Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will be driven out of the country unless she is able to shake off her brother Thaksin's influence, Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban said Sunday.

Suthep: ‘Truth’ push working

The former Democrat secretary-general said Ms Yingluck would end up sharing her brother's fate if she carried on acting as his lackey.

Mr Suthep has a very big mouth. He should ponder the grain of truth in the old saying: "what goes around comes around". I agree with his opposition to the concept of "amnesty" which experience elsewhere shows is shorthand for denial of your past and an unstable short-term fix for deeper underlying problems. However, if he thinks he can dodge his obligation to justify his decisions as head of the SRES during the 2010 red-shirt street protests in court by simply claiming the charges against him have another political agenda, then he should think twice because he does have a case to answer and his defence will be scrutinized beyond Thailand.

Disc71 - You are correct. Most posters are from western backgrounds. They have the benefit of western educations and western morals...

That is why the majority of comments are anti-Thaksin/Peua Thai/Red Shirts.

There are a few Udon-farangs in favour of PT's populist bribe/policies... They think their wives' families will ask for fewer 'loans'.

The constitution court must be independent and must keep the rules of the separation of the three powers of administration, legislation, and judicature under the democracy in Thailand. And all peoples must understand its deep meaning of the separation of the three powers, if Thailand is developed land.
A person graduated from a highper-education can understand it.

Its obvious to me that most who posted here are foreigners who cannot vote and have no say in the politics of Thailand. Most of these comments are not the least helpful in anyway to the progress and building of this country. People from a democratic Anglo-saxon background should know better that a government that has been elected by the people should remain in place until its term is over and a new election is called. So I do not understand why there is all this exhibition of pure childishness in these comments that only have the intention of citing non-cohesion among Thais who are still learning about democracy. Why pour more fuel on fire?
