... yeah, you got that right CalEden... the Army is THE (not really so concealed) power behind Thai 'democracy' and having them is necessary for any government to hold onto power, going back probably since constitutional monarchy began.
... negotiating the Army generals support will be a real fandango for Thaksin... wonder if he has the temperment for it.
... acknowleged royalist and current Royal Thai Army Commander in Chief Chanochoa was behind the coup that ended Thaksin's reign... I couldn't believe it, but Gen. Chanohoa was on national TV here last week warning Thai voters that returning Thaksin to power would be "bad for Thailand" (perhaps code for "the Army will stage no coup as long as you vote the Army's candidate into office").
... dividing the spoils, Thaksin is surely allocating a big share of the future pilage to the Army... if he succeeds, the Army might well be intractibly committed to ending aristocratic-monarchal dominance forever... no going back.
... or, arrogant and drunken on the testosterone surge (or estrogen surge, I am uncertain how that works with his sister), maybe Thaksin will summarily dischage Gen. Chanochoa and put his cousin back in charge of the Army, as when Thaksin was PM... that would run a risk of divisions within the Army... the renegade Gen. Thanittaya who abandoned his Army commission to lead the Reds in last year's May combat operations is not so isolated a possibility if it gets heated in barracks... these guys could go in the opposite direction, just as easily.
... will be interesting if Thaksin elects the traditional Thai way and bribes the Army... I know I'd be nervous about keeping onboard the general who ended my premiership with a coup, if I were Thaksin... or, maybe Thaksin feels powerful enough to discharge Chanochoa and his entire class, running the risk of creating divisions within the Army.
... should be interesting weeks ahead.
... and yeah, CalEden, Jim Morrison was the poet of an ugly youth... his voice, his words are the color in the still vivid recollections from an earlier time here in SE Asia, 1968-1972... he was the king shit to many of us... haunting stuff.

... it'd be great to see a statesman rise from the shithole that is Thai political society... but, there are no Mandelas or Gandhis in Thailand.
... on her own, Yingluck would be quickly devoured... did you see that picture of her with those 4 jackals, her potential coalition partners, all holding hands?... that evil little f***er Gen. Sanan would cut her long, deep and repeatedly, without hesitation... he's an animal.
... she is there and survives only because Yingluck ＝ Thaksin.

... it's an ages old Chinese tactic... putting someone in your place on the tiger's back... that's Yingluck.
... Thaksin might be happy to rule over Thailand with her as his puppet... don't know if his (reputedly sizeable) ego will drive him to actually BE prime minister... if he returns, Thaksin will be greeted and treated by the millions AS prime minister, probably even more highly esteemed (as in, 'Father of Thai Democracy'... the 'Great Emancipator'... statues and all that)... something between royalty and PM (which has got to make the royals even more nervous).
... Yingluck will probably be forever in his shadow... everyone knows what she is and from whom she takes her daily orders.

... it will be interesting, how Thaksin will maneuver to keep the Army in check... with such a landslide win, Yingluck cannot be moved on by them... yet.
... first Pheu Thai blunder though, an the barracks will be agitating to once again "save the King."
... a Thaksin amnesty might be an example of a blunder worthy of "saving the King."

I agree the army will move when there is any bump in the road-
meantime Yingluck is attempting to raise the wage that a person must be paid a day to 300 baht (min)
My wife is furious saying that some farm workers will be layed off- (tight arse hag that she is )
though I doubt she will lay off the girl who is 21 - (rest all male)
What it will spell is an influx of younger pussy from the north as many will do as she is and downsize-
As many retail shops and hotels will skip a maid or shop assisant- farm hand - whatever
Repeated on a massive level you will see more P4p woman-
Pattaya and bangkok will have alot of ex maids on their knees
(hey you look firmilar?)
: :
On the downside-
Those with steady jobs and getting 30% more may remain -
But once these bitches get a taste of easy money for cock sucking or f***ing- life on the farm suddenly is for the buffalo's and birds : :

