The current charter has no mechanism which would allow for the demands by protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban to create a people's council, people's government or a people's court of justice, Mr Pongthep said yesterday.
A Nida poll released yesterday on the six-point plan pushed by Mr Suthep showed that 79.09% of respondents agreed with the call for new elections free of vote-buying. More than two-thirds of those polled agreed with the protesters' call for a new "war on corruption", with no statute of limitations on graft cases. The poll questioned 1,234 people nationwide on Thursday and Friday.
