"Former prime minister Banharn Silapa-archa yesterday called on the ruling Democrat Party to decide soon on what to do about dissolution of the House of Representatives and constitutional amendment, describing it as the "last chance" for solving the worsening political crisis.

He also offered to phone fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra to ask him to take part in talks with the government. Banharn said he needed "the green light" from the Democrats for him to act as a go-between.Thaksin, now in self-imposed exile, is believed to have retained his influence over the leaders of the protesting red shirts and to be a major supporter of the ongoing anti-government protests.

Banharn, speaking in his home province of Suphan Buri, urged former Democrat leaders Chuan Leekpai and Banyat Bantadtan to help Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Deputy Premier Suthep Thaugsuban by getting involved in the efforts to solve the crisis."

"The Democrat Party should come up with a clear cut road map leading to the dissolution of the House of Representatives, Charthai Pattana leader Chumpol Silpa-archa said on Wednesday morning.

Mr Chumpol, the minister of tourism and transport, said all the partners in the Democrat-led coalition government were ready to continue supporting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, but they wanted to know what would be done before dissolving the House and when.

The Chartthai Pattana leader said the Election Commission's decision to ask the Constitution Court to dissolve the Democrat Party for violating the election law would not affect the proposed charter amendments. “It was agreed earlier among the allies that only some points of the constitution would be rewritten, and that the amendments would not have retroactive effect,” Mr Chumpol said."
