Under the current arithmetic, BJT controls 193 seats, Pheu Thai brings 74, and smaller parties provide the remainder needed for a workable majority. Conspicuously absent is the Klatham Party, which holds 58 seats. Without Klatham, Pheu Thai becomes the coalition's only major partner, giving it considerable bargaining power. Critics argue this could leave BJT exposed should relations deteriorate, as a Pheu Thai withdrawal would immediately imperil the government's parliamentary majority. Rumours are circulating of a possible alternative alliance involving PP, Pheu Thai and Klatham -- a combination that would surpass the 250-seat threshold.
