Thailand's Move Forward Party, seen as a threat by the establishment, gained significant support in the country's election last year. However, the party has faced swift opposition from the old guard, resulting in its recent disbandment by the Constitutional Court. The court accused the party of attempting to overthrow the monarchy by proposing changes to the royal defamation law. This move has led to the barring of several party members from politics for a decade. Despite these challenges, the party's former leader has expressed determination to establish a new opposition party and continue the fight for a fully democratic Thailand. The party's rise to prominence came as a surprise, capturing support across different demographics and regions with its progressive platform, including calls to reduce the military's influence in politics, weaken the royal defamation law, and address social and economic issues. However, its confrontational stance towards the military and the palace has made it a target for the country's dominant institutions, leading to its downfall. While the party has faced criticism and legal challenges, it has maintained significant public support, with a poll indicating that its former leader was the top choice for prime minister among respondents. Despite the disbandment, the party's members are expected to remain a key part of the opposition in Thailand's legislature, signaling a continued struggle against the establishment.
