An informed source within Klatham said on Monday that such a coalition would control about 290 votes in the 500 member House of Representatives. People with a conservative mindset emphasised national security, the Klatham source said. If the new government coalition were to include Pheu Thai, voters would feel betrayed. If excluded from the government coalition, Pheu Thai would be blocked from recovering and growing.
