Govt, PM not looking at the big picture

The fact that the red-shirted protest is being labelled by the government as an anti-monarchy movement is an indicator that the ruling Democrat Party and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva merely want to play a political game to disperse the protesters.
They are not, however, looking at the whole picture with a view to solving the country´s crisis.
The government is consistently campaigning on the monarchy issue against the anti-government group, and has urged coalition parties as well as provincial governors to help spread the word across the country.
Abhisit is under pressure from all directions to take tougher action...
