Abhisit’s ‘no’ vote contrary to his own party’s mission

It is obvious that Mr Abhisit was almost alone among the Democrats in pronouncing this decision. There were no Democrats gathering behind him as usual this time.

Mr Abhisit should be reminded that the Democrat Party’s philosophy and mission are to eradicate corruption and bring about national reform. So far the party has failed utterly in this. How can he propose to carry out those missions without the strong backing of his own party? Besides, no one can use the motto, “If you can’t beat them, join them” in their fight against bad politics and large-scale corruption anywhere in this world.
