Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, will be nominated as the country’s new prime minister in a parliamentary vote, her party and its coalition partners said Thursday.

The move follows the removal of former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin by court order over an ethical violation a day earlier.

    Thailand already has a hereditary monarchy… now the elected government is going to a nepo baby after the actual elected government threatened to slightly limit the outrageous laws about criticizing the monarch.

    This is extremely bad and… are they watching the unrest in Myanmar and feeling jealous? This is how you get a fucking coup.
