Election prediction

Now just for fun I thought it would be interesting to see what forum members predict the outcome to be .No prizes, just fun . Obviously we all have an allegiance or our wives do , which will reflect in our forecast , as will our hopes and ambitions.So no political arguments please. Just lets see who is on the nail at predicting the result .I suppose I should start .Let me start by saying I have no insider information , just the information available to all that read or listen to the Thai news. So , I predict the Pheu Thai party will end up with a small overall majority, or just under, then they will form a coalition, not with Bhum Jai Thai, I think Newin blotted his copy book by changing loyalties in the last government, but with Chart Pattana. led by its new leader Chumpol, brother of Banharn Silpa-Archa, who received a five year ban from politics , taking over. The figures for both parties in the last government were :Bhum Jai Thai 32 seats. Chart Pattana 25 seats, so its a close call.Lets see

I think Thaksin will win and it depends on with how much which parties he will pay for helping him.
His sister will be not PM she only likes the show for now.
After the election she will tell the people she likes family live like her brother.

PT (ms Shinnawattra ) to win but without enuff seats to have a majority , will scramble to form a coalition without success sparking demonstrations then leading to a military coup .

Mash ....... the "give every sausage a chance" party

Prayuth.

I am sure that the politicans who get voted in will be the winners, unfortunately the general public will be the losers as here they are considered as so much cannon fodder used to perpetuate the status quo which in essence gives not one damn for them.

Lessons learned??:

"The session was joined by more than 100 commanding officers of military companies and battalions that took part in the crackdowns on red shirt protesters in April and May last year."

LOL

went down near Central world last night.. Didn't see much in the way of congestion or crowds in the square.. Guess the Democrats kept their promise not to block any roads.. Traveled from Onnut BTS to Chidlom by Rajaprasong at 1645. Didn't see any great groupings of folks wearing yellow shirts or pro-Dem attire, just regular commuters..

The Dems big "reveal"... evidently Suthep's disclosure that it must have been Jatuporn that killed "Seh Dang" Maj. Gen. Khattiya... Considering the public information and eye witness statements from international journalists of that assassination demonstrated indicted the bullet came from within the military controlled area, that's not worth a laugh....

I dont think Thailand will vote in a woman as PM, so I am with the Generals, whoever side they are on..
