Samak Wins Confidence of Senate


PM Samak easily withstood the opposition’s call of no-confidence, as his coalition-led Senate polled 280-162 for the wily politician although protest will continue against his government in the months to come. These demonstrations will amount to little since the army has vowed to remain in the barracks and nnone of the poitcal parties are willing to hold an expensive elecgtion process, so Samak’s departure from office will probably be at the behest of his own party and, until Thaksin is cleared of his corruption charges, the PPP and its base will be happy with old Red Nose or ja-mook champoo staying in Governement House.
