Ex-charter writer insists there is only one formula to calculate party-list seats

 

 

A former constitution writer and election commissioner said today that there is only one formula for the calculation of the party-list seat allocation and that it is stipulated in the law on the election of members of parliament.

 

Mr. Praphan Naikowit, who took part in the discussion with legal advisors to the Election Commission today, explained that the formula was settled by the previous EC and it was proposed to the committee tasked with scrutinizing the MP election law.

 

He said that the former EC, of which he was a member, had already concluded what happens, when a party which wins more constituency seats than the party-list seats that it was supposed to be allocated, so the announcement of 95% of the elected MPs should be made so that the parliament can open.

But But But...

 

The former EC wasn't appointed by the Junta, so perhaps they 'didn't understand'.

 

More and more embarrassing as each day passes...

Apparently, that one formula didn't work out right.

there is only one , whatever the current ruling bunch wants it to be

There will only be one formula.

 

Unfortunately the EC are still tryimg to write it so it gives the correct result, it is called reverse engineering.

If there is only one, why doesn't tell what it is?

He meant there will only be one. When they decide how the one will be architected to support a win for the "Good People", they might share with us... ????

What was "settled?"

The current EC and previous EC seem to be using a derived formula.

That is a formula obtained from manipulating a mathematical expression to a desired result. Thus, both EC's may be using the same formula approach but with different desired results that ultimately structure the final formula.
