Thaksin tells Thailand's red shirt opposition - 'play dead'... for now

[JAG]

Wow, any headline with Thaksin is like a red rag to the TV frothers!

Thing that really irks them is that they know what he said is true; when finally an election is permitted the people will simply reiterate the same message. We want Thaksin!

Some people. A minority of the population and electorate.

Actually, it is the majority of the electorate who have voted the PTP into power in every election for the last 9 years. No amount of nitpicking will alter that fact.

I suppose if you keep telling yourself enough, you will believe it......by the way, in case you missed it, just before Yinglucks Government was kicked out, a poll was taken on this subject with the result indicating a sound defeat of the "redshirts" if an election was held

Obviously the army and their backers missed it as well, or maybe they weren't prepared to risk it?
