King endorsed, better luck next time Pita: https://ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/documents/140D201S0000000000100.pdf

Resolves NO

Still needs to be endorsed by the monarchy, but: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/21/thailand-thaksin-pheu-thai-election-srettha/

Since there is a nonzero (if somewhat negligible) chance of revolt/death before he takes office, I’m going to wait to resolve.

@JoshuaWilkes there's another vote next week, but losing this one doesn't seem great

@JoshuaWilkes I'm proud of myself for seeing the writing on the wall for this vote - too much ambiguity and pressure, it didn't seem like he'd get the needed votes. I agree, it doesn't bode well for the future and he was off by even more than I'd have guessed.

Results coming in: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/14/world/asia/thailand-election-results.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I’m sort of sad to see Türkiye’s election flooded with activity but Thailand have next to nothing.

@DanMan314 Definitely

@DanMan314

@JoshuaWilkes Hahaha I didn’t even know there was and election happening in Mauritania so I’m part of the problem apparently
