Red Shirts: Happy To Take The Road To Oblivion?

[yoshiwara]

Assuming the Red shirts are successful and these actions lead to new elections. How are these actions fundamentally different than a coup which leads to new elections?

Bad hypothesis.

You could equally assume that the reds are unsuccessful and there will be new elections.

Today Gordon Brown PM of UK announced he is disolving Parliment and will hold an election on May 6, 2010 ( 1 Month from today).

Wouldn't it be a nice gesture in Abhisit demonstrated that he can run his government as good as Gordon Brown and disolve Parliment and schedule an election onf the same day as the UK. Surely he must concede if the UK can do it so then can Thailand. Both he an Gordon Brown were educated in the UK.

The difference is that Gorden Browns term of Office is drawing to a close no ifs or buts,thats one point of Democracy that the Reds do not understand,thats why the UK is having an election.

Point two is whichever Political Party wins in the UK you will not see the losing voters or Parties take to the streets and cause Anarchy because their chosen Party did not get Elected,thats also the Democratic way.

Thailand is different no one Party can accept defeat by the majority,and that is the unsolvable dilemma.

[otherstuff1957]

Actually, it's not so much that they cannot accept defeat. The problem is that neither side will accept the other as the ruling party. If a third party ended up putting together a ruling coalition, the Dems would probably accept them. Of course Thaksin wouldn't accept any government that he couldn't control.

"Weng suggesting the red shirts are prepared to risk laying waste to the country." So it is a coup they're after.

I am betting that Abhisit will dissolve parliament more than one month early.

You still haven't answered why you thought it was proper and moral for force to be used against the PAD protestors on Oct 7th but not against the Reds that attacked the 1st Reg. --- care to explain?

Actually there is no logical reason whatsover to synchronise the Thai and British election dates and in fact stinks of petty-bourgeois political ignorance.

If there was any link to be made, it is that the British PM exercised his right to call an election at the end of the permitted parliamentary term.

That would put the Thai election into 2011.

But that wouldn't suit a Thaksin apologist.

So he dreams up rubbish to order.

After talking to some of my English friends I sincerely hope that P.M. Abhisit can run the government in this country a lot better than Gordon Brown. has been running the British government. Currency watchers will probably agree.

The British people are not happy with the jovial Scot and some of his policies either.

Gordon Brown also knows there is an equally capable Conservative member to take over if the Labour Party loses an election.

Abhisit has no such assurance and knows PTP is in disarray.

Thaksin can always be 'pardon' and make a comeback.....

Stupid comment.

Gordon Brown is far from a successful PM and what's any of that got to do with Thailand.

And the fact that they were both educated in the Uk got to do with anything?

PM Abhsisit is doing just fine thank you.

Doing fine as a puppet you mean....

[draggons]

How can anyone think to compare the British goverment with the Thai goverment?

There's certainly no sleeze, backhanders, favours ( owed or sought) corruption, favorisim, underhand dealing etc etc in the British goverment!

I disagree, clearly the UK and Thailand are in two entirely different situations. Even blind freddy can see that.
