Thailand elections

Ok, it's quite obvious as to who will emerge victorious in the 2011 Thailand general elections. Puea Thai Party, whose leader Yingluck Shinawatra is the sister of the country's ousted former premier Thaksin, have secured 249 out of the 500 seats up for grabs.

Thaksin had earlier mentioned that his party will not seek to have a one-party-rules-it-all system. Instead, the Pheu Thai Party will invite other political parties to join and form a coalition if it wins enough seats to form the government.

This would indeed be a very magnanimous move by the Pro-Thaksin party and further signifies that it is keen to uphold democracy and restore peace within the country.

I hope all parties in Thailand can work together to serve the people and make the country the land of a thousand smiles once again.
