Thai election results will affect ASEAN
The upcoming Thai elections are only days away. Pheu Thai Party’s Yingluck Shinawatra is ahead in the polls and the military has just, not so subtly, nudged its support in the direction of the Democratic Party. Whilst a repetition of the 2006 coup d’état is far from imminent, the implications of a recurrence of such an event would not only affect Thailand, who has the second largest economy in the region, but the ASEAN region as a whole.
