Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced Monday night on TV that he will hold the next election on November 14 if his roadmap to solve the political problems is not interrupted.
He said the road map has five elements as following:
1) All parties concerned must join forces to uphold the monarchy.

As part of the process, the government will provide good social welfare, education, health etc, as well as other things to people suffering from other plights.
3) The government will ensure that the media will function as a constructive tool.
4) The government will set up an independent committee to investigate the deaths and injuries in clashes between troops, police and protesters on April 10, at Silom and on Vibhavadi Road.
5) The government will take actions to study the public feelings of injustice regarding to political system, especially after what happened over last few years, and try to solve the problems.
The prime minister said he would like to invite all Thais join the reconciliation process.
"This process can't succeed without cooperation from all groups of Thai society," the prime minister said.
"I'm confident that we can bring back peace. It will not take too long if the process is allowed to take place peacefully."
He also addressed the red-shirt protesters, saying: "I have heard you fully. I just can't accept the 15-day House dissolution demand."
"But I'm confident this process will solve your problems. It has answers to your problems.
The prime minister said even if the red shirts reject the reconciliation process, the government will still try to carry it out.
The prime minister also told the multicoured group that the road map has been compiled with inputs from several graoups.
"I have listened to many groups of people and decided that this process is the best solution to our problem," the prime minister said.
