Abhisit vejjajiva's Political Experience

Thailand's domestic political crisis in April 2009;

According to the analysis, this crisis is actually a contest between Thaksin and King Thai, and the Abhisit government represents the interests of the king. Since the outbreak of this crisis, the King of Thailand has not made any statement on the situation. France's "French Southwest" analysis said that in the past, King Bhumibol would intervene in the political deadlock, and his prestige would solve the problem. But now that the king is old, his judgment and appeal have declined, his children and other members of the royal family are still unable to play the unique role of the king. Therefore, Abhisit government can only solve the crisis by itself. The New York Times also said that King Thai was 82 years old, and the uncertainty of his successor cast a shadow over Thailand's political situation. However, some Thai analysts believe that the Abhisit government can still control the situation at present, and the situation has not reached the point where the king has to come forward.

The youngest chairman

1992, abhisit vejjajiva was elected as a member of parliament in Bangkok as party member of the Democratic Party, and began his political career as a spokesman for the Bangkok municipal government. In 2005, Banyat Banthadthan, then chairman of the Democratic Party, resigned after being defeated by Thailand's Lakthai Party led by Thaksin Shinawatra, and Abhisit was elected as the new chairman, becoming the youngest chairman of Thailand's oldest political party.

For Thai people, abhisit vejjajiva is undoubtedly a "popular idol". He is handsome and has many fans. He is also good at speaking, fluent in English and loves sports, especially football.

The youngest prime minister

On the afternoon of February 9, 2008, at 65438, four small parties in Thailand's ruling Coalition announced their support for the opposition Democratic Party to form a cabinet. 12 15, Abhisit Vejjajiva, chairman of the Democratic Party, was elected as the youngest prime minister in Thai history.

Suthep thaugsuban, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party, formally invited chai chidchob, Speaker of the House of Commons and President of the National Assembly, to submit an application to the King for convening a special session of the House of Commons. The Democratic Party opposes forming a cabinet with a majority vote in the House of Commons. A majority vote in the House of Commons requires the support of at least 22 1 members. The Democratic Party won the support of 260 members of the House of Commons, enough to form a new government.

Abhisit, 44, is expected to become the youngest prime minister in Thai history. "The Democratic Party is ready to govern," abhisit vejjajiva said. "We will do our best to lead the country out of the crisis ... We will restore the confidence of foreign investors and tourists."

Chris Becker, a Thai analyst, pointed out that Abhisit has never held a position in the cabinet and has insufficient ruling experience. But the Democratic Party has considerable influence in Thailand, so the Democratic Party will unite to help Abhisit. Becker said: "I don't think we should only pay attention to Abhisit himself, but to the whole Democratic Party."

In the 2007 general election, the number of seats obtained by the Democratic Party barely reached 1/3, which was less than that obtained in the 2006, 5438+0 and 2005 general elections. Some political analysts believe that this makes the Democratic Party and Abhisit lack real public support. Steinan, a professor of political science in Chulalongkorn University, said: "Facts have proved that Abhisit failed to win the election. On the surface, he meets the qualifications of the prime minister and has a cross-cultural and multilingual background. But he was pushed to the front desk by those who could not understand the power of the majority population in rural Thailand. "

"Narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas will be Abhisit's biggest challenge," said Chaiwa Sashanan, a professor of political science at Tamasa University in Bangkok.

With the emergence of the new Prime Minister of Thailand, the international community pays more attention to whether Abhisit can bring new atmosphere to Thai politics and whether Thailand can restore stability and return to the road of development. The vulnerable majority is difficult to govern. Although the Democratic Party successfully "turned over" in the political chaos in Thailand and became the main ruling party, due to many factors, the future ruling road of the Democratic Party is doomed to be not smooth sailing and the crisis still exists.

Idol politicians have a shallow foundation

On the afternoon of June 5438+February 9, 2008, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok, the former Thai Party, the former moderate Democratic Party, the National Party and the National Development Party of Thailand formally expressed their support for Abhisit.

Abhisit vejjajiva, known as "handsome boy", is 44 years old. His ancestors were overseas Chinese of Yuan family who immigrated to Thailand from Vietnam. 1964 was born in England and graduated from Oxford University. The British media are quite interested in this. On February 8, 65438, The Times reported that "British Abhisit will be nominated as Prime Minister of Thailand". Abhisit is good at speaking, fluent in English and loves football. He is handsome, has many "groupies" and is an idol politician.

Abhisit vejjajiva, who represents the interests of the urban middle class, has little contact with farmers in Northeast China and a shallow political foundation. Even if young abhisit vejjajiva came to power, it would be difficult to control the complicated political situation.
