    Thai political legitimacy in question

    Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 28/07/2023

    » The ongoing distortion of election results and systematic subversion of the popular will in Thai politics raise questions of political legitimacy at home and abroad. By all accounts, the combined victory of the opposition Move Forward Party (MFP) and Pheu Thai appears unlikely to lead to their formation of a government. While many voters feel shortchanged by the power plays behind the scenes, what is happening to the MFP should behove the international community to draw a red line across which the eventual government outcome cannot be deemed democratically legitimate and credible in reflection of voter preferences.

    Oped, Editorial, Published on 24/06/2023

    » Today marks one of the most significant days in Thai political history. In 1932, a group of young Khana Ratsadorn elites who were educated abroad took a bold step towards democracy on June 24, launching a revolution that transformed the country from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy.

    Will post-2023 culture shock see progressives thrive?

    Oped, Published on 10/06/2023

    » Move Forward, an off-shoot of the now-defunct Future Forward Party, signifies a wind of change, a new direction for the country. Unlike other parties, the MFP's ambition is broader and aims to change the country not only politically but culturally too. The party has allied itself with young people with a desire for a more responsive democratic process.

    The tide of history shifts in Thai politics

    Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 02/06/2023

    » Notwithstanding the ongoing political shenanigans by appointed agencies to shape final outcomes after the May 14 poll, Thailand already will never be the same again. The Move Forward Party's (MFP) victory as the largest winning side, with 151 out of 500 parliamentary seats, is profound but not unprecedented. Together with the Pheu Thai Party's 141 MPs, these two opposition parties are unwittingly sending a message to each other and to the broader political establishment that the curve of Thai history is shifting tectonically. Failing to grasp and adjust to this evolving tide of history could marginalise Pheu Thai and challenge the establishment to its core foundations.
