Hej
I dagens Bangkok Post läxar Vorani upp det demokratiska partiet och deras MP Suthep, enligt Vorani borde Suthep avgå om han tänker uppmana folk att bryta mot lagen, Suthep har tydligen hotat med att personligen leda och ta initiativ till en ockupation av "provincial hall" i hans hem provins Surat Thani, han uppmanar dessutom människor över hela landet att göra det samma, deta är enligt Vorani ett brott mot Criminal Code 364.
Vorani uppmanar Suthep att avgå och att tänka över konsekvenerna av att återigen flytta ut politiken på gatorna och bryta mot lagarna eftersom det kommer att tvinga regering, militär och myndigheter att ingripa mot dom på samma sätt som skedde med dom röda i Bangkok 2010.
Väljer ändå demokraterna och Suthep denna odemokratiska och olagliga väg får dom enligt Vorani vara beredda på att ta konsekvenserna av det också.

Members of parliament are elected officials. They are meant to represent the people in parliament. Upholding the law and working within the law, this is the duty and responsibility of the MPs who are the nation’s lawmakers.
When MPs however find they have hit a brick wall in parliament and choose street protests instead, they call into question the boundary of their duty and responsibility. They push the envelope of their democratic mandate.
Pushing the envelope is important to individuals and society. Nudge it. Shove it. Not only is it fun, it can even lead to progress. But don’t break it. If this envelop is the law, then MPs must not break the law.
Therefore, Democrat MPs (or any MPs over any issue) may hit the streets to protest over the blanket amnesty bill and the so-called Thaksin Shinawatra regime. Smack it. Spank it. However, the problem is that Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban has urged the people not only to break the law, but said he would also lead them in breaking the law.

Democrat Party MP Suthep Thaugsuban reads from a copy of a constitution during the constitutional amendment debate in September, 2013. (Bangkok Post file photo)
He has threatened to lead a sit-in at the provincial hall in his home province of Surat Thani, and urged the people to occupy provincial halls across the nation. This would be a breach of Criminal Code 364.
Street politics is street politics. At times civil movements not only push the envelope, they bust it up and break it lose. Such is the nature of things. One has to get a little crazy to force changes. This writer is all about a little insanity. But this is the prerogative of citizens, not MPs, who are supposed to be lawmakers, not lawbreakers.
Therefore, if Mr Suthep is to make real his threats, he should be accountable for his action. In this, he should resign from the parliament. After which, he can go nuts and stage a sit-in wherever he likes.
Break some criminal codes. Bust a few laws. Make your voice heard. Shake this land. Move this nation. It’s the nature of civil movements. Just do it as a private citizen, not as an MP – having said that, there’s a limit to craziness.
