Core red shirt leaders have backed off from demands for immediate House deliberation of the four national reconciliation bills.

CHANGING AIM: Red shirt supporters rally at Lan Khon Muang near City Hall yesterday. The event was held by the Pheu Thai Party to clarify the government’s charter amendment bid.

The leaders announced the change in position yesterday at a rally at Lan Khon Muang plaza in front of City Hall. The red shirts have organised a series of rallies across the country over recent weeks to promote the bills.

robingrant - "In any case, who cares? The political sympathies of foreigners in Thailand are a complete irrelevance, something which probably escapes the more opinionated posters here."

Absolutely not true. The political climate of a country determines foreign investment and export purchases.
But it seems ironic that the few red shirt apologists that post here seem to envision themselves as some sort of heroes or martyrs for the poor of Thailand when the true is they are tools of the man in Dubai just like all the red shirts. If the man in Dubai cared about Thailand, why hasn't he given a few billion baht of his own money to those poor he pretends to be a champion of?

Don't bother much if there are 65 or not Pro Red non-voting Farangs in Thailand. The 15,744,190 thai voters who chose PT Party to be the ruling government in the 2011 general election matters.

englishbob and brilliant state that there aren't 65 pro red shirt farangs in Thailand. I have no idea how many farangs in Thailand are pro red shirt, and neither, of course, do englishbob and brilliant.

In any case, who cares? The political sympathies of foreigners in Thailand are a complete irrelevance, something which probably escapes the more opinionated posters here.

Discussion 49 englishbob : Don't bother much about the 65 Pro Red votes. Just pay attention to the 15,744,190 votes scored by PT paty in the 2011 general election.

bluebkk, dao - "I advise Bangkok Post not to do internet polls. There is a group of full time political operatives on the sixth floor of a building in Wangtonla who are hired by a certain party." - Abhisit, December, 2007

If you can't win a majority vote, discredit it, eh?

englishbob - "555 Some very odd voting going on...
65 Pro Red votes? There aren't 65 Pro Red Farangs in Thailand."

I just said the same thing on another thread. Seems a red shirt learned out to spam the voting.Who would've thought?

Funny, there's not 50 red shirts that comment here or have ever expressed their opinion. Strange all those dislikes.

Absolutely right, discussion 49 ! Everybody should be aware there are à bunch of artificial red sympathizers on this forum as there are artificial red voters. All steered by some intenational PR organisation wanting to give à false impression of support to the cause of the great fugitive!!!
