World: Thailand PM’s best plan to calm Red Shirts: Early elections
- After Saturday, it may not be enough, though. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who’s been feeling lots of pressure of late thanks to the Red Shirts, is considering moving the parliamentary elections up three months in a bid to save his job. Unfortunately for him, the Red Shirts are in no mood to negotiate, after 21 people were killed and hundreds were injured in the violent protests on Saturday. “We don’t negotiate with murderers,” said Red Shirt leader Weng Tojirakarn. “We have to keep fighting.” source
