As I remember the election returns there were often like 45%-55% or 40%-60%. Only gradations of shading in the mapping could probably show this. Calling anti-PPP a "minority" as I've seen doesn't really capture the divided reality of things. IMHO Mapping like that with a threshhold point at 50% doesn’t show how divided things actually were.

The Dems grab 132 constituency seats and 33 proportionate seats, while PPP got 198 constituency seats and 34 proportionate seats. Have people been voting for PPP constituency MPs while ticking for Dems proportionate MPs? A strange two way voter we have got. Have the advance voting score really be siphon from PPP to the Dems, or vice versa? The question is what will PPP do about it? Or what will the Dems do?

Whether PPP and the Wadah Faction really have much in common is very debatable. And Wadah enjoys less support than in some previous elections, as they have partly discredited themselves by clinging to Thaksin during a time in which he made the region's unrest even worse. But, in fairness, this business of buying out factions and running parties with no real policy (except to exploit) is hardly a PPP/TRT phenomenon alone. My information about Wadah, from those who have met them, is that they are essentially separatists who voice their support for continuing Thai rule of the deep south for the purposes of cementing their own power and wealth. On that level, they DO have something in common with PPP/TRT. Answer to the above, by buying a complete political faction.
