The last four years of governance in Thailand have been less smooth than in most other countries.

An indecisive victory at the 2019 election led to another coalition Cabinet as a new calculation method delivered some bizarre results. Some parties won no constituency MPs but as many as 10 party-list MPs.Despite winning the most votes, Pheu Thai could not form a coalition government. Strangely, its chief Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphant, despite being Pheu Thai’s No 1 party list nomination, fell foul of the new calculation formula issued by the Election Commission and lost her seat in Parliament.

Covid outbreaks were caused by carelessness and negligence of politicians and certain rich and famous individuals. Nevertheless, luck appeared to be on our side, even though government figures were tarnished by rampant rumours of rigged vaccine purchases and hoarding of face masks. But the success would not have been possible without the sacrifice of ordinary Thais shouldering the burdens and hardship during lockdowns and other severe restrictions. Meanwhile, the government launched several economic rescue schemes to boost GDP and support household finances.

The fight against Prayut's government continued, with censure debates launched by opposition factions as frequently as parliamentary rules allowed.
