United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship
Prior to the 2011 election Pallop eventually changed sides and joined the pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai Party as well as its associated activist group United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD, also known as the 'Red Shirts'). However a highly public falling out with the leaders of the UDD, over tactics in 2010, ended his role within the latter organisation. He also served as an advisor to Thaksin's sister Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
