Good for her. The anti-government protesters are anti-democratic.

BANGKOK — Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Tuesday rejected demands by antigovernment protesters that she step aside before elections she called in response to weeks of demonstrations.
“I cannot retreat any further,” Ms. Yingluck said on national television, her voice shaking. “Please be fair to me.”
Under Thai law, Ms. Yingluck and her cabinet must serve until a new government is elected. The vote is scheduled for February.
