    Not surprising but not for the reasons most here have come up with.

    If the BJT is dissolved the MPs are free to move to another party. As a large group has said they will move to the PTP at the next election it's most likely that someone from within the party has figured this out and petitioned the court to dissolve his/her own party so the MPs are free to join the PTP now.

    Must be past the deadline. That's what happened to the Dems for not claiming 24 million baht. Time to get rid of the EC.

    Criminal charges against Newin should soon follow.

    The Boss had better hurry up and change the Constitution very soon because I think that the Election Committee is soon going to be petitioned for dissolution for so many reasons that you could fill a page of the Bangkok Post. When you play dirty tricks, you get dirty tricks back.

    Party dissolution for this? Are you kidding?

    It never was going to end well for Newin's lot after his defection from big boss at a critical time. The man from abroad is not the vengeful type..
