However, it does not seem that the Yingluck Shinawatra's idea of reform council will work because the protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, a former deputy prime minister, has already said he will not accept the idea of a reform council. The protesters led by Suthep Thaugsuban have been endeavoring to overthrow the government of Yingluck Shinawatra since last month, accusing her of being a proxy of former premier and her elder brother Thaksin Shinawatra, who was toppled by a 2006 military coup and has been lives in self-imposed exile to avoid jail time for a corruption conviction. Suthep Thaugsuban has also vowed to disrupt the upcoming elections scheduled to be held on February 2 and appears to be aiming to create such chaos that Yingluck Shinawatra will have to resign.
