Thailand calls for new election after dissolving parliament.

Thailand's parliament has been dissolved to make way for an election in May, which is expected to reignite a power struggle between the military-backed establishment and the Shinawatra family, which has dominated elections for two decades. The billionaire family's parties have won every election since 2001, but three of its governments were removed in military coups or by court rulings. The election will choose members of parliament, which together with an appointed Senate will choose a prime minister by the end of July.
