rooster59 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Article 270 versus national government Over the past few days, calls for a “national government” have grown, but so are a group of constitutional interpreters who believe that writers of Thailand’s new charter had anticipated problems of a “minority” administration and thus sneaked in ways to tackle them. The constitutional interpreters are pointing at Article 270 of the charter which states that laws associated with “national reform” have to be provisionally passed by a joint House-Senate deliberation. It’s the same provisional authority as the Senate’s power to vote alongside the House of Representatives on the selection of the first post-election prime minister. The powers were given to the first Senate virtually installed by the military.

Srikcir Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 If the constitution reflected real representative democracy it wouldn't have Article 270 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of time and an insult to ones intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy 4680 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thais must of seen the new constitution as a total falacy when it was drafted by the Military, and in every way was anti Thai for the Thai people, I can't believe the stupidity of the Junta getting a single vote in the earlier Election. So, are Thais really that stupid, or the EC that crooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
