Should Thaksin Shinawatra resign?

Protests have been continuing regularly for quite some time. Thaksin has agreed to early elections (April 2) but has said he will not resign.

But I say yes. Time for the bastard to go. He's like the worst parts of Berlusconi and Bush put together.

oh, and here's another interesting development.

What do you think will happen in the April 2 elections? Could they bring him down or just be more of the same due to massive fraud? I read that international observers think as that possibly as much as 10% of Thaksin's votes were fraudulent.

The opposition parties are considering boycotting the election too. Might be a good strategy if it makes Thaksin appear less legimiate, that increases the chances of a coup or the King sacking him in some way.
