Mentors Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 from The NATION: Chat Thai, Democrat and Mahachon boycott the snap election Opposition coalition; Democrat, Chat Thai and Mahachon, have announced that they will boycott the snap election because caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra tried to distort the spirit of real political reform. Democrat Party's leader Abhisit Vejajjiva said that all three parties will not field candidates in the election that Thaksin was not sincere in the proposal on amendment and political reform proposed by the opposition coalition. The announcement came after Thaksin rejected the coalition's demand for Thaksin to sign a pact on the political reform. Thaksin proposed in a press conference earlier that all political parties should draft social contract as it is greater than pact proposed by the opposition. "Thaksin's counter-proposal would run against the principle of political reform and would complicate the reform." Abhisit said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
