TDRI questions party stimulus plansElection campaign posters are seen along the Asoke-Din Daeng Road. (Photo: Nutthawat Wicheanbut)The Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) has warned major political parties that their main election campaign projects might not be necessary as a stimulus since the economy is not in recession. A TDRI report published on Monday aims to study and analyse political parties' budget management and provide some suggestions for them to adapt future strategies. The analysis was based on the policies of six leading political parties -- Pheu Thai, the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), the United Thai Nation (UTN) Party, the Democrat Party, the Bhumjaithai Party, and the Move Forward Party (MFP). The TDRI study also voices caution over budget management plans the six parties declared to the Election Commission (EC).
