Big News in Thailand is that the People Power Party has won the election with what appears 228 out of the 480 seats up for grabs. The People Power Party is made up from remnants of the old Thai Rak Thai party that ruled from 2001 until the September 19th Coup that removed Thaksin from office. It was kind of surprising just how many seats they won in the election and it shows just how much support the deposed PM still has.
What is happening next? Who knows, it could be a very tough next few weeks as parties jockey for position and influence in the next government.
