    Default Thailand Opposition Party win general election - what is the future of Thailand?

    The party allied to ousted and exiled ex-leader Thaksin Shinawatra has won a major victory in Thailand's general election, provisional results show.

    With most votes counted, outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has conceded victory to his rival, opposition leader Yingluck Shinawatra.

    Ms Yingluck, who will become Thailand's first female prime minister, said there was "a lot of hard work ahead".

    She is the younger sister of Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted in a coup in 2006.
    The BBC's Rachel Harvey in Bangkok says the result is a clear rejection of the military's intervention in Thai politics and a bitter disappointment for Mr Abhisit.

    Apartly, Thaksin still has huge support of lower class in Thailand, which bring the question whether the middle class and military, which is minority in Thailand, would launch another coup or not.

    And damned Thaksin's younger sister is pretty.
