Scenario two: Evolutionary political reform

摘要

This scenario is based on an 'evolutionary' model intended to heal divisions within Thai society during the narrow window offered by the hiatus after Bhumibol's death. A period of official mourning and ritual will accompany the succession, greatly reducing economic activity, effectively closing down the country tor months and ending overt political activity.rnOnce this period of contemplation and unity ends, the political class will have a brief timeframe to transform these sentiments into changes in how the country is governed. The new monarch's intentions would be crucial, as any sign of disloyalty towards the throne would damage any political figures seeking advantage.
