Backed by the huge riches and influence of his family empire, fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra has put himself at the centre of Thailand's tense election, despite being thousands of miles away. Duration: 02:25
Good wishes for Yingluck. If she should be Thailand's first female prime minister, she needs to show more respect to the Thai monarchy than what her brother allegedly had shown to the Thai king. Unfair or otherwise, Thaksin was acccused of not taking the king seriously enough and the accusation was enough to mobilize the upper class of Thai society who already at the time felt threatened by Thaksin who did not come from the same privileged background of royal patronage. The Old elites V the New.
Thaksin is coming home....
