Happy for the Thai people to recover from a lost decade under the Prayuth regime .PPT is the great choice for a compromise prosperity-focused style government. MMP is not well prepared to be a government since they failed teamworking though they are good at monitoring. It is never been before that we have both strong government and opposition. Cheers
