Abhsit was referring to the conflicting signals from the Pheu Thai Party. While Chalerm Yoobamrung, a leading Pheu Thai, member declared the party would not support the charter amendments, the Pheu Thai whips said the party would still support the process.

"I see no reason to go on if both the People's Alliance for Democracy and the opposition are opposed to charter amendments. In that case, why should we go on?" the prime minister said when a reporter asked if the coalition and Senate have enough votes to pass the charter amendments.

He said if all sides not agree on the amendments, the government would abort the process.

"We plan to do all these so that all sides could reach an agreement. If the amendments lead to conflicts, we won't do it," the prime minister added.

He said the government would not hold a referendum to let the people choose between the 1997 and the 2007 charters as proposed by the Pheu Thai because such referendum would further delay the amendment process.

He added that the 1997 charter was problematic, leading to the enactment of the 2007 charter.
