It has been a couple of weeks since People’s Alliance for Democracy took control over the airport to protest against the current Thailand government, which is accused of rigging the last national election. The Constitutional Court of Thailand just ruled in favor of the People’s Alliance for Democracy by effectively dissolving the current ruling government and banning at least one partners to the current ruling coalition.

Of course, there were protests against the court’s decision by the pro-government protesters, but based on the media coverage (Which sometimes tends to be biased at times) the People’s Alliance for Democracy seems to have won the battle.

The anti-government protesters said that they will leave the airport, which should help stranded tourists fly out of the country as soon as possible. The shutting down of the airport caused a hefty economic damage and tourist prestige to a country that depends heavily on tourism and international trade, but things could have been worse; if protesters and the police clashed with violence, then it would have caused more instability in the country and thus a more chaotic situation.

There would probably be a new election soon, but I am curious to know on how that election will be different, because it seems that the People’s Alliance for Democracy have no confidence in direct democracy at all (With all the “uneducated” rural majority participating – This is not my opinion but theirs)
