Only then will the 2 houses combine to vote. Stand corrected. Anyone? Yes, the Senate. The 74 non-elected/appointed members out of the 150. Wonder which way they'll vote? This of course is a rhetorical question. I've said earlier today it doesn't matter. Prayut and his military cronies and non elected elite are here to stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently for the first five years the senate would have 250 members, all of which appointed by the NCPO. Under a provisional clause, all 250 members of the first senate will be chosen by a selection committee itself handpicked by the junta, and six seats in the upper house are reserved for four top military commanders, the police chief, and the permanent secretary of the Defence Ministry.

They want to rig this without it seeming rigged. This reminds me, no, is the same as Myanmar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"better than a conman". Really? I'd say there's a fair bit of conning going on right now, or don't you read the news? If an election happens next year as proposed, that will be nearly 5 years of absolute authority, which is much more than any elected PM could possibly hope for. He's doing very well wouldn't you think? Edited March 13, 2018 by tropo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as he's reminded us, he can do whatever he wants. There is a word for this form of government that starts with D, and it's not Democracy. The writing is on the wall, this guy is here to stay for many years to come. A very sad turn of events for what could be such a great country. So what ever really changes in LoS, other than the skyline ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngsters who should be in their home country saving enough money to retire comfortably here later on in life, or those who are Teachers, Border Hoppers, Digital Nomads, or E Beggars on You Tube.

I'm one of those exceptions, and we are more than a few. I have made a number of Thai friends and care enough about their future and country to want real democracy for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
