Opposition forces, fed up as much with Thaksin’s corrupt practices as with his longstanding popularity, have recently begun seizing government ministries and calling for a royally appointed government. If they succeed, PTP supporters will likely descend on Bangkok, much as they did in 2009-2010, after a “judicial coup” dissolved Thaksin’s People’s Power Party, the PTP’s predecessor, and the Democrats formed a coalition government.
反对势力的崛起既是因为他信的腐败行为，也是因为他长期获得群众支持。最近，反对党派开始冲击政府部门，要求由国王任命政府。如果他们成功，为泰党支持者就可能在曼谷失势，一如2009—2010年在“司法政变”解散了他信的人民力量党（People’s Power Party，为泰党的前身）、民主党组建临时政府后所发生的事情。但是，此次示威者的愤怒更有过之，赌注也比上一次高得多，因为王权在泰国选举民主中的角色正在遭受考验。
