Age: 44.
Appearance: attractive but ultimately unmemorable ex-Apprentice contestant.
You're right. I don't remember her at all. What was her thing? She was managing director of her own communications business.
They all say that. What's she done lately? She has just been elected Thailand's first female prime minister.
Not bad. They usually end up on Channel 5. She's not actually off the Apprentice. She's the head of the Puea Thai party, which won a huge majority in recent elections.
Can you give me a precis of her political career to date? I pretty much already have. She entered politics only six weeks ago.
What are her qualifications for office? She's the sister of former PM Thaksin Shinawatra.
I see how it works. I very much doubt that. Thaksin, though ousted in a military coup in 2006, is still very popular in Thailand.
So why didn't he just run himself? Because he's living in self-imposed exile in Dubai, having been convicted in absentia of abuses of power in 2008.
I've never been interested in Thai politics, yet the man's name is strangely familiar to me. Am I smarter than I think I am? You probably know him better as the owner – albeit briefly – of Manchester City. He bought the club in 2007 and sold it in 2008, for a reported £200m.
How does the sister manage to distance herself from her controversial brother? She doesn't. The Puea Thai party, set up by Thaksin, campaigned with the slogan "Thaksin thinks – Puea Thai does".
I'm confused. Are the Shinawatras the good guys or the bad guys? Hard to say. Thaksin is popular with the poor rural majority, who believe he acted in their interests, but his government was dogged by accusations of corruption, nepotism and human rights violations. For the time being, the opposition and the army are minded to accept the election result.
Do say: "The people of Thailand have spoken, and they have overwhelmingly chosen an exiled billionaire's sister."
Don't say: "You're fired."
