Thailand's Constitutional Court Dissolves 111 Parties Since 1997
MikeandDow replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As evidenced by the last election, populist policies will no longer be enough to appease voters. The spectre looming in the background is what has been voiced by the disenfranchised 14 million voters that chose the now-dissolved Move Forward Party: constitutional reform – in particular, institutional reform. Yes, the judiciary plays an important role. They should be independent and unelected, not necessarily entirely answerable to the people. But this is exactly why its powers should be clearly delimited. There should be clearer separation of powers, checked and balanced with the other branches of government. In this sense, their powers of interpretation should not be tantamount to judicial coups. With the judicial interference in the democratic legislative process through overly broad interpretations – from holding that a mere proposal to amend section 112 of the Criminal Code is grounds for banning people from politics to this current case – the Constitutional Court has toppled more than enough democratically elected leaders on questionable grounds. And this is just a microcosm of how the powers that be make a mockery of the highest, supposedly elected, office in the country. All this points to one thing: the case for constitutional reform remains stronger than ever. If anything, the Constitutional Court’s verdict is a reminder that reform is a real, relevant and recurrent issue not to be swept under the rug of populist discourse. The office of the prime minister should hold more meaning than what the unelected institutions, including the Constitutional Court and the Election Commission, are giving it. Such reform cannot be excluded from the national agenda forever. If Thailand wants to show that it is truly open for business, it’s going to take more than cash handouts. It’s going to mean taking a long, hard look at our country, strengthening the rule of law, and building strong, robust, and accountable institutions. This is the precondition for development. -

you are dreaming Referencing Section 67 of the Corrections Act 2017, this certificate is not merely a piece of paper—it’s a formal attestation that the individual has been legally discharged and granted the liberty to travel abroad. that is all, he still has a criminal record and is classed as convicted Felon in the eyes of Thai law

And the other one Chada the gangster, Why place a police officer in charge of the Ministry of Education, an inexperienced person in charge of environmental issues, or someone with ties to organized crime in positions meant to combat such activities. Individuals with a history of criminal activity should also be excluded from government roles to maintain public trust. -
