	Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai: Nothing succeeds like success
		That Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai party claimed the largest electoral victory in Thailand in recent times, despite a previous administration that in 3 short years oversaw a steady recovery of the Thailand economy, and despite Thaksin's impending Constitutional Court review of a National Counter Corruption Commission graft indictment, should come as no surprise.

		Thaksin also cleverly exploited nationalist sentiment in the wake of IMF intervention post crisis and the increasing foreign ownership of Thai companies, especially in the backing and finance sector.
