Adul: Wants to build momentum Anti-government sentiment has advanced to such a point where a term has been coined to amplify the opponents' disdain of the administration: "Prayutocracy". The suffix "cracy" was popularised by critics of the Thaksin Shinawatra government, who invented the term "Thaksinocracy" which, as one analyst put it, sums up governmental excesses. These included cronyism, conflicts of interest, irregularities and large-scale solidifying of political power. The term was adopted by protesters to intensify their attack against Thaksin towards the end of his administration which was overthrown in September 2006 by a military coup headed by army chief Sonthi Boonyaratglin, who later became president of the Administrative Reform Council.
