Push for a republic a pipe dreamLast Friday, the Free Youth group, which is an integral part of the anti-establishment Ratsadon group, posted a message on the subject of the republic on its Facebook page. The group explained that a republic, a state in which the masses are the boss of the government, is a predominant form of governance worldwide. It emphasises the decentralisation of power, with rulers coming from free and fair elections -- not determined by bloodlines. In it, the group said, there are no blue bloods, in fact, no blood colour other than red. In other words, the senators are no better than Rung, given their little understanding of the monarchy and the roots of political conflict here.
