The Thai military succeeded in ousting Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra not because of the weakness of the parliamentary system, but because Thais have a "militaristic culture" that allows coups as a means of changing the government, the head of a government agency advocating Charter change said yesterday.


Lito Monico, Charter Change Advocacy Commission chairman, said Thais tend to favor military rule over civilian governments so the parliamentary system should not be blamed for the political crisis in that country.
