Why even bother as the Dem will split into 3 factions. Suthep, Alongkorn and Ahbisit will break off with their supporters while other disgruntled MPs will either join other parties or contest as independent. The Dem Party unlikely to survive as a party intact by next election.

Some evidence, please. Or are you merely gazing into a crystal ball?

Eric is one of those who frequently gazes into crystal balls. He tends to see things that most members of the TVF community are surprised to hear anyone has ever seen.

Actually it came from a news clipping not long ago. I will try to find that link and have it posted. If you analyse the current situation and the new found popularity of Suthep and the disagreement he has with some senior leaders of Dem plus the low probability of Dem ever winning an election, reasons enough for him to break away. Look he is one of the biggest financier and his return is meager so why continue throwing money.

Alongkorn is really a no brainer. He is forward looking and pushing for party reform but getting no where. If Suthep break away, he will follow suit.

See, not that hard to crystal ball and I will try to find that link.

So where is the link, Eric?

Ruangkrai Leekitwattana needs to spend some time in the army reconciliation centre to help him "get it". He seems to have missed the memo about not trying to cause friction in Thai society.

Reconciliation is the word of the moment not confrontation.

For those of us outside the country, who is taking odds on his call-up in a list very soon?

Yes surely he'll be reprogrammed soon.

Silly man the entire exercise is to ensure Dems can finally win an election
