webfact Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 By Subhabhong Rarueysong BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand’s parliament has approved charter amendments to switch to using two ballots instead of one in a general election after the joint sitting of MPs and senators voted to pass the amendments during a session that began on Tuesday. The parliamentarians were called to cast their votes yesterday on a motion to endorse a key change to the amendment proposal. Under the amendments, there will be one ballot for electing a constituency MP and another for a party list MP. The amendments were drafted by a committee comprised of MPs and senators. The proposal specified nine sections in the charter for modification. The sections cover legal content which must be reviewed to accommodate the new, two-ballot election method. However, only four sections were slated for amendments, as the committee resolved to drop some sections it deemed unnecessary and which could subject its members to legal complications later. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-08-26 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner (drum roll) is military rule every 6-7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure any amendments are in their favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This benefits only Palang Pracharat and Pheua Thai. Maybe they will form the next government together and bring home Thaksin after a massive offshore payment from him. In Thai politics there are no permanent friends or foes.

Scott Tracy Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Has the committee the authority to propose changes? Has a referendum taken pl!ace about changing the constitution? Does parliament have authority to change the constitution? After all, I was under the impression that only the National Council for Peace and Order people could do that.
