In the world of Thai politics, the name of the Move Forward Party (MFP) has been surfacing quite frequently. Known for their refusal to compromise key policy areas, the party’s fierce determination has been met with mixed opinions. According to a survey conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida Poll), the majority of people claim that this stubbornness led to the party’s unsuccessful attempt to form a government and secure party leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, a seat as Prime Minister.

The bottom line of this opinion poll, carried out between July 24-26 through phone interactions with 1,310 individuals of diverse background, was crystal clear. Participants were asked to identify what they perceived as the missteps that led to the MFP’s stumbling block in electing Mr. Pita as prime minister. The reasons they cited were varied:

• 42.98% believed the MFP’s refusal to relinquish some of its policies for extra support was a crucial error.
• 30.46% thought the MFP didn’t commit any blunders in its approach.
• 27.56% suggested that the MFP was outmanoeuvred in the strategic game of Parliament.
• 11.68% argued that the MFP’s tendency for isolation resulted in them not having enough allies at their side.
• 10.23% claimed that the MFP lacked a true grasp of Thai political culture.
• 9.54% raised concerns over the qualifications of the party’s chosen prime ministerial nominee.
• 7.94% noted that the MFP had a high number of political rivals working against it.
• 7.86% mentioned that the behaviour of some MFP supporters had cost the party potential support in Parliament.
• 7.56% felt that the MFP relied too heavily on support groups.
• 6.11% mentioned that the MFP was overly confident in its 14 million votes and 151 MPs.
• 5.88% criticized the MFP’s advisers for miscalculating the political climate and situation.

Conversely, a small proportion of 0.53% of those surveyed couldn’t pinpoint any particular mistakes made by the MFP or simply didn’t have any interest in the subject.

The survey also sought opinions on the likelihood of political disturbances erupting if the MFP landed in the opposition. These were the varied responses:

• 35.19% believed large but manageable protests would likely take place.
• 24.81% foresaw small and easily controlled demonstrations.
• 23.16% were of the more pessimistic view that large scale protests could spiral out of control.
• 11.99% believed that there would be no protests at all.
• 2.90% envisaged small-scale protests that would be difficult to control.

Only a small fraction of 1.45% had no opinion on the issue or expressed disinterest.

The MFP allied with Pheu Thai and six smaller parties, rounding up a total of 312 MPs, in a bid to form a government body. Despite this, MFP’s Pita failed to secure an adequate backing from the Senate, falling short of the required 375 votes in the first parliamentary voting on July 13.
