  1. The first really brilliant move that Suthep has made in months. He has succeeded in putting pressure but has lost credibility in tactics that made him look like a loser. Thailand needs reform but this guy has yet to put out a comprehensive proposal besides appointing himself PM to run the country with a "people's council."

  2. Is the people's council idea a viable way to run Thailand? No. It makes no sense to have an unelected group of people running the country. Suthep's protest against the current government has some merit but he' gotta come up with a better solution. Meantime all blocked areas by the protesters should open.

  3. The idea of "Reform before Election" came after the parliament was dissolved. The DEM demanded the Parliament be dissolved and when it happened, they boycotted it. Before this, the Government initiated a Reform Forum but that was boycotted by the DEM as well.

    It is an excuse to hide their fear of the people mandate. They rejected all reform initiatives and demanded that only their 'people council' with members nominated exclusively by the DEM's PDRC/PCAD 'executives'.

    You can't really demand "Reform before election" when there is no election planned.

    PCAD actually demanded that Yingluck step down (as in RESIGN) and a "people's council" be appointed. They didn't want parliament dissolved for an immediate election. They wanted reform and then an election in 12 months.

    Obviously the PCAD has not successfully met any of their demands.
