Meanwhile, Kraiwan Kasemsin, chairman of the Taxi Club in Mor Chit and Don Muang, said his group would not stir up the sentiments of taxi drivers to rally like the PAD.

He said he disagreed with PAD's plan, adding the people's choice should be respected, even if it results in the PPP winning. However, he said, if the PAD disagreed with the election result and insisted on rallying against it, his group and allies were ready for clashes, he said.

"We are showing that we respect the people's voice. Why can't the PAD do the same?"

A taxi driver, who declined to be named, said most taxi drivers had posted stickers supporting the PPP because they all know it is actually the now-defunct Thai Rak Thai.

"The Thai Rak Thai government had policies that helped taxi drivers. It impressed us, so most drivers want to show that they still love Thaksin and are ready to vote for PPP," he said.

Yes and those 'policies that helped' them was to employ them to create a ruckus and be hired goons every time they needed deniability.

Have to say, since this PPP has come on the scene the election has got a lot more interesting.. If they win it will be chaotic.
