Abhisit supports call for lifting the ban on political activities



BANGKOK: -- Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva voiced his support for the proposal of the National Reform Steering Assembly that the NCPO should lift the ban on political activities, saying that the move will not undermine national stability.

He also expressed concern over the restriction of free expressions regarding the draft charter and the referendum which, he said, may make the draft constitution illegitimate.

Abhisit on Wednesday visited Mr Suthep Thuagsuban, chairman of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee Foundation, to express his well wishes on the occasion of the latter’s 67th birthday anniversary.

He insisted that he still enjoys good relationship with Suthep although the relationship between the Democrat party and the PDRC foundation remains an ocean apart.

The Democrat party and PDRC share different opinions regarding the draft charter.

Time to be a man of your own, Ahbisit. Still beholden to the biggest financer of the Dem Party and has no fortitude to stand on his own principle and belief. He will never make it as a good leader. He will always be the fetch and carry water boy.

One thing the Dems and Reds both agree on is they have been forced away from the trough for too long. So join together for Democracy political stability political correctness lets have election asap. The winner as usual gets carte blanche to steal the country blind.

Wishing someone a happy birthday does NOT make him beholden to them.

I do agree that he will never be a good leader though.

Sadly with Abhisit as the Democrat party leader and the dinosaurs running the party they would probably come third in a one horse race.

What they need is a complete shake up which is what all the Thai political parties need.

As opposed to letting the military steal the country blind.

Those who think this thoroughly corrupt military will make things better in Thailand display naivety and ignorance of mind boggling magnitude.

In my opinion, Abhisit is a wastrel and an incompetent. an over-educated fool, whose certificates surpass his principles by a considerable margin.

Anyone believes or gives credit to word one of what he says is likely to do so because he reminds them of themselves.

The fact that this man continues to lead the Democrat party speaks volumes for the quality of that party.
