Former Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej never backed down to the protest made by the opposition that even halted the nation. He was however forced to step down when the constitutional court ruled that he violated the law for hosting a TV cooking show. Hosting a TV cookery show the court said means that he is working for a private company.
This is the beauty of having a parliamentary system of government. The prime minister can be removed not with the dramatic street protest, coup de etat or impeachment move. All they have to do is to have a vote of confidence / no confidence and wallah! The nation will never suffer from destructive and disrupted opposition politicians.
This is precisely the reason why the Philippines should amend it’s ageing charter so we can move forward.
