Actually, the more accurate number is ~ 183.  Remember also that some MPs
from these 4 parties were once members of the "evil" parties.  It will not
surprise me at all if some of them switch back causing a cabinet reform 
or even a new election...

People in many provinces are more "financially" sensitive than politically.

Wow!  Where and when did Chatchai take "intro to algorithm"?  From what
school?  I understand now why Chatpattana and Chatthai are so adept at
some mathematical series, e.g., 3,5,7 ....  These guys always do things
in an unusual way (e.g. unusually rich) and these guys are the people
who turn our economy into an NP-complete problem.

Many things are certain in our politics: those on Rajdamnern are certainly
dead (for free, not for freedom) while "toxic waste" politicians will 
certainly dominate our politics forever.  Another thing is "idiots will 
certainly and continuously sell their votes".  Thai frogs are certainly 
doomed to be ruled corrupted cranes.  
I suggest a better title: "Back to no Future IV" or 
"Star war: the Return of Satan".
