Chuwit: Govt faces stability testCapt Thamanat Prompow, the former Setthakij Thai secretary-general, is playing a game of "high risk, high return", says former politician and media firebrand Chuwit Kamolvisit. The former leader of the Rak Prathet Thai Party believes Capt Thamanat is looking to win something of high value, rather than regain his cabinet post. Capt Thamanat, former deputy agriculture minister, was accused of plotting to topple Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in last year's no-confidence debate. He reckoned that Capt Thamanat's game plan is to continue challenging the coalition government's stability with backing from several micro parties. He added that Capt Thamanat is likely to prefer the use of 100 in the calculation of party-list seats.
