THai Election

[Huckenfell]

How can a man who planned and led an illegal military coup against the Thai government, leading to a dictatorial government, now be allowed to stand for office in the upcoming government elections.

Criminals in high places have a knack for avoiding jail in these parts.

Yes the coup was illegal, and nation wide martial law was an other illegal act that violated the constitution (punishable by life in prison or death). But there is this little thing of throwing out said constitution,  pardoning oneself and writing a new one. Under his own rules what the general did is perfectly fine. 

 

I do wonder though what he would think about shredding the constitution and undoing the self-pardon. The constitution explicitly prevents this but these things aren't worth much in LOS...
