<p>The Thai media has treated constitutional amendments as a politicking game and has de facto reflected a new series of battles between the post-coup Thaksin and non-Thaksin forces, according to the four-member Media Inside Out research team.</p>

<p>Hundreds of supporters of the People&rsquo;s Alliance for Democracy came out to protest against charter amendments in front of Parliament.&nbsp; Sondhi Limthongkul demanded a referendum prior to any amendments, while Praphan Koonmee said outright that he wished for a coup today, and without a coup Abhisit would never have become Prime Minister. </p>
