STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBANGKOK - Most Thais disagree with the leading plan for a coalition government including military-backed groups, an opinion poll showed on Sunday, two days ahead of a parliamentary vote aiming to end a three-month political stalemate.
Thailand has been under a caretaker government for five months and faces prolonged uncertainty after the winner of the May election, Move Forward, was blocked from forming a government by conservative legislators allied with the royalist military. Pheu Thai, set to nominate real estate tycoon Srettha Thavisin as prime minister on Tuesday, needs the support of more than half the bicameral legislature, including the military-appointed Senate.
Pheu Thai governments were ousted by military coups in 2006 and 2014 - which ousted Thaksin and his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, respectively - when the party's interests clashed with the country's powerful old money elites and royalist military.
