To begin cleaning up the image of TRT, the members must try to erase all remnants of the old factions that are clinging to power and corrupting others. If they don’t, the party will end up like other smaller parties that have been gathered in to one (like after the coup of 1992) when it disintegrates. Politics should now take a turn for the better rather than stick to the sordid “you lick me, I lick you” political agenda of past king-makers. It’s time to stand your ground, Thaksin, and history will remember you well for that.
