Move Forward won the most seats in last year’s election - but was blocked from forming a government.

A Thai court has ordered the dissolution of the reformist party which won the most seats and votes in last year’s election - but was blocked from forming a government.

The ruling also banned Move Forward’s charismatic, young former leader Pita Limjaroenrat and 10 other senior figures from politics for 10 years.

The verdict from the Constitutional Court was expected, after its ruling in January that Move Forward’s campaign promise to change royal defamation laws was unconstitutional.

    Sure. I do admit I’ve never actually read his writings beyond a few pithy quotes like that. But I have read a fair amount about him.

      I am a huge Voltaire fan, so I am not sure how I missed one of the people who were influenced by him and part of that era.
