The democratic system in Thailand began, conventionally speaking, since June 24, 1932 after a political movement known as the Kana Rasadorn replaced the absolute monarchy to that of a constitutional monarchy. But since 1932 up until today the country has never had a sustainable democratic political system. There have been altogether 18 constitutions and more than a score of coups d’ etat and a few mass up uprisings. At the time of this writing the country is gripped by political tension with mass protests against the care-taker government. The shutdown of Bangkok which is scheduled to be on Monday January 13, with an aim to force the care-taker government to step down and to postpone the election scheduled to be held on February 2. The demand of the protesters is to go ahead with a major political reform prior to a general election to be held later on. The government has remained adamant and is determined to go ahead with the election while on the other hand the protesters have vowed to force their way to prevent elections from taking from being held. Both sides so far have refused to yield or to compromise.
