	Vernieta Boonlom raised a pertinent question when she asked whether Prime Minister Yingluck will rebel against her brother for the sake of her country.</div>
<div>
	I don&rsquo;t think that will happen.</div>
<div>
	Yingluck is too na&iuml;ve to realise that her being Thailand&rsquo;s prime minister enables her to take steps to prevent a civil war from happening.</div>
<div>
	I would go further to say that Yingluck and her Pheu Thai MPs are deceiving themselves in believing that Thaksin is a statesman, when in fact he is just a capitalist who took up politics for financial gain.</div>
