Sudarat discloses reconciliation options

Following the convincing defeat of Thai Rak Thai Party in Sunday's Bangkok elections, party deputy leader Sudarat Keyuraphan unveiled party's proposals to reach reconciliation with its opponents, including a proposal for Thaksin to take a political break.

Sudarat said the three proposals have been floated and discussed in the party but have not yet been finalised as the party's stand yet.

According to Sudarat, the Thai Rak Thai was willing to step aside for other parties in certain constituencies so that other parties would win MPs to help amend the Constitution, which would be done in a year.

She said if the first proposal was accepted, Thai Rak Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra would not accept the post of prime minister during the process to amend the charter.

In the third proposal, she said, the Thai Rak Thai would invite all parties to send representatives to form a government of national unity and the Thai Rak Thai would assign another person to become the prime minister.

The Nation

Sounds like the best idea they've had for a long time, this really could help ease the Political situation. There must be a catch or maybe just perhaps there has been a deal struck behind closed doors and that has led to the new election date being set on oct 15. Basically saving Thaksin face.

Sounds like UMNO ( malaysia ).....
