The concept of legitimacy in Thailand is not just about elections. It has a moral and ethical component to it.

You could say this is a normal business deal... but when it comes to companies owned by the prime minister, there are different standards.

In view of the kings' remarks, this may be the most practical, workable solution. It's not straightforward, but if they agree among themselves, they can nullify the elections.

In a time of intractable crisis like this, we have the king to look to, but ideally we should try to solve our problems ourselves to mature as a democracy.

It takes a lot to go out and vote for no one.

It looks like at least a handful of constituencies will not be able to pass the 20 percent test.

This is an early indication of the likely nullification of the April 2 general election.

After five years, we still don't have a policy platform from the party. I haven't heard what they are going to do with Thailand.

The very people who the PAD is trying to attract are the prospective victims of the disruptive downtown demonstrations.

Everyone wants to come to the June diamond jubilee celebration with grace and dignity. We don't want to have protests in the streets.
