This could get nasty

The PAD announce a plan to "take" government house.

Samak responds by calling an urgent meeting and confirming the PAD will be blocked by police. Chamlong responds by saying the PAD will simply return.

I'm a fan of Chamlong (I was neutral on Sonthi before, but I will never forget him printing the address of Choksak on his web site) and I abhor Samak, but this is plan wrong.

How can a self proclaimed democratic group "take" government house? For what? What democratic mandate do they have? The belief that they are right? That's called dictatorship.

Keep watching.

And it goes on....

Over a month after the election and after much power brooking, bargaining and sedition, Samak was finally confirmed as PM today. His name will be submitted for royal approval.

One question remains: how will the new parliament form legislation without the senate? As the senate is not due to be confirmed for some time, are the new MP's unable to do anything before then?

A month late parliament. A lower house without an upper house, it all seems a mess.
