Thai PM Abhisit prefers early dissolution of House

Thai Prime Minister believes an election in the first half of the year will show he is not clinging to power

The dissolution of the House, should it go ahead early, should be done in the first half of the year, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva predicts his party will win the largest number of seats in its history at the next election.

He believes his Democrat Party will secure a record number of seats at the next election, whenever it is held.

”A dissolution of the House in the first half of next year is better than the second,” he told the Bangkok Post in an exclusive interview as 2010 drew to a close.

”A late dissolution will make some people feel the government wants to stay on in power until the end of its term in office. I don’t want things to turn out that way.
