The prime minister of Thailand has rejected an ultimatum from anti-government protesters to call snap elections. How can the political crisis be resolved?
Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters have gathered outside a military barracks in Bangkok, where the country's prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva is staying.
The demonstrators want him to resign and call new elections, but he's rejected their demands. Many of the protestors support former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 for alleged corruption and abuse of
power.
Are you in Thailand? Who do you think will win the battle of wills: the government, or the protestors? How can Thailand's political deadlock be resolved?
