Hi,

I'm excited to see that Japanese people are interested in Thai politics. Well, my friends in US are, too. In our country, things are more complicated. I don't think the resignation of the PM would resolve the problem. For example, the main difference in Japanese and Thai demonstrations is that, Japaneses asked for only resignation and then follows a new election. However, in our country, the protesters ask for something more than that.

It's hard to say which group of people Samak should listen to, the protesters or the rest of the people. In Japan, I guess it was pretty clear that a majority of people didn't want this PM anymore, and that's why he resigned. However, in Thailand, a larger group is still supporting him, so there is a conflict between people, too. 

I agree that Samak has done a poor job in resolving the chaos in Bangkok, but his resignation just does not solve the conflicts between people. It's a useless action actually. I am pretty sure that it will follow with the next group of protestors doing demonstration again. Then what would we do next? the next PM resign again? That would be really ridiculous.
