The ruling follows court findings that the main coalition party, the People Power Party, Chart Thai and another partner, violated election laws during the December 2007 general elections. Several executives from each party also were banned from politics for five years.

I know things are a little different in other countries but hopefully this will shock politicians into behaving fairly with their electorates.
