The Popular Alliance for Democrcy wants to replace Thailand's one-man, one-vote system with one in which representatives are chosen by professionals and social groups rather than the general electorate& has support from generals in the military & corporations.Rail & garment unions are the only organisations there really standing up for social & economic democracy.
watching BBC news last night, it did seem like a popular uprising although BBC websites were more truthful. Many of the elite in Thailand seem sick of democracy even though the people power party which won recent elections came out of the party started by billionaire ex prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra
