Hundreds of red-shirt supporters on Monday paraded from the Democracy Monument to the head office of the Chartthaipattana Party, calling on it to join the Pheu Thai Party's campaign to amend the constitution.

The red-shirts, led by core members of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship UDD including Payap Panket, Darunee Kritboonyalai, Prasang Mongkolsiri and Suthachai Yimpraset, later went to the Pheu Thai Party's headquarters, reports said.

They submitted a letter calling on the senior government party to expedite the third and final reading of the constitution amendment bill, tentatively scheduled for February next year.

Do most of them even know what they are doing there? I wonder if they have been told to attend and then shipped off like cattle to Bangkok to make up the numbers all paid for by the man on channel 11.

I must admit there seems to be a different law depending on your political persuasion when it comes to a demonstration.

"The reports said fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was expected to make a phone-in to his supporters at 9pm."
Why phone-in when he can use the State television???

That's a good new today to see so few Red/UDD demonstrators. People are fed up with them, their speechs carry only hatred words and they are too much devoting to the convicted man of Dubai. No hope is possible from their side... Next years there will be only dozens to parade around Democracy Monument...

bkk-farang, DS 11; Good oberservation about the new red clothing. Note also the mass produced signs and flags, undoubtably furnished by the same suppliers. What strikes me the most is the expression on the red shirt protestor faces; they look shamed and humiliated. I would be shamed as well; protesting to change the constitution without a clue as to what is to be changed!
