- People's_Democratic_Reform_Committee abstract "The People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) or People's Committee for Absolute Democracy with the King as Head of State (Thai: คณะกรรมการประชาชนเพื่อการเปลี่ยนแปลงประเทศไทยให้เป็นประชาธิปไตยที่สมบูรณ์ อันมีพระมหากษัตริย์ทรงเป็นประมุข, กปปส.) is an umbrella political pressure group in Thailand, aimed at removing the influence of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra from Thai politics and creating an unelected 'People's Council' to oversee political reforms. The group has played a leading role in the 2013–14 Thai political crisis, organising large-scale protests within Bangkok.The group was formed on 29 November 2013 by protest leader and former Democrat Party MP Suthep Thaugsuban, who appointed himself as secretary-general. and some minor members of the royal family. The movement is supported by various organisations including the Democrat Party, the People's Alliance for Democracy (a coalition of opposition to Thaksin), student activist groups, state worker's unions, pro-military groups. The PDRC's support stems mostly from affluent Bangkokians and Southerners. Whistle-blowing is a central symbol of the protests.By accusing the government of lacking any legitimacy, protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban announced the intention of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee to take back sovereign power from the government to the people who will proceed with national reform through a non elected royalist council to said Suthep "eradicate" what he call the "Thaksin regime". "Acting as a legislative body, the council will amend laws and regulations, as well as carry out a reform plan in the country" Suthep Thaugsuban said. He also explained the council would have 400 members, 300 of whom will be representatives from various professions. The remaining 100 will be selected by the PDRC from scholars and well-respected senior citizens.The PDRC ultimate goal is to have the prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to resign as the caretaker head of government in order to allow a power vacuum then invoke article 3 of the 2007 Constitution:" The sovereign power belongs to the Thai people. The King as Head of the State shall exercise such power through the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers and the Courts in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution" and article 7 which says "that when no part of the document seems to apply to the situation, the country should follow conventional democratic practice". Since the country has been ruled by appointed prime ministers before, this would allow the head of the senate to appoint a new premier.".
