RT@tulsathit 1) From govt perspective, Feb 2 election will "deadlock" Suthep, making his demand for interim govt farther from reality.

RT@tulsathit 2) Also from govt perspective, being "caretaker" is so insecure. Govt wants to restore its formal status asap.

RT@tulsathit: 3) Even if impasse continues, govt at least will have "numbers" on its side. Foreign support can be strengthened.

RT@tulsathit: 4) But NACC's stepped-up effort to impeach Yingluck is very significant. It can badly complicate post-poll situation.

RT@tulsathit: 5) Mass resignation of EC officials will also create legal/political trouble.

RT@tulsathit: 6) Caretaker govt can't find money to pay farmers. Going for broke is better than continue to be broke.

RT@tulsathit : 7) Suthin's murder and today's shooting have galvanised protesters. They will also go for broke.
