snoop1130 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Political restrictions to be lifted when law passes: Prawit By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan All the restrictions limiting activities by political parties will be lifted as soon as the new electoral law is enacted, a key junta figure said on Friday. Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said that two last organic laws required by the Constitution before a new election can be held – the laws on MP elections and the Senate structure – have yet to be enacted. “The unlocking [of the political restrictions] will be done immediately after the two laws are passed,” Prawit said. “Only these two laws prevent the ending of political restrictions,” he said. “The laws are not in effect yet so we can’t do anything.” He added that what the government could do now was to relax the political restrictions and not completely lift them. Prawit said the next general election would be held in February next year. He was asked if the government was worried that lifting of political restrictions would lead to a return of street protests. Prawit said: “We do not fear that. We follow the law. There should be no problem.” The deputy PM said it was likely that a meeting between political parties and the National Council for Peace and Order would be held late this month, although no date has been set. Prawit said he has been assigned by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to attend the meeting on the junta’s behalf.

BigBadGeordie Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) "The Party did not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in the mass were frail cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better. That the party was the eternal guardian of the weak, a dedicated sect doing evil that good might come, sacrificing its own happiness to that of others. " George Orwell 1984 "The land will be good soon Let us return happiness to you, the people Today, we will be tired [because of our mission], we know We offer to fight the danger Lives of soldiers will not surrender This is our promise" Return Happiness to Thailand.
