	Abhisit has been at the helm of the party for a decade now.&nbsp;</div>

	&ldquo;It is about leadership at an organisation. If I fail, I have to take responsibility. Leadership changes hands when there is a failure,&rsquo;&rsquo; he explained, adding that he had made the previous remark because he was confident that his party would win the next election.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	He also said that the Democrat Party would be reformed to offer better alternatives for the people.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&ldquo;We must boost people&rsquo;s confidence that we can move the country forward with reform,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;</div>
