Coup instigators plotting Democrat Party takeover?  

Re: “Uncertainty over Abhisit’s future as leader: coffee meeting yesterday between PDRC ex-leaders and Abhisit”, The Nation, yesterday.

So if they never resigned from the Democrat Party, does that mean that while they actively planned and put in place measures which were intended, and succeeded, in preventing voting in a constitutionally mandated election, they were acting as members of that party?
Were they acting as members of the “Democrat Party” when they connived with the military to stage a coup, which overthrew an elected government and installed a military junta?
It casts a rather long shadow on the title “Democrat”, doesn’t it?

Good thing they used a close-up which only shows four people. Five people would be illegal, but then those rules only apply to the “other side”.
It would be nice if they had some actual ideas (platform?) to raise everyone up, to improve the lives of all Thais, and create a sustainable democracy. Oh, right. What was I thinking?

Perhaps Abhisit should show some moral fortitude by leading the movement for an election instead of just paying lip service to the peoples’ rights. 
As it stands, he is seen as something of a wishy-washy figure who is allowing the likes of Chaturon to be seen as more of a people’s champion. Certainly, he has made the odd utterance about an election, but that’s not exactly “leading the way” – many Thais I speak to want reforms and the right to determine their own destiny. Abhisit is not helping them to achieve that. But sadly, no one else in the Democrats is showing any signs of courage – not even Korn, upon whom many have placed their faith.
