The tortuous trail of Thaksin influence

When asked any question the Prime Minister defers the answer to her ministers, from whom she gets her advice.

Yongyuth confesses to asking Thaksin to Skype, because Thaksin is his adviser.  Yongyuth says that the PM makes her own decisions and is not dominated by her brother.  Yingluck therefore takes advice from people who take their advice from Thaksin but she is not influenced by Thaksin. So that is alright then.  Glad I got that straight
