Suthep yet again ignores "the camel in the room" which is what will happen after his Herculean efforts are finally rewarded with PTP being pushed out of office, and voting rights suspended for an unstated period of time, during which the nation will be ruled by people on Suthep's FB friends' list, who will carry out their unspecified and vague 'reforms'.

Has Suthep considered the possibility that in such a situation, the people he just overthrew might well be rather upset, and seek revenge in the form of protests, bombings and so forth. If the Dems got their politics in order and beat PTP in a fair election, PTP would have a lot less reason to go bananas in a prolonged insurgency type of affair. I don't like the "unelected assembly" idea much at all, but what I'm really worried about is the response that will follow it.

Sutheps FB friends (what a funny and accurate description of who will end up governing if he gets his way) will be unable to effect any meaningful control over anywhere outside of Bangkok and a few southern provinces.

They will have splintered the unity of Thailand far more effectively than the southern insurrection or any Lanna successionist campaign!

Suthep Thugsaban, the ultimate personification of "Free beer tomorrow"

Still sounds better than 'We'll pay you tomorrow."

Well you see the point behind "free beer tomorrow" is that it never happens. Your analogy is about delay, not really the same is it?

March 4, 2014 8:18 a.m. ET BANGKOK—Thailand's Election Commission on Tuesday approved the government's request to disburse $616 million to pay farmers for rice bought months ago in a now-troubled subsidy program. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304585004579418671376343130

Early January weather was highs of 30 and low humidity.

Late March weather is highs of 35 and stifling humidity.

Not a chance the Bangkok yellow shirts turn out in significant numbers.

Suthep served his purpose and elite are trying to distance themselves from him now.

Confusion full stop!!.. And yet people still believe in everything he has to say, it kind of says a lot that these masses are no longer "Masses" what's the average crowd at Lumpini these days anyway ?

200 old women. And 500 thugs to guard those old women :)
