Thailand’s smaller political parties, most of which have just one seat in the House of Representatives, are set to petition the Constitutional Court this Friday to seek a ruling on the constitutionality of the constitutional amendment draft, which recently passed its third and final reading in parliament.

 

Dr. Ravee Matchamadol, leader of the New Palangdharma Party and a party-list MP, told the media this morning (Wednesday) that the small parties have now collected more than half of the votes needed to support their move for the interpretation of the amendments by the Constitutional Court.

 

He said that the draft is flawed because the original covered only Sections 83 and 91 of the Constitution, but Section 86 was added later for deliberation in the third reading.

Sad someone can't petition the constitutionality of the Constitutional Court itself.

Coup after coup, election after election, the Court upholds coups and nullification of election results and political opposition membership in Parliament.

Good luck with that move.

Didn't the one seaters throw their lot in with Prayut's crowd? If so, it's kind of poetic justice they're being screwed over.

For a country that treats constitutions with the reverence and respect normally reserved for toilet paper they sure now how to whine if they perceive that any changes might move them away from the trough of plenty.

they sure know how to whine if they perceive that any changes might move them away from the trough of plenty.  Nothing changers here if it does not suit the hi so mob
