those nasty MF types'.

Pheu Thai joined the military despite promising the electorate they would not.

Thaksin has an 112 charge hanging over him 

Thaksin owns Pheu Thai

No significant changes to the constitution will happen whilst

 The military parties form the government with Pheu Thai.
