MP sees little hope for Puea Thai peace bid

Political split from red, yellow shirts opposed

The chances a "peace plan" put forward by Puea Thai will result in the party softening its stance towards the Democrats are slim, says Plodprasop Suraswadi, the party's deputy leader and author of the proposal.

Too many Puea Thai MPs disagree with a proposed compromise that would see the party distance itself from the red shirt movement.

Mr Plodprasop told a radio interviewer yesterday his plan was "unlikely to happen", but he hoped peace talks between rival groups could go ahead without the involvement of yellow and red shirt supporters.

    They are half heartly to move the reconciliation plan with the government because they know they will lose out in National Election because they are related to the Red Shirt terrorism act.Every thai's already know that and don't just put on a Mask and telling everybody that they plan to join the reconciliation with the Government.Just like the Chart Thai head saying not sure it will goes through or not...Even other parties are feeling the same just like us..Wenging all the time.
