An anti-government demonstrator gets a massage inside the Government House compound in Bangkok September 5, 2008. A national referendum proposed by Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej to end a political crisis in Thailand was dismissed by critics on Friday as a stalling tactic that would resolve little and simply prolong the unrest. Leaders of the three-month-old campaign in Bangkok to oust Samak have already said their protests, including the 11-day occupation of the prime minister's official compound, would continue.
