[webfact]

 

Former election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn has predicted that there is only a slim chance that the People’s Constitution draft, scheduled to be debated in a joint session of parliament on Tuesday, will be approved by the majority of the appointed senators.

 

According to the existing Constitution, the amendments draft will require the support of more than half of the legislators inthe two houses, including at least 84 senators.

 

The draft was proposed by reformist groups, including “Re-Solution” and iLaw, and was signed by more than 150,000 people.

Slim as in graphene thin......not a snowball's chance in hell.

Haven’t these folks worked out that senate doesn’t exist to benefit Thailand in any way, it exists solely to benefit the people who appointed them and those people only have two key functions: to retain control forever and to ensure that any wealth the nation generates flows upwards forever. 

 

Nothing else matters at all.

A foregone conclusion, senators were "appointed" for a reason.

Not a chance. They're all doing too well as things stand.

Indeed.

As it's all about the people. 

Of course it is.

Precisely! The reason why they could promise no more coups.
