LET THE PEOPLE RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS

The people of Thailand will be given the opportunity to resolve the current problems. A cabinet meeting this morning agreed to hold a public referendum, according to the Culture Minister who is quoted on The Nation website as quoting Prime Minister Samak.
Personally I hope it will be done swiftly and the outcome will be decisive and accepted by all sides.

"Let the people resolve the problems"

Well, that's the issue, isn't it? PAD believes that "The People" are too easily hoodwinked to be able to make a good choice, and that it should be left up to wiser minds.

As long as an election is based upon the decision of the majority, PAD will always lose. If left in the hands of a chosen oligarchy, PAD will be content.

A national referendum will solve nothing.
