The political landscape will hinge on the ongoing negotiations of three key figures, Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, Snoh Thienthong and Thaksin Shinawatra, Pracharaj MP Sorawong Thienthong said in an interview with Thursday's Matichon online.

"Chavalit, Snoh and the figure in a faraway land are still talking (about political options)," he said in reference to Thaksin in Dubai.

Sorawong said the outcome of the three's talks would be crucial to how Chavalit and Snoh plotting their next move.

In earlier talks related to Snoh teaming up with Pheu Thai, Chavalit and Snoh told Thaksin to keep a low profile because the two were concerned about Pheu Thai being penalised by disbandment because Thaksin has Montenegro nationality and is barred from running a party, he said.

"My father (Snoh) is very concerned about Thaksin's role in Pheu Thai because what Thaksin is doing might lead to the dissolution of the party," he said.

He said if Thaksin decides to go ahead with his videolink to unveil the Pheu Thai campaign platforms on Saturday, then it is very likely that the party will be disbanded.

Should Thaksin fail to heed the warning of the two, Snoh will definitely change his mind on the alliance with Pheu Thai, he said.

Snoh might choose one of the options - to remain as Pracharaj leader or to work with Chavalit in forming a new party, he said.

Chavalit resigned his Pheu Thai membership on Monday.

Asia times on line has an interesting article http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/MD13Ae01.html?sms_ss=email&at_xt=4dafb26a67ab2eb7%2C0

Thailand has returned from the brink of last year's street protests, grenade attacks, anonymous bombings, military-style assassinations, arson attacks and fatal armed clashes. Clashes between pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters and government troops resulted in 91 deaths, among them most were "red shirt" wearing civilians. Both sides have blamed the other for instigating the death and destruction. To date, the government and armed forces have declined to take responsibility for any of the fatalities.

The calm before the proposed polls is the result of a behind-the-scenes accommodation reached late last year between Abhisit's government and the royal Privy Council on one side and Thaksin's camp on the other, according to a government aide with regular access to the premier. The first aspects of the multi-faceted deal were brokered in October, around the same time international mediators met with top Thaksin associates and government officials in Bangkok, according to the same insider.

The exact contours of the accommodation are unclear, and its not immediately certain that the international mediation effort, including interlocutions by a former top United States diplomat, were instrumental in the deal. But soon after high-level meetings between known Thaksin allies and international mediators, the string of anonymous bombings across Bangkok and surrounding areas came to an unexplained halt last October.

As the Asia times article makes clear this is an artificial truce here till the election gets done,

after that all bets are off.

That was last October when Thaksin was dreaming of new drapes in the PM's office. Now he is letting out the length of Jatuporn's leash. After making any deal with Thaksin be sure to count how many fingers you have left every day.
