Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit's fate seems to be sealed. Bangkok Post photoThe Constitutional Court's ruling to suspend Future Forward Party leader (FFP) Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit as a member of parliament (MP) over a shareholding saga has created what is known as the "Thanathorn effect", which has rattled Thai politics. The court on Thursday unanimously voted 9-0 to accept the case against Mr Thanathorn as requested by the Election Commission (EC). But politics without Mr Thanathorn as FFP leader in parliament are also dangerous. With the Thanathorn effect, it appears that Thai politics will move beyond the Thaksin factor.
