Who could have imagined that the Thai party, which has been hit by politics almost without breath, has played a "heroic counter-killing" in the sub-election of the 7th electoral district of Qingdao? 43229 votes against 18252 votes, leading twenty-five thousand votes, not a small win, but a crush.
This was not a fortune, it was a real political twist – and it was Peyton Tan, who had just been “shut down” by the Constitutional Court, who took the lead.This victory not only saved the life of the Thai party, but also completely shaken the political chessboard of Thailand.
Getting up from the bottom of the valley: How can a scattered political party make a king bomb?
Don't rush to applause, let's first look back and see how this was actually overturned.20 days ago, for the Thai party was still overturned in the political valley, almost by a pot.
Less than a year after he became prime minister, Petontan was dismissed by the Constitutional Court for "violating constitutional provisions"; Her father, Thaksin, failed to escape his fate. He was sentenced to one year in prison and went to prison.
Even worse, their own people were "anti-water", and eight lawmakers ran to vote for the Prime Minister's vote, directly kicked out the ruling circle for the Thai party and turned into the opposition party.
The "speed of life and death" in politics can be turned over. For a time, there was a rumor in the market: "It's over for the Thai Party." Political analysts predicted ruthlessly, saying that they might not even be able to keep 50 seats in next year's election and be directly marginalized.
At this juncture, a seat was suddenly vacated in the 7th constituency of Chiang Rai Province. It was originally a technical operation to hold a by-election, but when the Thai Party saw it, it was a way to survive, and it was immediately regarded as last stand.
The result was surprising, and they not only won, but also won thoroughly. The name Songya Prameon is now almost synonymous with "miracle" in Thai politics.
Therefore, this by-election is not only a victory, but more like a "political party cardiopulmonary resuscitation"-the Pheu Thai Party, which was about to enter the ICU, suddenly sat up.
The victory was no accident: Petontan's ferocity, Thaksin's layout and the system gave a glimmer of life
This victory was by no means supported by one or two campaign slogans, but behind it was a political puzzle that appeared to be ineffable and practical.
First, it was the “coolness” of the election committee. Many people thought that the Constitutional Court had driven Peterson away from the position of prime minister, and she had to roll out from within the party as well. but the election committee quickly said that the court was just interfering with her government functions, and it was not up to them how they arranged inside the party.
These words are equivalent to giving Petongtan a breathing space. Instead of being kicked out, she has the legitimacy to continue to lead the team.
On the other hand, though he went to jail, he had to continue to engage with his daughter before leaving.This is a typical operation of family politics, but it also shows a problem – the Sinava family has not surrendered yet.
The spirit of “people are still immortal” still appeals in Thai politics, especially in the old box office of the Thai Party.
In the party is not to sit and wait, in the evening of the election, for the highest level of the Thai party to meet overnight, announce the start of organizational structure adjustment, strengthen the coordination of various departments.
This time, the Thai Party is no longer "relying on its old capital to eat", but has begun to make real reforms. You can say that they are forced, but it has to be said that the political party that can "turn around" at this time is really tenacious.
Of course, the most not to be overlooked, is the individual reaction speed and determination of Petun Tan. The girl was driven down the prime minister's throne, did not hide in the "treatment mode", but instead held a meeting within the party, personal strategy, team, set goals.
She did not show a slight trend, but instead seemed to have been intercepted by the "two sides" and turned the political crisis into a mobilization order.
After the election, a new battle has just begun.
The victory of Chiang Rai Province is certainly worthy of happiness, but don't forget, this is only a constituency. If you want to expand this momentum to the whole country, you still have to face many tough battles.
The People's Party is not a vegetarian party. Although this election was lost, they still have a few cards in their hands. Recently, they signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Pride Party and formed a "political alliance", which is being arranged in advance of the general election in 2026.
In other words, for the Thai party to want to overturn in the general election, it must find a new way of coalition, the old set of "eating on the base dish" method is likely to fail.
The more difficult thing to do is the constitutional reform of the stake, for the Thai Party before proposing to do reform with the 1997 People's Constitution as the blueprint, it sounds quite progressive, but this step has stumbled on the conservative mine zone.
The military and traditional elites, in particular, are naturally wary of such reforms, and a slight action may trigger new political confrontation. The political turmoil in Thailand in the past often exploded on the pot of "constitutional reform".
Another variable is "the inheritance issue of the Sinawa family."Now that Peyton Tann is still on the front line, her sister, Peyton Tann, has also begun to appear frequently in public.
There are rumors that families are redistributing political roles, and it is still unclear whether this “sister partner” model will become the leadership structure for the next phase of the Thai Party.
But it is certain that how this family policy changes will directly affect the stability and external image within the party in the future.
Finally, there is a practical question: How long can the public opinion base last? The victory of Chiang Rai Province is more of a regional outbreak. Whether it can be replicated to the whole country, especially to the middle class and young people, is a big question.
In the past, the Thai party’s billboards tended to rural and low-level people, facing a new generation of voters, who had to “re-regulate” their policies, images and language systems.
Moreover, although the new House of Lords has changed people, more than 60% of them are still closely related to conservatives. In other words, even if the Thai Party wins in the House of Commons, it does not mean that it can govern smoothly.
Thailand's "deep political structure" is still not loose, which is the real challenge.
From being kicked out of the prime minister's cabinet, to playing a beautiful twist in Qingdao, Petenthan and the wave of operation for the Thai party can not only be said to be "happiness", but more like a "fate reconstruction" using its best.
But this is not the end, it is only the beginning of the way again.The political river of Thailand, far more complex than it seems, for the Thai party can come out of this victory more steady pace, and to see how each next step falls.
Winning one game is easy, winning the whole set is hard.
