Throwing a Decisive Punch - Blue Cuts Sky Blue: Political Factions Divide
The February 8th election is measuring not just parliamentary seat numbers, but the power of conservative political factions that have split into two colors - navy blue and sky blue. This division means conservative factions no longer have a monopoly on political influence. The navy blue faction, led by key figures, must urgently adjust their final strategy, aiming not just for seat numbers but to establish themselves as the number one conservative group and pave the way for a second prime ministerial term. The return of 'The Mark' has revived the sky blue faction's momentum, especially in Southern Thailand, where polls indicate popularity rising to 40% and eroding the navy blue faction's support base. While the navy blue group previously gained popularity through a strong stance against Cambodia, unhealed wounds from the Hat Yai flood disaster continue to impact their southern support. In Bangkok, where the navy blue faction hoped to plant their flag, the sky blue wave has unexpectedly taken the lead, while the orange party maintains a strong urban voter base. As the game turns disadvantageous, the navy blue leadership is now strategically maneuvering to consolidate votes and prevent potential losses to liberal factions.
