The so called Popular Alliance for Democrcy have seized a major airport& want 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 with support from generals corporations.Trade unions are the only organisations there it seems really standing up with human rights organisations for social & economic democracy.
listening to BBC news last night& watching other reports, you might think . Many of the elite in Thailand are 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 in 1997. The people must not go unheard& must be allowed to participate.

Democracy is not in crisis as Brezezinski & other corporate ideologues say it is capitalism that is in crisis & the only thing that can save us is more universal democracy socially& economically in every country. Provinces & countries can be federated internationally with voluntary confederations rather than empires.

The party which won recent elections is not angelic, but is better than dictatorship or rule by elites.
The coup leaders must stop, give up hostages& all progressive international democracies, human rights groups& unions& all democrats need to support the people of Thailand for our sake & theirs.
Contact your relatives explain the situ, get the media to give better coverage & get your MP, trade union or human rights group to help.
