Most Thai voters are sceptical about the survival of Anutin Charnvirakul's minority government, expecting it to last no more than four months. A survey conducted by Nida Poll on September 8–9 with 1,310 respondents revealed a lack of confidence amidst pressure from the People’s Party.

 

The survey targeted voters aged 18 and above, showing:

 

56.26% anticipate the administration will endure up to four months.
27.79% predict it could last longer.
14.58% foresee a shorter term.
1.37% offered no opinion.

This context follows Anutin's election with support from the People’s Party, which hasn't joined his coalition, leading to a minority government.

 

Thailand's People’s Party demands dissolution of the House within four months, requiring charter amendments.

 

Opinions varied on the administration’s future:

 

35.88% believe it will struggle due to ongoing negotiations.
30.31% see a minority government as suitable for current tensions.
23.66% disagree with the minority government format.
23.21% support it.
23.05% have faith in stability with People’s Party backing.
21.45% foresee eventual conflicts.

Other views:

 

Bhumjaithai might break promises.
The government could become a majority coalition.
Anutin should wait for the next election to become PM.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• Over half of Thai respondents believe Anutin’s government will not last more than four months.
• The minority government arrangement is pressured by demands for constitutional amendments.
• Opinions vary on government stability and potential political shifts.

Four months can drop all charges and whatever... Also enough to line pockets to be billionaires....

It will be interesting to hear Anutin's plan to stop the People's Party from winning the next election.

Easy, he and his establishment cronies will find some discrepancy to get the PP and its MPs banned/dissolved, just like they did to the Move Forward and Future Forward parties!

this government is supposed to dissolve parliament and hold elections after four months, that was the deal so anything else would be a betrayal of the said agreement
