         If an illegitimate Junta government can re-write rules and the constitution, then an legitimate democratic elected government has every right to do the same, but legally, Just need to add a new clause that military interference in political issues would be a treasonable offence. Then maybe the outside world would be more inclined to intervene if the military again do interfere.

[candide]

The plan is not a plan. It's a sword of Damocles over following governments. It allows to oust any government the Junta extensions (National strategy committee, Senate...) may not like.

A bit early, I would've thought this would come after the elections, with a "or else" added, preferably while holding an assault rifle. Elections are useless when the system is rigged.

Am I mistaken or was the PM in Stingray as Troy Tempest, I know Troy was only a captain but it was the 60's.

The Prime Minister underlined that the constitution clearly mandates governments to implement the national strategy and the reform plan.

Doesn't this mean he "undermined" the constitution and the replaced it? Just like any other following government is likely to do to his as they implement what they think will be best for Thailand. It's sorta what they do...it's sorta what they are supposed to explain as they campaign and then the citizenry should be deciding if the candidates vision parallels theirs.

Then it is neither democratic or free.  Easy, change the Constitution-it’s overdue for a re-writing anyway

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I doesn't matter what government you vote in, nothing changes.  The military/junta and the 100% appointed senate (50 of which are appointed by the NCPO) will always retain control.  Even the next PM is appointed and doesn't need to be attached to any party which means the public has no say in the matter.

 

As someone said.  "What is the point of an election?"

Who is he to pontificate future governments policies and plans. The arrogance is stunning! Sheesh.

Almost (un)amendable

It will require 1/3 of senate votes in the 1st and 3rd readings together with at least 20% MPs from each opposition party and also the approval from the President and Deputy President of Parliament to amend the constitution. A public referendum is required to amend certain sections.

Or the next government could just declare all acts of the 'coup' unlawful and bin the lot.

Then shoot all the coup leaders and their families.

IMHO we should wait for the detail plans of the National Strategy. As the saying goes, devil in the details. The key strategies are quite generic and relevant. The strategies are based on security, competitiveness enhancements, human resource development, creation of opportunities and social equality, environmentally friendly growth and public sector re-adjustments. 

 

With the election just 3 months away ( fingers crossed), the direction of the strategic plans may reflect those in power; not necessarily the NCPO ( again keeping my fingers croased).

Written by/for the ruling elite, in one form or another. 

 

Oligarchical based Constitutions of Laws and Progressive Democratic state reforms are clearly contradictory.

As if you didn’t know any forthcoming so called “election” is meaningless
