The leader of the People Power party, Somchai, is finally making strides towards becoming the Prime Minister in Thailand. But this was only done after he received approval from five coalition partners and a rebel faction on September 16, 2008. The photo highlighting the article shows the six coalition members holding hands and smiling. I believe that this recent step will help calm some of the political tension prevalent in Thailand currently. Calm is something that Thailand desperately needs because the instability in government has been harmful to the economy and discouraging to tourists.
One other thing that I found particularly interesting is that Somchai is the brother-in-law to Mr. Thaksin, the deposed Prime Minster of Thailand who is now under warrant for arrest. I am interested to see how the public will view Somchai because of this family tie.
