Thailand's Constitutional Court has dismissed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from office, ruling that she acted illegally when she transferred her national security head in 2011.

Yingluck is accused of demoting National Security chief Thawil Pliensri, who was appointed by the opposition-led administration, in order to benefit her Pheu Thai Party and a family member.

Thawil was then replaced by the national police chief, whose post was then given to Priewpan Damapong, a relative of Yingluck.

In March, Thailand's Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the transfer was unlawful and reinstated Thawil.

The court also ruled that nine cabinet members who attended a meeting over the decision to transfer Thawil must also be removed from office.

Unfortunately the court's decision won't end the political crisis in Thailand. The ruling party has called for a general election in July. What they should do is just call a general coup and take out the middle man.
