From the beginning, Natthapol was considered a poor choice. Pita's public presence was just overwhelming. This begs the question of who else the PP have to fill the gap Pita left, and how much time the PP will have to create public recognition for an alternative candidate. Changing Natthapol would look bad enough, though.
Sorry to jump in, Ken should reply to this but perhaps he's busy. I believe if Parliament is dissolved, all the bills currently being deliberated will be dropped.
Thaksin wants the budget bill to pass in August, plus the coalition parties don't want an election,so I can't see a dissolution on the cards soon whatever happens to Paetongtan.
Yes, that's correct — my understanding is that bills cannot be carried over from parliament to parliament, so if a bill hasn't fully passed then they would have to start over after the election

The party spokesman, Parit, could be an alternative though he is very young.
I agree, PP need another Pita, Thanathorn, Piyabutr, Chor, someone who can galvanize the crowd.
Parit is likely to be considered as too young — he isn't eligible to be prime minister yet (the minimum age is 35)
