What precisely are the grounds for Shinawatra to resign? That wasn't clear from the links...

And...as much as I hate to say it...opebo's analysis of the Crown Prince and Princess exactly matches what I learned in a Southeast Asian Politics class back in graduate school - the Prince is unqualified and unpopular and the Princess is, well, qualified and popular.

Basically the only 'real' charges are that he is monumentally corrupt, both in terms of stealing money and in rigging elections.  What the protests amount to is the educated middle class saying they won't put up with it anymore.

Ah, OK, got it.

Yes, she's a rather appealing character.  I believe she is unmarried, which is incredibly cool.

It's her competence that might finally get that succession tradition broken...
