Does Pheu Thai want to have its cake and eat it too?
- Pheu Thai (PT) leaders publicly "begged" Move Forward (MF) for support to form a coalition, despite having previously abandoned their alliance and not wanting MF in the new government.
- PT needs MF's votes to secure its prime ministerial nominee against Senate opposition, yet is forming a broad coalition with former adversaries, signaling a shift from its pro-democracy stance for political expediency.
- Move Forward members and allies express strong opposition to supporting PT, feeling betrayed by PT's willingness to align with parties from the previous military-backed government.
- A recent meeting between PT and MF concluded without any agreement, underscoring MF's deep reluctance to endorse PT's current strategy of forming a government at any cost.
