Interestingly-

At least five out of the 200 are/were aligned with Thaksin, but BP’s educated guess is that over 80% are clearly aligned with the Establishment (some others it is hard to say for certain as don’t know enough about them or their associations)

well, at least they will be effective, unlike the previous legislative assembly full of corrupted politicians

sounds like the Thai will be more happy at the end, like they were in the mid 90s
