Thai opposition coalition prioritizes ambitious reforms over royal insult law.

An alliance led by Thailand's progressive Move Forward party signed an agreement to draft a new constitution, end monopolies, and allow same-sex marriage, among other aims, but made no mention of a divisive royal insult law. The opposition Move Forward and Pheu Thai parties dominated last week's election and are seeking to form a coalition government with six other parties. The alliance's agreement includes most of Move Forward's flagship policies, such as a push for decentralization of power and budget and to "cancel monopolies and support fair competition in trade in all industries".
