Демократическая партия становится главной политической силой страны. Наблюдатели предсказавают, что лидер Демократической партии станет следующим премьер-министром. Это очень прозападно настроенный человек. Видимо, политический курс страны может резко измениться.

По крайней мере, следующие 5 лет мистер Таксин и его 110 ближайших соратников не смогут заниматься политической деятельностью.
