Claim: The Thai Nation Party consisted of right wing conservatism, becoming the Chartthaipattana Party before ultimately joining the Democrat Party in 2008.
Evidence: Thereafter, most MPs founded the Chartthaipattana Party (Thai Nation Development Party), which became the Thai Nation Party's successor. The party represented the rightist and pro-military wing of Thai politics during the relatively liberal and democratic years from 1973 to 1976. In November 1997, it joined a seven-party coalition supporting Democrat Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai.
