New Elections

New elections in Thailand are scheduled to occur sometime in late September or October. (On October 22, according to the BBC.)

The date being so distant means that not only will the opposition parties have enough time to mount a proper campaign, but elected officials in the ruling Thai Rak Thai party will be able to switch to a different party should they choose to.

No word from ex-Prime Minister Thaksin as of yet.
