Thai court dissolves reformist party that won election
A Thai court has ordered the dissolution of the reformist party which won the most seats and votes in last year’s election - but was blocked from forming a government.
The ruling also banned Move Forward's charismatic, young former leader Pita Limjaroenrat and 10 other senior figures from politics for 10 years.
The verdict from the Constitutional Court was expected, after its ruling in January that Move Forward’s campaign promise to change royal defamation laws was unconstitutional.

Thanks for enlightening me
Ugh truer words have never been spoken
Thailand is basically a dictatorship then
It's a monarchy... So yeah...
It is more like an oligarchy. The king is a figurehead for others running things behind the scenes and an excuse to keep things the way they are.
There are a lot of interests that don't want the government that the Thai people have been voting in for the past generation.
It's more likely that the military is behind this call. Thailand may be a monarchy but the monarch is not strictly speaking in charge as far as I know.
