Thaksin party wins landslide Thai election victory
2011-07-03
The sister of Thailand's fugitive former prime minister led his loyalists to a landslide election victory Sunday, a stunning rout of the military-backed government that last year crushed protests by his supporters with a bloody crackdown that left the capital in flames.

The results pave the way for Thaksin Shinawatra's youngest sister, widely considered his proxy, to become the nation's first female prime minister - if the coup-prone Thai army accepts the results.
big if. Wonder if Bangkok Billy will weigh in?
