Job market: Who lasts longer, Prime Minister Abhisit or President Saakashvili?
Background: On April 8, 2009, an estimated 100,000 protestors gathered in Bangkok, Thailand, to demand the resignations of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and a key advisor to King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The protestors were supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was overthrown in a 2006 military coup.
Meanwhile, Georgian protestors demanded the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili on April 9, 2009, in Tbilisi. Opposition speakers have denounced Saakashvili as a tyrant and said that he mishandled the recent war with Russia. Crowd estimates range from no more than 25,000 to more than 100,000.
Neither the Georgian or Thai governments have used violence to end the protests.
This question asks who will remain in their current job longer.
