A rally by thousands of protesters outside the Thai parliament building forced the government to delay Prime Minister Abhisit's first policy address.

The protesters were dressed in red and were loyal supporters of the previous premier. The protesters carried sign boards outside thailands paliarment building refusing to go away unless Mr. Abhisit resigns.

The government says that they have no choice but to delay the meeting while the authoroties negotiated with the protesters' leader. One of the protesters had stated their reasons for protesting. They said that they wanted Mr. Abhisit to step down because he has no legitimacy.

OPINIONS: Mr. Abhisit should probrably apologise or pledge like he will do something or become more legitimate. It is also the protesters fault as they should respect the country's decision. They must give Mr. Abhisit time to show that he is a capable leader. He has not even been on the job for a year and i simply cannot understand how they know that Mr. Abhisit is not as capable as the old premier.

Recently, thailand's economic didn't drop greatly just because Mr. Abhisit didn't know how to control the government.And I believe since the paliarment people picked him, he should be capable of doing his job well.
