Meechai believes new parties offer new alternative for voters

By Thai PBS

 

 

New political parties will offer more options for the voters, but whether they will succeed in attracting their votes or not will depend on their policy platforms and the quality of the new politicians, said Mr Meechai Ruchupan, chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee, on Sunday.

 

Claiming that people have changed a lot and that many of them have not attached importance to veteran politicians, he said he believed voters would look for the quality and reputation of the candidates and, for that matter, he expected to see something new emerging in the upcoming election.

 

Pointing out at a new method of balloting that there will be one single ballot to be casted, he said that voters would have to think twice before casting their ballots.

beat me about the head with the blatantly obvious; this guy has done enough damage, just fade away

All the talk and angling so far is about the appointing a PM, one who would not have to debate and stand scrutiny which might lead to another coward running the country.

None of which applies to an unelected PM.

What Meechai is trying to say is that he and his committee have worked very hard to ensure that the votes will be evenly split allowing Uncle to retain the position of PM as an unelected, non-partial, candidate because there will be so little time to campaign and enough parties to split the vote by design.
