ELECTION DATE REMAINS UNCLEAR

Thailand's Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont has cast doubt on whether the proposed general election will go ahead in December as previously announced. The country is set to vote on a new constitution on August 19, and a public rejection of the bill is likely to lead to a delay in the restoration of democracy.
Worryingly the military has been reported as saying it reserves the right to impose its own charter. That begs the question what will happen if the public votes 'no' to the new constitution? My guess it further uncertainty at best - and that's exactly what Thailand doesn't need right now.
