Interesting to note that the article, linked below, claims that some 80% of THE PEOPLE want to vote on Feb 2nd! It reveals Sutheps claim to represent THE PEOPLE to be just another of his delusions and begs the question of - why does he stands against the will of such a large majority of THE PEOPLE if he truly cares about what they want? Does it not demonstrate that all Suthep ever cared about was winning? He has never really cared about THE PEOPLE, or what they wanted. He took the credit for convincing the government to drop its Amnesty Bill but the real truth is that it was the true power of THE PEOPLE. In an effort to capitalise on THE PEOPLEs success he craftily claimed that he was their leader and convinced many of them to support him. However, THE PEOPLE are not that easy to fool and Sutheps supporters will dwindle the his string of empty promises grows ever longer and he continues to demonstrate his utter contempt for law and order, his total disregard for the constitution, his disdain for Democracy, his ruthless ambition, his aversion to the truth, and HIS INCREASINGLY BLATANT OPPOSITION TO THE FREEDOMS, RIGHTS AND WILL OF THE PEOPLE! Now that Suthep realises that his minority is only around one in five of THE PEOPLE, at best, perhaps he should change the coalitions name - perhaps the MAD (Minority Against Democracy) might suffice! This piece from The Economist seems to exemplify just how damaging Sutheps anti-election antics have been to the PDRC internationally... IN FRONT of the Royal Thai Army Club the thuggish rump of a failed people’s revolution gathered to collect their reward... There was already a stink of testosterone and aggression in the air. Young men, new veterans of a three-month-long protest against the government, were perched on lorries. They threatened by megaphone to storm the club and rid Thailand of the influence of the Thaksin regime. Ms Yingluck’s supporters would hate to have seen the poll deferred. But it is a coup rather than the delay of another electoral victory that would push them to action. Two other factors supported the government’s decision to risk a showdown. First, an opinion poll shows that four out of five Thais intended to vote if an election were held on February 2nd. Second, American and Japanese diplomats have made it clear to politicians on all sides that Thailand’s frail democracy and its economic prospects must not be held hostage by an angry minority. economist/blogs/banyan/2014/01/elections-thailand?fsrc=rss
