Red Shirt Rally Day 20: Political Deadlock

The Bangkok Post reports that the negotiations between the government and the Red Shirt leadership is deadlocked. They agree on one thing: calling new elections. But they do not agree on the time line. The Red Shirts want parliament dissolved in 15 days; the government says that's too soon and recommends new elections in 9 months.

It's hard to say how this will all end. Time describes it as the "classic class struggle." Indeed, we are stuck in the modernist mode of viewing the world in terms of either/or and neither/nor.
