Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has revealed her roadmap for reforming Thailand. She continues to focus on a general election on February 2, 2014, and has asked all parties to delay reform until after this election. According to Yingluck, the government will set up a post-election National Reform Council for 2 years. Once both sides agree on all issues, the government will disperse the National Assembly and conduct a new election. However, the protest movement led by former Member of Parliament of the Democratic Party, Suthep Thaugsuban, says they will not accept this plan and vow to prevent the election. The protestors’ plan is to force the Prime Minister to resign and to elect a People’s National Assembly led by a new Prime Minister.
