It is a well-observed piece; sharply cut at the right spot at the current situation of the madness of Thai politics. I had to read this post twice.

Beat them with their own weapons. Especially K. Jakrapob with his spinning politics (no airtime for opposition, etc.). Of course Khun Wisekwai above is also right that the Democrats should not forget to find solutions for the country, and this is actually what they are (have been) doing all along since they started working as a "shadow government". They have proposed more solutions (motions, etc.) than the coalition government who so far failed to bring up any groundbreaking mid- to long-term solutions/ideas for to the country. The problem is Thaksin never plans (planned) longer than a few months (short-term) ahead. Thailand needs a sustainable mid- to long-term PM and government, and maybe the Democrats play that clever waiting game now. Wishing Khun Abhisit & Democrats good luck! But don't forget to please/convince the countryside, or else you never get those so badly needed votes.
