Yaowapa as PM rumours rile party

Pheu Thai Party members have expressed concern at suggestions that Thaksin Shinawatra's younger sister Yaowapa Wongsawat could be groomed to take over as premier.

Sources said the members felt such a move, should Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra be forced from office, would do the party more harm than good.

It's believed senior party members had tipped Mrs Yaowapa to take over in case Ms Yingluck is disqualified over a loan transaction probe by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

Why not get Jatuporn to be the next prime minister and form his red government instead?

Perhaps Thaksin can just undergo a sex change operation and come back as one of his own sisters. But strike that, I don't want to give him any ideas.
