Suranand 'might quit after poll'

Caretaker PM's Office Minister Suranand Vejjajiva hinted yesterday that he might leave the ruling Thai Rak Thai Party after all, but only after the October 15 general election
"I have explained to the prime minister that I'm still working [with him] and will be working until the last day by helping the party until the election," he said."After that, my role will depend on the party and the situation, including my convictions, because it's through idealism that I work. If I'm still in agreement with the ideology [of the party], then I am ready to help. If the ideology and mode of thinking do not match, then some consultation is needed." Suranand reiterated that his future would still be in politics, irrespective of which party he belonged to or whether he remained an MP. He said he could also see himself playing a role in a non-government organisation or the media. In the meantime, he will do his best to work for Thai Rak Thai, he added.
