  Agence France-Presse
  
  

  BANGKOK - Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej survived a no-confidence vote on Friday, mustering enough votes in parliament despite harsh criticism of his four months in power and public protests against him.
  
  

  But the outspoken 73-year-old still faces a political battle ahead, as a small but influential group of street protesters vowed to remain camped on the doorstep to Samak's office to demand his resignation.
  
  

  The premier was accused of everything from mismanaging the economy to failing to defend the revered monarchy against perceived slights.
  
  

  Most damaging were claims that he has acted on behalf of his predecessor Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 military coup which installed its own leaders until new elections brought Samak to power in February.
  
  

  In the end, Samak's six-party coalition held together, as expected. House speaker Chai Chidchob told parliament that 280 MPs had voted in support of Samak with 162 voting against.
  
  

  "Therefore Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej can continue his premiership," he said.
  
  

  The vote ended three days of heated debate which saw Samak and his cabinet grilled by opposition lawmakers, who barraged them with accusations of mishandling the government in this nation of 65 million people.
  
  

  Foremost among their accusations was that Samak, who openly campaigned for office as a proxy for Thaksin, was trying to interfere in corruption cases laid against the billionaire tycoon after he was toppled from power.
  
  

  The former premier antagonized Bangkok's elite with policies such as free health care that endeared him to the populous rural heartland, and Samak has tried with limited success to distance himself from Thaksin.
  
  

  Samak's government has also been accused of failing to handle soaring food prices, not defending the monarchy against criticism and handing control of a disputed heritage site to Cambodia.
  
  

  Finance Minister Surapong Suebwonglee, one of the officials targeted in the vote, said he believed the debate would help ease political tensions and restore confidence in Thailand.
  
  

  "The result of today's vote will make government more confident, and the prime minister and the cabinet ministers can go on working," he told reporters.
  
  

  "The debate will make show that we rely on parliament to solve our problems, and it will improve the political atmosphere," he said.
  
  

  But key partners in Samak's coalition government said they expected the premier to reshuffle key ministers to address the opposition's complaints.
  
  

  "I believe that there will be a reshuffle involving many ministers," said Banharn Silpa-archa, leader of the Chart Thai party.
  
  

  Leaders of the street protests that have rumbled through the capital for nearly five weeks said they would not call off their rallies after the debate.
  
  

  "We place no hope in parliament, and the outcome of the vote was exactly what we expected," said Chamlong Srimuang, a leader of the so-called People's Alliance for Democracy.
  
  

  The PAD led protests against Thaksin in the months before the coup, and its latest demonstrations have raised rumours of a new putsch -- fears which have hit the Thai stock market hard.
  
  

  "The government will still face protests," said political analyst Prayad Hongtongkhum. "PAD will certainly not retreat from their position that the government must leave office."
  
  

  "We are going to see a long fight in Thai politics," he added.
  
  

  PAD protesters last week set up camp outside Samak's offices. Their rallies are generally small, but they exert an outsized influence because their leadership is seen as a reflection of the traditional power centers in the palace and the military.
