↓ A way forward for thai politics?
Maybe you are predominantly asking for Thai responses. Nevertheless, I think the political process should be managed however Thais believe it should be. But I believe that the process should be managed in a way that reflects the value of democracy as the most important factor in Thai leadership, and so all of the points you list under the first one, that Samak should tough it out (which reflects my opinion), should be determined by his government and the opposition in a public house.
A new election should be determined by Samak and his government if he or they feel it necessary. Should Samak resign, there should be someone from PPP to replace him till the next election cycle. If PPP loses too many seats, then those seats should have bi-elections in order to potentially determine new governance. The Democrats should be given a chance to form government at the next election cycle. A government of national unity should only be formed if the National Assembly is evenly split through bi-elections, which is unlikely — and even that it is a possibility reflects poorly on the Thai legislative system. What is really required is that democracy is stable and regular so people can feel it is foundational and not determined on whims. This way, the Thai legislative system can be gradually improved to iron out the possibility of instances like this happening again. This should be the message from those in power, rather than the petty cat fights we now see.
Therefore, a concrete suggestion on how this chaos should be managed would be for someone that both sides respect to emphasize that elections are not permanent and so all of these issues can be resolved in only 4 (3) years time. Maybe someone has said something to this effect, but I haven’t read it anywhere?
If it the Thai elite proves again that it does not value democracy, and Thailand plunges into more political turmoil, then the consequence should include international travel and financial sanctions placed on those persons, rather than Thais as a collective, so as to encourage organic dissolution of hereditary elites. I don’t know how that would be implemented, just thats how it ’should’ be managed. www.wikipedia.org/wwindex.php?
