Next government won't be a grey oneCaretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrives at Government House after winning election on Sunday. As in my previous column, I remain of the view that the new coalition will comprise BJT, PT and the Democrats. Leaving detailed political considerations aside, this popularity-vote-based formula reflects BJT's goal of creating a new clean image -- a so-called "No Grey government". In contrast, Dem won 10 constituency seats but 12 party-list seats. Stithorn Thananithichote, a political science lecturer at Chulalongkorn University, agrees that the new government could comprise BJT, PT and the Democrats.
