Commoner Party leader Lertsak Kamkongsak speaks Monday in Bangkok.

 

BANGKOK — The Commoner Party announced its policy platform Monday which would include doing away with appointed provincial governors, creating a welfare state, decriminalizing the cultivation of marijuana and decommissioning dams for solar energy.

If this party is anything like their western counterparts... Expect major tax increasement suggestions on the working class to pay for that welfare. 

 

If this party can get a few seats in Parliament that could contribute to a coalition that can defeat any pro-military parties in PM election and legislative agendas, all the power to them.
