keep the discussion civil !!!! yes it was conducted under a military junta let me ask you a question when you go and vote do you take note of the campaigning or do you do your own research i know i do listen to the campaigning if there is any BUT i do my own research and the question was do you accept the constitution or not simple yes or no it was accepted by the people end of story you can cry about it all you want but it was by the people

it was still accepted by the people i agree it was a con job why did All the people not say no !! democracy is fought for, the problem is the thai people dont care !! its the attitude of i am alright jack and bugger the rest, that is why the system is a mess and they got what they voted for, and i have no sympathy for people as you said (many voters did not know what was actually in the constitution) they should have found out what they are voting for NOT be like sheep, and by the way in a referendum the people did have a choice YES or NO

thats not the point it was elected by the people the people accepted it and its the people to blame Quote Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has revealed that he has a "back-up plan" if the draft constitution is shot down in the Aug 7 referendum while the Democrat Party leader has pressed for details of an alternative if the draft fails. Gen Prayut said he previously had made it clear he would have a new charter drawn up if the draft prepared by the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC), led by Meechai Ruchupan, fails in the referendum. He said several previous charters do not differ much in essence, and he has already set up a working panel to study past charters and use their positive features to create a new charter should the Meechai version be rejected. "If the draft constitution does not pass, a new one has to be written," Gen Prayut said. The general election cannot be held without a constitution, and the poll can proceed only if the country is free of unrest and violence, the prime minister said. "The public must be free to vote and I cannot force them to accept or reject," Gen Prayut said. He also said those who were campaigning against the draft charter were not "acting of their own free will" and were giving distorted information.

The Thai constitution was voted in by the people

What a stupid statement "THailand is a functioning democracy run by the military" you living in the past payuet is gone as for the present there is no evidence the military is running democracy all supposition on your part
