Thai PM says coalition not impossible

BANGKOK, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- A chance for the Democrat party and the opposition Puea Thai party to form a coalition government is impossible, Thai Prime Minister and Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Wednesday.

The Democrat party's stance is firm as its MPs are ready to continue working, Abhsit was quoted as saying by Thai language news agency INN.

"People should not link the rumors about a Democrat spokesman meeting opposition members and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban's statement that he is ready to talk with ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra," Abhisit said, the website by Bangkok Post reported.

However, it is normal for the members in the coalition government to disagree, he added.

There would not be a coalition government comprising the Democrat and Puea Thai parties, Deputy Prime Minister and Democrat secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban echoed Abhisit's remark.
