We have to accept the fact that our democracy cannot be sustainable if the people's sector is not strong. In Thailand, we need a vibrant civil society to articulate interests of the common people and fight for them. In the past we had a powerful bureaucracy and now the business sector has replaced it as a leading political force. But civil society or the people's sector is still weak. There are several non-government organizations or NGOs and professional groups participating in the political processes, but they are far from being powerful political forces. There are not only the 'yellow' and 'red' shirt movements. There is a so-called silent majority who want our democracy to work effectively without violence or instability. This is the people's sector that needs to be strengthened.
