Prime Minister Yingluck is still firmly in the saddle
Prime Minister Yingluck still has the strong support of her constituents despite the wave of criticism over the government's floundering in tackling the floods.
Political analysts conclude this after the censure debate in parliament on Sunday and Monday. Justice Minister Pracha Promnok, director of the much-criticized Flood Relief Operations Command, the government's crisis center, easily survived a vote of no confidence tabled by the opposition Democrats, thanks to the large majority held by the governing parties.
The most curious accusation was made by MPs from the ruling Pheu Thai party: the floods were part of a conspiracy by the previous Democratic-led government to undermine the stability of the current government.
But the population may still stand behind Yingluck and the hair as one man, that does not mean that the future is bright, says Bangkok Post in an analysis. Foreign investor confidence has been shaken. They are threatening to move their production to other countries because they fear that the country will be hit by floods again next year as long as the government is not able to get serious about containing it. Insurance companies have already hinted that policies are being revised and premiums are going up.
further forms Thailand a political risk because of the Thaksin issue. Analysts say Thaksin, who is actually pulling the strings at Pheu Thai, wants to return to Thailand to take over the leadership of the country. A tense moment comes in May when the political ban ends for 111 former Thai Rak Thai politicians.

She may still sit firmly in the saddle, the only question is which saddle?

It was also to be expected that confidence in foreign investors would decrease after the fumbling and mismanagement during the floods.
The reticence with regard to new investments is also no surprise. This has been predicted by many economists as confidence in Thaksin is very low. And to be fair, she still functions as her big brother's puppet.
After the flooding, the floods that still have a particularly large impact on Thailand, and this in all kinds of areas, Now the various currents in political terms, which are trying to capitalize on, among other things, the past catastrophe.
The Belgian may have a new government on Monday, Europe will no longer have a Euro, but what is the economic and political future for Thailand? There are enough experts writing here, who can perhaps write a non-binding analysis on this?
Could broaden my view of Thailand in any way.
