Thailand's Youth Demand Radical Change in Military-Dominated Kingdom.

Thailand's upcoming election is being led by a young generation of voters who are calling for change, including the removal of the military from politics and even reforms to the monarchy. Two parties, Pheu Thai and Move Forward, are leading the polls, with Move Forward being described as a "game changer" due to its radical national reform agenda. The party is pledging deep structural reforms to how Thailand is run, including changes to the military, the economy, the decentralization of power, and even reforms to the previously untouchable monarchy. However, the pro-democracy parties face roadblocks, including a pro-military Senate that can influence who becomes the next prime minister.
