The Thai government backed by the millitary is fighting against time to try to get Mr Thaksin and his wife, Khunying Potjaman back to Thailand from the UK.
The Thailand government hopes that they can use the law from 1912 to get Mr Thaksin back from England well ahead of the election.
Mr Thaksin on the other hand is hoping this will not be the case and betting his money that the new party called PPP will win the election and he can come back as a PM as soon as possible and clear himself off course. The new leader for PPP has openly declared being a “puppet†for Mr Thaksin and you can be sure he has Mr Thaksins money to help him
