Thumbs down Sound familiar

Step 1) Elected government (yes I know last time Thaksin held on to power after a hung election courtesy of the constitution) is protested against by opposition (which enjoys the support of powerful families aligned to the royal family and the army).
Step 2) People who should keep their mouths shut as it is not their place to open them, e.g. the Thai Election Commission say they think the government should be replaced (the government that was elected just a few months ago and won by majority). Citing the problems caused by the opposition party as reason for removing the government, plus allegations the government bought votes (and the opposition didn't!).
Step 3) Mutterings by the army that they will not tolerate civil unrest and have the right to act (but not against the trouble makers).

Default Ah, got him

They are going to depose the Thai PM because he did 4 paid televised cookery shows! What a joke! Is this democracy?

Default Be back soon

According to what I read, they may be looking to depose him as PM after 30 days but his party will just re-elect him as leader and PM so nothing changes.
