If PTP, FFP and the Dems were to band together, that would be 276. That is enough to end military rule to some small extent. It would bruise some tender egos. So yes, another coup based on Hi-So / military culture, or bad manners, is quite possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBKK Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 so even though: not allowed to talk not allowed to meet disband their partners who had a royal take down the TV station malign lock-up Thais still want PTP and their allies - substantially over 50% of pop vote and seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisH Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 10 hours ago, robblok said: Can anyone explain me why the PTP has no party list MP's ? Do they still need to be counted ? Future forward is doing better and better last i saw was 70 seats now 81 I would bet most of them are young voters - they don't like coups nor past corrupt governments. I hope they keep sticking it at the big parties and will eventually come out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Democrats do support them. Looks like we have to look at Prayut mess things up for a few more years. But Prayut can't form a government as he wont have a majority of MP's Will be a huge bit of horse trading going on soon. Rob, PTP got 7,229,526 on this chart. They got more seats but were second in the popular vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other anti junta parties might not decide to allay with PTP either now. PTP got less than 50% of the votes they received at the last election. Shows how unpopular they now are.

Basically, the system is rigged. In future elections PTP will only be able to govern if it achieves an absolute landslide. Seeing as PTP polled less than half the votes this time than the election in 2011 (when they were the biggest minority of votes) I'd suggest people are more likely to support FF and other possible new parties that aren't owned by one family.

nong38 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I went to have a look at my local polling station yesterday, I knew some of the officials and I would say they were doing the job the right way, police checking the seals everything seemed as it should, what happens when the boxes left s anybody's guess and therein lies the problem here, no one seems to be able to trust what happens after the votes have been cast. I do think it extraordinary that a new party like the Palang Pracharat party at its first contested election should have such a remarkable success, apparently at the expence of the Democrats, I expect the PM will be overcome with joy at the success of the fledgling party and look forward to taking the country wherever it might be.

Still got to wait for confirmation. The results will keep getting scrambled until the predetermined winner decides its time to end the show. You already know who the eventual winner will be.
