Bangkok Police Asked To Remove Hundreds Of Protesters In Sanam Luang

You are probably correct about "a bigger badder bulldog" but what I asked was what would the protestors gain from YL's resignation?

Apologies, I should have outlined things a little clearer. YLs resignation would give PTP a stronger leader with the respect of the public. This is something that neither PTP nor YL have. She has no credibility in terms of respectability nor honesty with 99% of those who she matters to. She has provided poor leadership and inspiration to those she could really have made a difference to, including many red shirt supporters who desire a stronger leader and understand this is the key to maintaining the PTP stranglehold on the Thai political environment.

But don't forget an awful lot of moderate Thais who would support PTP whether the PM was any of the wide choice available candidates.....Thaksin Shinawatra or Yingluck Shinatwatra or Yaowapa Shinawatra .... also like the idea of having the prettiest Prime Minister in the world. They love their "Miss Contests' here but the only one Yaowapa might win would be Crufts.

Yes, and this is probably the sole reason she has remained the PM after countless dramas and snubs of her own cabinet, responsibilities as PM and to her own people. This is where Thai people need to choose for themselves if they want a leader that looks good in Fendi or actually knows how to ensure their financial future as a country will be bright and ensure that everyone will have the opportunity to share in the generated wealth. This is not Thailand as it currently stands, and it appears Thais do for the most part find more joy in watching a woman (supposedly) good looking in Fendi than being allowed to hope to come from the bottom of the barrels of society to the top.

This was the dream of which many a country was founded on (most famously the US), and until recently was a very real opportunity for those willing to take smart, calculated risks.
