Democrats have dim chance to form govt
The Democrat Party has little chance to form a government, even after the three ruling parties are disbanded by the Constitution Court on Tuesday, according to political analysts.
After the Constitution Court also disqualifies 109 party executive board of the three parties and disqualified
Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, the ruling coaltion parties still have much more than half of total MPs in the House to vote for a new prime minister.
The number of total MPs now drops to 447 after 33 MPs are disbanded. The ruling coalition parties will have 283 MPs left, which is 59 seats more than half of total (224).
If the
Democrat Party convinces other 5 ruling parties to switch camps and form a government, the Democrat led government will have only four seats more than half of total.
It is unlikely the five ruling parties would switch sides since the Democrat-led government would be too unstable.
Besides, the fact that the
Chart Thai Party,
Matchima Thipataya Party, Puea Pandin Party, Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana Paty, Pracharat Party have shown their intention to stick with the PPP, it is unlikely their allegiance would waver at this time.
