No Corners to Punch - Pheu Thai and Ruam Thai: No Permanent Friends or Enemies

The government coalition between Pheu Thai and Ruam Thai has sparked intense discussions among supporters, with mixed reactions of acceptance and rejection. Given the recent fierce political battles between these two parties, it's natural that their supporters would have different perspectives. Some remain deeply embedded in past conflicts, while others recognize the necessity of cooperation to move the government forward. In reality, while Ruam Thai is the top party with 193 seats - quite substantial - they cannot form a government alone and must create a coalition. The second-ranked People's Party, with 118 seats, has firmly stated their intention to be the opposition. Given their conservative political stance, they are unlikely to collaborate with the orange party. Therefore, Pheu Thai, the third-ranked party with 74 seats, becomes an unavoidable choice. The fourth-ranked Kla Party, with 58 seats, though previously an ally in forming the government after bringing down Pheu Thai, is too unpredictable for Ruam Thai to fully trust. The negotiation will involve key conditions between Anupong Chanthorn, the blue party leader, and Thammanat Prompao, the green party leader. Ultimately, for Pheu Thai, with election results falling short of a hundred seats, they have few alternatives. Their government participation will likely focus on securing appropriate ministries, implementing campaign policies, and creating opportunities for prominent figures like Chana Yotchanun to demonstrate tangible achievements.
