Poll: Charter change unrest a risk

Nearly 70% of people surveyed are concerned that a move to rewrite the 2007 constitution could lead to political violence, Suan Dusit Poll said on Saturday.

The pollsters at Suan Dusit Rajabhat University surveyed 1,022 people in Bangkok and nearby provinces, seeking their opinions on constitutional amendments, from Dec 4-7.

Asked whether they thought a move to change the charter could trigger unrest, 69.34% of the respondents said yes, because it was an important issue and differences of opinion in the past had led to political conflict and violence, Suan Dusit Poll reported.

    Wouldn't be nice if we had a government that recognised it was put in power by a poll and should therefore do the right thing in a democracy and make decisions according to survey polls like this.

    Yeah... but it's just a poll.
    And we KNOW that the Red Shirt Lovers on here will dismiss this one because it goes against their team.
    Just wait until the next one that props up one of their points of view - they'll kneel down and kiss the feet of that one.