Yingluck the whoremongers friend

If the below report is correct - our girl might not be around long
Bangkok post
The Pheu Thai Party looks set to consolidate its power as a majority government with more than 300 House seats to smooth the path for exiled former prime minister and its de facto leader Thaksin Shinawatra to return home, a party source said.
Sanoh Thienthong, left, of Pheu Thai puts his arm around the shoulders of Sanan Kachornprasart, right, chief adviser to the Chartthaipattana Party, as they join potential prime ministerial candidate Yingluck Shinawatra at a press conference announcing the formation of a five-party coalition. SOMCHAI POOMLARD
The source said the party will use its numbers in the House of Representatives to ensure smooth passage of legislation to grant amnesty for Thaksin's 2008 corruption conviction, which would enable him to come home.

Economy before amnesty
Battle for cabinet posts begins
The party is now trying to poach MPs from two main factions inside the Bhumjaithai Party led by Somsak Thepsuthin and Sora-at Klinprathum to have the desired number of at least 300 seats.
Four political parties - Chartthaipattana, Chart Pattana Puea Pandin, Phalang Chon Party and Mahachon - have now agreed to join Pheu Thai to form a coalition government with 299 House seats combined.
The source said Pheu Thai is also seeking to control three major ministries - the Foreign, Defence and Interior ministries - which are crucial to bringing Thaksin back to Thailand.
However, the source said the party would tread carefully and not rush the plan to bring Thaksin back home considering that his opponents would come out in opposition to his return, which could rock the stability of the new government.
"The party will have to wait for the right timing when the new government becomes strongest with the support of more than 300 House seats to ensure the passage of legislation related to the granting of amnesty is plain sailing," the source said.
Pheu Thai will also need to be sure that its coalition partners will be given the cabinet seats they desire to guarantee government stability.
The Bhumjaithai Party, which looks likely to be on the opposition bench, is now facing possible dissolution as there have been complaints of election fraud against the party.
If Bhumjaithai is dissolved, the situation in parliament would be even more favourable to Pheu Thai as the opposition camp would be too weak while the government would be more stable. Then, it should be the right time to grant amnesty to Thaksin and bring him home, the source said.
This scenario may take one to two years or even a full four-year term in office to materialise, but it is not too long and is seen to be "worth the wait", the source said.
Before the right timing comes, the top priority for the new government will be to tackle the economic woes to sustain the government's popularity, the source said.
The source also said Pheu Thai list MP Mingkwan Saengsuwan has emerged as a strong favourite for the foreign minister portfolio given his tact and finesse, his command of English and his reputation abroad.
ACM Sumet Phomanee, Thaksin's Class 10 friend from the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School, appeared to be a favourite for the defence portfolio while Pol Gen Pracha Promnok, Pheu Thai's chief adviser and its No.5 candidate on the party list, has emerged as the strongest contender for the interior portfolio, the source said.
Meanwhile, Pheu Thai No.1 list candidate Yingluck Shinawatra, along with leaders and a representative of three political parties, yesterday held a press conference at SC Park Hotel to confirm that they would form a new coalition government to run the country.
Also present were Maj Gen Sanan Kachornprasart, Chartthaipattana's chief adviser; Wannarat Channukul, leader of Chart Pattana Puea Pandin; and Chao Maneewong, leader of the Phalang Chon Party. The Mahachon Party did not send its representative to attend the press conference.
Ms Yingluck, potentially Thailand's first female prime minister, said a coalition government with 299 House seats from the five parties would be enough to form a stable government to run the country effectively.
However, Pheu Thai would have to wait for the confirmed election results of the Election Commission before proceeding with the formation of the new coalition government
She reiterated that Bhumjaithai would not be invited to join the coalition government.
She said the new government's first task would be to press ahead with a plan to foster national reconciliation.
It will be left to the Truth for Reconciliation Commission chaired by Kanit na Nakorn to continue with national reconciliation efforts and more independent committees will also be set up to help with the work, Ms Yingluck said.
The new government would also take urgent steps to fix the economic problems and tackle the rising prices of consumer products, to restore relations with foreign countries, to boost the morale of government officials and to eliminate corruption, she said.
She said the new government will also hold celebrations to mark His Majesty the King's 84th birthday
