Event

| People’s Alliance for Democracy | a criticism to Thaksin Shinawatra regime persist and finally led to mass protests organised by the People’s Alliance for Democracy from late 2005. Despite Thaksin having earned a convincing electoral mandate just a year earlier, the protesters claimed that he had lost the legitimacy to govern |
| Red Shirt | The People’s Alliance for Democracy protesters achieved their goal indirectly when the Constitutional Court dissolved Phalang Prachachon at the beginning of December 2008. This led, with some trickery, to the Democrat-led coalition government under Abhisit Vejjajiva. Pro-Thaksin voters felt betrayed, resulting in the ‘red-shirt’ movement. Its protests in Bangkok in 2009 and 2010 were suppressed by the military, the latter instance leading to more than 90 deaths and 2000 injured |

Do not let unreasonable and brazen people set the rules. If this is allowed to continue, it will end up with conflict
