How future of Thai politics will be like

23 Sept 06:10 Key points summarised by AI

Thai politics is predicted to become "very heated" post-COVID-19, despite Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's current high approval for pandemic management and parliamentary advantages.
The delicate balance of power means one side's dominance often provokes aggressive opposition, with economic fallout from COVID-19 potentially uniting fragmented opposition groups like Pheu Thai and Future Forward against the government.
While Prayut currently benefits from low infection rates, long-term economic issues such as job losses and bankruptcies could severely impact his ratings and even make drastic constitutional amendments seem feasible.
The future may not involve "post-COVID-19 politics" at all, as the virus is likely to remain a constant underlying factor influencing political dynamics and decisions.
