Gov't should dissolve House to ease tension: academic
The government should push ahead with the political reform within for 50 days before dissolving the House to pave way for the elections, King Prachadhipok's Institute political scientist Pornchai Theppanya said on Thursday.
Pornchai urged the government to step down in order to overcome the political impasse triggered by the red-shirt crowd.
He said he would not comment on the demand for privy councillors to quit, arguing he could offer his idea on what was deemed within reason for the government to review and comply.
He reminded the Democrats that they once called for two governments under Samak Sundaravej and Somchai Wongsawat to quit under similar circumstances.
