That is one-side story for Pheu Thai and the government. How about a story of Mr. Suthep and/or his party, Democrat? Do they not corrupt as well? How about his charges in his politic's life? Or Democratic's policy which made Thailand owed others many billions? What happened in 1997, how about Hopewell project now? (Hopewell project: a skytrain project, started 10 years earlier with concrete poles and now still concrete poles)
For other who is not Thai, you may not know that being poor in this country will never change your class forever; because some parties and their policy are for rich people who is only 5% of all population of Thailand. In contrast, Pheu Thai with Mr. Thaksin leaded a new policy for poor people. He agreed to run a mega project like "30 baht cure any disease", which Dr. Sagnuan had offered to many government including Democrat for many years. This project is like a heaven pass; poor people can get a new life by only 30 baht. There are also many policies that help those low-class people in suburbs, and that makes them agreed to vote Pheu Thai to be the government again, after military used tanks and guns to repelled Mr. Thaksin.
This is only 1 reason why this party has so many supporters. I am a middle-class people, I do not like Thaksin because he sold stocks without paying taxes, but I like his policies. It helps my life and work grow a lot more than Democrat's.
