John Awesome, How can I explain you about tquestions; the tradition of demonstartion? is it common?
I think, demonstrations, strikes and mob are the kind of people participation in politic. For example, you have ligitimacy to express your opinion. At the same time, if you have your friends who have ideas just as your ideas. You would become a big group which has same ideology. It is the freedom of yours. Is it right? So, in my opinion, it is really common situation in democracy world. You can see other country that people feel not okay with government's policy. People would express their opinions and probably lead to chaos. Back to red shirt and yellow shirt, In fact, both groups have middle class and lower class. But the media tried to classify each group from class. As you know, most red shirt is formed from up- country more than capital. They deeply love the former Prime Minister who allocated policies and budgets to them. Many family become small and medium enterprise and also no debts. On the other hand, people in capital can afford their life by themsleve. It is not suprise why those love and loyalty the former Prime Minister and become the red shirt all over the country. On the contrary, yellow shirt in middle class might not sure about the former Prime Minister's policies. They think that it was probably conflict of intertests or he might corrupted the budgets. They also think that he might be monopoly business. That why they protest the former Prime Minister. However, there are several yellow shirt all over the country same as the red shirt. Thank you for your interesting . I do appreciate to share ideas with you.
