Following the announcement by Abhisit Vejjajiva that he is ready to hold elections on 14 November, subject to certain conditions, Reuters are quoting protest leader Jatuporn Prompan as saying
"We will talk about it and discuss his proposal seriously and decide what our position is. We cannot just reject or accept it immediately,".
It would be a compromise by both sides but I wonder if it's enough to get things moving.
If they say yes and Abhisit goes back on the election for some reason it will be tough for them to mobilise their mob again.
I don't think hey have a choice in the matter. This is their gracious exit, handed to them on a silver platter, except the leaders and some others will have to accept jail time. Imagine how stupid and foolish they would look if they rejected, and went back to storming buildings? Especially since it's already been basically said, "either agree, or armored vehicles are coming in".
The UDD are due to make their decision known about now (5pm).
Now they are saying 6:00 pm.Originally Posted by FOF
It COULD be over tomorrow.
Sweet... time for fun.
Its not over, they're demanding lots of conditions although Weera has agree to negotiate.
I do believe the dissolution would occur a number of days before the election (15?). One of the demands is just stupid.
Expect the situation to go on. :-(

The four conditions are a clear date for the dissolution of Parliament paving way for the November 14 poll, a show of sincerity by stopping all types of intimidation, no amnesty on criminal charges related to terrorism and anti-monarchy offence and immediate stop to involving the monarchy in the political conflict..
Oh FFS...
