Abhisit's 'special treatment' at forum upsets other participants
This was a good opportunity to address issues and discern the differences among the parties but because of arrogance and lack of respect that the Democrats show for other parties, coupled with the petty bickering and whinging displayed by the other parties in response, here was another fail attempt at open political discussion.

Maybe Thaksin doesn't have such a firm handle on his sister.

This hardly constitutes a move toward reconciliation.  Just more political grandstanding and provocations by the major parties.

There are many good points raised in this article and maybe a key to finding a solution, but are the politicians willing to take the necessary steps to addressing the real issues here.

It is good that this does not end up being a war of words but pursuing legal action is more or less the same thing. Better to move on and focus on the issues.

Don't rule out possibility of a third candidate for Thai PM

Rally 'not just to woo voters'
Let's hope that there is some sincerity in this obviously political stunt.  If this is the case then it should not have been advertised as a political rally but an open forum with invitations to the other party to participate.  I know they want to look like they are taking the high road but from all the political rhetoric of late, this appears to be more of the same.  I will try and keep an open mind and hope for the best.
