I can only assume that since they were extremely effective in halting Thailand's economy by laying siege to the airports that they will resort to the same desperate measure next time. It is an insidious political power struggle at the core. Additionally, PAD protesters are claiming in the latest reports that if ALL members of the cabinet ministry are not removed, they’ll be back.

I have read that these sit-ins will cost around 1 million jobs, this has impacted the poor to middle class in a fundamental way.

I think a lot of people don't realise what an insidious organisation the PAD actually is. They represent the forces of reaction rather than progress. Interestingly, they have cost the country much more money than any of Thaksin's corrupt practices. They've temporarily crippled a major section of Thailand's economy. And they don't seem to care about this, which, in my opinion, is clear eveidence that this is a power struggle and is nothing to do with how corrupt or uncorrupt a particular party is. That's just a front or excuse for action. tropicalrob Nicely stated. I think a lot of people don’t realise what an insidious organisation the PAD actually is.
