Millions? How can that be? The protests this time around were relatively small - and of the protesters that did attend, some/many were paid. Even in places such as Pattaya protests consisted of 1-2 pick-up trucks that would circle beach road every so often with 4-5 people in back.

Grassroots? (see above)
No dictator? I disagree. It is about three wannabe dictators.
One who can't win an election. ("a people's council nominated by... me!")
One Army general ("no elections for at least one year. I make all decisions until then.")
And one who is in self imposed exile after the last coup.
So pick your party... or pick none... and you can find "your" guy who wants absolute power.

Unless they change how elections are held, I agree, the reds will surely win again.
