Political parties join hands to demand EC to change controversial ballots

 

 

Seven political parties have demanded the Election Commission to change its poll ballot format to include the names and logos of political parties and to allow each party to use the same number for all its candidates in the 350 election constituencies.

 

Representatives of the seven parties and their people’s networks submitted their joint statement at the EC’s head office with Somkiart Kongdee, director of the Office of the EC’s Affairs.

 

Their statement also demanded the National Council for Peace and Order to stop interfering with the work of the EC, directly or indirectly.

Yeah good luck with that.

 

Perhaps those 7 parties might consider forming a coalition against the junta as they appear to have at least one thing in common.

Ah Democracy at its Best!!

In an EC update the EC will now delete all candidate names from the ballot and just require a single "X" for a yes or no vote.

After all ballots are received and polls closed, the EC will announce election winners.

Don't expect any sort of collective unification any time soon.

 

There's no ethical boundary involved - all about self serving towards their own particular establishment.

 

All, has little to do with the betterment of the country or it's people. 

 

A plague on all their houses.

When anything can get these people to be saying the something there is likely a real problem. On the other hand, based on the quote above, they may be just dreamers.
