A group of Democrat MPs has submitted a motion to the House of Representatives calling for the establishment of an extraordinary House committee to study problems with the 2017 Constitution and ways in which it could be amended to make the supreme law less rigid and open to further amendment.

 

Mr. Thepthai Senpong, an MP for Nakhon Si Thammarat who initiated the motion which was seconded by 24 other MPs, said that the initiative was in line with the government’s policy, as stated in parliament, that the charter has posed problems in practice and needs to be amended.

 

He went on to say that it is the policy of the Democrat party to make the Constitution open to amendment, adding that how the charter could be amended would depend on the extraordinary committee, which is yet to be set up.

Yet another constitution. This is number twenty.

I flippantly thought it was almost like one every leap year.

Then I worked it out - it averages out as one every four and a quarter years, from 1932 to 2017.
