Chalermchai reportedly wants the leadership for either himself or his protégé, so he can lead the party to join the Pheu Thai coalition.
However, the other side wants the post to be taken by Abhisit, who is respected for his democratic principles and his willingness to “break” rather than “bend”, who will never join Pheu Thai in a coalition government.
Asked about their opinions if the Democrat Party joins the Pheu Thai coalition, the responses were:
44.96%: Totally disagree
19.54%: Completely agree
18.70%: Rather agree
16.18%: Quite disagree

31.91%: Voted earlier but not on May 14
9.31%: Always voted for the Democrat Party
0.15%: Not exercised voting right.
