When will Thai PM Somchai Wongsawat resign?
Regardless of whether we count being ousted as resigning or not, this question should have suspended at the end of November. "December or later" is the correct option as of midnight Dec 1 in Thailand because he did not resign in any of the other option months.
Background:
In the first two situations the to be deposed PM repeatedly said he would not leave and bow into pressure but subsequently left or was forced out. Now once again the third PM in the last year and a half is saying he won't bow into public pressure and leave.
I'm detecting a pattern here.....
The most recent political protests to oust the third PM have left many injured and are mainly caused by the fact that the third PM is related by marriage to the first deposed PM. The entire situation is playing out like an episode of General Hospital instead of a diplomatic political process. Now even the military has been brought in, and oddly enough the top army general is voicing support for the protesters as had been the case with the first two deposed PM's.
If I was a 'betting man' I'd say the next thing to happen is the fourth PM is related to the second PM by way of the third PM's mistress.
