Predictions About The Upcoming Elections

This all seems reasonable to me:

"The only real issue at the election will be whether or not to support ex-Prime Minister Thaksin," pro-democracy activist Giles Ji Ungpakorn, an associate professor at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, wrote in an analysis circulated by e-mail.

Judging by opinion polls, the answer is many Thais will back the People's Power Party, where Thaksin loyalists have regrouped with his endorsement. The surveys project the party will win the most seats, though fall short of the majority that Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai Party held before the coup.

If no party wins a majority, the Thaksin grouping will vie with the Democrat Party, expected to finish second, to line up enough support from smaller parties to form a majority and name the next prime minister.
