I wonder what the drop in support for the PP would have been had they supported another Shinawatra PT government. I’d hazard a guess it would have been far greater. Like it or not Anutin hasn’t put a foot wrong. If betting were legal in Thailand my money would be on Anutin remaining as PM post election leading a coalition of the conservative parties and PT. I
appreciate the PP were not overburdened with potential coalition parties but their decision not to sully their hands with government was a mistake. Instead they’ve handed the power of incumbency to a far better politician. Who’s scared of an early election now.
So, charismatic leadership matters? At least for PP anyway
I would't use "charismatic." "Attractive" would be sufficient.
