webfact Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Red Shirts ready to mobilise supporters into city streetsBy English NewsBANGKOK, Nov 20 – Red Shirt supporters will expand their rally in Bangkok, originally scheduled to end tonight, if the Constitution Court’s ruling today fails to appease them.Thida Thavornseth, chairwoman of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), said the rally at Rajamangala Stadium is to monitor the court’s judgement on a charter amendment concerning electoral procedures and composition of the Senate.A bill, calling for the election of all members of the Senate, with no appointed members as at present, was passed by Parliament, prompting the opposition Democrat Party to lodge a petition with the Constitution Court claiming that Parliament's action breaches Section 68 of the charter.Mrs Thida said the Constitution review was approved by the national legislative body and the judicial branch should not intervene and block the action.The three pillars of democracy – administrative, legislative and judicial branches – should not interfere with each other, said Mrs Thida.She said Thailand will be in chaos if the Constitution Court dissolves the ruling Pheu Thai Party and revokes the political rights of 312 MPs and senators.“We may mobilise the suporters (now at Rajamangala Stadium) instead of calling it off Wednesday night. Core leaders will hold a meeting if the court’s ruling is not in our favour. However, we will not pressure, threaten or assault the judges,” said Mrs Thida.“The demonstrators will listen to only three core leaders - myself, Nattawut Saikua and Jatuporn Prompan. We assure that our fight will be peaceful.”The UDD leaders went on stage to address to the demonstrators at Rajamangala Stadium last night without the usual video-linked speech by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

whybother Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The three pillars of democracy – administrative, legislative and judicial branches – should not interfere with each other, said Mrs Thida. Isn't the idea of the three branches to keep an eye on each other ... ie checks and balances? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pitty, he could have explained why the amnesty for Abhisit and Suthep is important and why these "murders" don't want (or don't need) amnesty.

We red shirts are against the amnesty But wait we don't vote against it, because blabla We need to protect the government against the democrat murders who don't want to get amnesty Lets protest against the court..... caused a few red shirts to be confused for what or against what they are now also the dear lady can't help as she is on a shopping trip to Singapore today.

You're right. There aren't that many... perhaps because they felt betrayed? Just goes to show perhaps they're not all available on tap for 500 baht after all?

nong38 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Somehow this does not strike me as sounding like a peaceful mobilization on the streets and certainly not what tourists will want to be greeted by in the fast approaching "high season".

Shopping?? Edit: two daughters left for London to "work" with many suitcases (8 or 18 rumors aren't clear, but definitely they carry a lot clothes or heavy tools for working??) and Somchai and his wife Yaowapha (Thaksins other sister) also left.

I expect numbers to swell if the court starts banning people though. The Reds aren't that popular with the locals in Bangkok anymore. In Sai mai, Saphan mai and Don Muaeng they have sort of gone from hero to zero. The locals used to turn out in mass for the Red's rallies but not anymore. Yeah, I agree with emptyset... they feel betrayed, but I doubt the, masses will swell unless they are all bused in from Issan, I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
