re: "Democrats 'may back regime'" (BP, October 10)
Dear editor,
The problem when "Mr Abhisit insisted that the party under his leadership would not support dictatorship," is that supporting dictatorship is exactly what the Democrat Party under his watch did in the lead up to the 2014 coup that overthrew Thailand's form of democratic constitutional government. Under Mr. Abhisit's leadership, his party has earned its international reputation as being "hilariously misnamed" (Time, November 2013). Either Mr. Abhisit fails to accurately state his own leanings, or he is a wash out as leader, having spectacularly failed to lead his party to respect anything like democracy, democratic values or democratic process.
