webfact Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Poll: Thais want both govt and PDRC to take a step backBANGKOK, 17 February 2014 (NNT) – A majority of Thais have expressed the hope that both the government and the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) will take a step back in order to ease the political tension.Suan Dusit Poll has revealed the results of its survey of 1,300 people nationwide, saying nearly eighty-four percent of respondents thought that the current social conflict was being stirred up by only two political parties, Pheu Thai and the Democrats, as they have different viewpoints and are not willing to reach a settlement.Twenty-six percent of the people questioned said the current impasse was affecting their lives, while eighteen percent thought it was hurting the nation as a whole, causing instability and damaging the country’s image.When asked what would be the best solution, forty-four percent of the respondents said the government and the protesters needed to take a step back and put the country’s interests first, whereas seventeen percent thought that the best way out was to find a mediator who could help the two sides reach a compromise.-- NNT 2014-02-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uty6543 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Poll: Thais want both govt and PDRC to take a step back Not much chance of that. This is a winner takes all fight and I can't see the government winning in the long run. Edited February 17, 2014 by uty6543 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why ask Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's a bit ruddy late for the caretaker government to take a step back, and put the country's interests first. There's only one interest the caretaker government puts first. It sits in Dubai with a big smirk, and is to where all the stolen money has gone, less some to the personal coffers of those in top government positions, i.e. MPs who thieved on his behalf, and got rewarded for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezzainoz Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Once Yingluck looses control of the Thai financial books all hell will break loose the courts will be full till way into next year the logical thing is both side agree to a new election after the 180 days has passed for Taskin to get his "get out of Jail free Card" or form a joint government with non of the present MP's in it But this can not happen as lines 1 and 2 cancel lines 3 & 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an overly simplistic view, and doesn't describe the realities at all. The Shinawatras and Suthep are merely bit players in a larger game. The future of Thailand will be decided in negotiations which will take place well out of the glare of media attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkspeaker Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yingluck already 'took a step back' when she dissolved parliament, she didn't have to do that and it was probably a mistake, she should have just had by-elections in the effected districts once the spoiled brat party(democrats) resigned.. Suthep and the other fascists have even rejected a unity government after academics floated he idea, according to Suthep; the Phua Thai party must not have ANY role in a future government, even though it wins elections convincingly, he insists that democracy must be suspended so an appointed 'people's council' runs the country autocratically, and his group does the 'appointing' but doesn't specify who else appoints, but the entire north of the country must be disenfranchised and learn to like it. Only the spoiled brat party is boycotting this election, all other parties are trying to move forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
