We've finished our job for now'

The alliance, often referred to by its acronym PAD, claims Thailand's rural majority — who gave landslide election victories to the Thaksin camp — is too poorly educated to responsibly choose their representatives and says they are susceptible to vote buying.

It wants the country to abandon the system of one-person, one-vote, and instead have a mixed system in which most representatives are chosen by profession and social group. They have not explained exactly how such a system would work or what would make it less susceptible to manipulation.

"We've finished our job for now," top protest leader Sondhi Limthongkul told reporters. "But if Thaksin's puppets return, we will come back."

It sure have all the ingredients for a civil war if they don´t watch out, but the funny as well as dumb thing in this is that the majority of the Thai armed forces, (and so the real power), comes from that group of "dumb and ignorant peasant stock of the population". It is such a travesty of democracy!
