BANGKOK, Thailand - Embattled Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said Tuesday he would step down because of his party's disappointing showing in national elections. "I am sorry that I will not accept the premier post," Thaksin told a nationally televised news conference. He added that he will remain in office until a replacement is selected.

Wow! even he won the election he will not accept his victory. If only other will follow

hindi lang sa pinas... it would be very hard for him kaya he'll not accept it... its for his own interest din...

with his resignation....all i can say is....thailand's political system and the mindset of their politicians has gone matured....what does this mean? thailand will most likely let us eat more dust when it comes to economic performance...

eh sa pinas? di lang pakapalan ng mukha...lahat gagawin para lang di maalis sa pwesto.

sana maiinggit si GMA kay Thaksin...

For sure, bulusok ang economy nila!

If so, laki utang na loob nila kay Thaksin. Hero pa siya pag nagkataon.

You are absolutely right, sir explorer.

Buysit na Thailand na yan, hirap mag-compete sa kanila... dati pinagtatawanan lang natin...

hindi mangyayari sa pinas yan, huli na nga sa akto, ayaw pang umamin...

saka dito lahat ng tao gusto maging presidente, lahat sinasabi gusto nilang silbihan ang bayan, pero pag nakaupo na, bulsa lang nila ang inaatupag... tsk tsk tsk...

Thailand's political system is very different from ours since the King (which is considered a demi-God among Thai people) still wields a considerable clout over what should happen in that country.

Seems that this thread will just be filled with those "sila magaling tayo hindi" rants.

Well we do have the Catholic Church, but that shouldn't have to do with any politics in the first place anyway.

And no, this isn't a "sila magaling tayo hindi" comment.
