Democrats open to Pheu Thai coalition

A Democrat-Pheu Thai Party coalition seems an impossible dream to many, but a senior Democrat has outlined how it could happen.

The Democrat Party has not ruled out working with its arch-rival the Pheu Thai Party if it wins the next election and is in need of a coalition partner, according to Democrat secretary-general Juti Krairiksh.

In an exclusive interview with the Bangkok Post, Mr Juti said the party has set its sights on winning the poll, expected in February next year, and being the core party of the new government.

Mr Juti said the Democrats stand firm on their principle of working under the constitutional monarchy and implementing reforms. He added the party also opposes any conflicts that lead to bloodshed.
