Thailand's Opposition Parties Eye Historic Power Shift After Election Win.

Move Forward, Thailand's youngest and most progressive party, has celebrated its success in the election and attracted a much wider range of people. Although the party's performance leaves it well short of a majority in parliament, it has agreed with Pheu Thai, the second-largest party, to form a coalition government.
