A change to come

I don't think this government will last another month, to be the most optimistic.

With Thaksin fading from the scene, fractions among politicians are more visible than ever. We will now able to see the real opportunists stepping on the foreground of Thai politics.

I have one remark:
Since the 1970s, political conflict in Thailand has become less apprent in terms of ideology. That is, it is not the dictatorship VS democracy battle as it use to be in the last half century. Rather, democracy became an instrument for some groups to use as means to power.
Now you can see artists, poets, and musicians who opposed the military government in the 1970s turn to oppose the elected government.

I wonder...is this just manipulation?

Ps. If anyone wants to catch up, Bangkok Pundit provides the best current situation in English.
