Though the coalition and the opposition have voiced readiness for the November 14 elections, they are both calling on the government to spell out details related to the reconciliation process.
Also attending were Banharn Silapa-Archa of Chart Thai Pattana Party, Suwit Khunkitti of Social Action Party, Newin Chidchob and Somsak Thepsuthin of the Bhum Jai Thai Party as well as Pinit Charusombat of the Puea Pandin Party.
The coalition partners suggested that Abhisit convince certain Democrats, including chief adviser Chuan Leekpai, to rally behind the road map and urged him to push for charter amendments related to the electoral system to pave the way for a snap poll.
In their opinion, the revamped electoral system was key to ending the political animosity.
The opposition Pheu Thai Party, however, voiced reservations about the road map on grounds that it lacked details and a timetable to bring about reconciliation.
Opposition MP Sanguan Pongmanee said all Abhisit had done was set an election date, but was vague on his fence-mending measures. He said he was quite sceptical about the road map, especially since some Democrats were against the dissolution of Parliament.
The opposition lawmakers will today ask the PM to explain the tangible steps that will be taken to bring about reconciliation, he said.
