Srikcir Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 If the Constitutional Court makes an unconstitutional decision, currently it can't be held accountable. Impeachment of its judges requires in part a vote of 3/5ths of the Senate currently appointed by the then NCPO (aka junta) and controlled by a pro-military coalition including active duty/retired military and police. "Thai-styled" democracy in plain view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The constitution was specifically written by by the Junta. Get rid of it and the completely illigitimate government. Bunch of aging Tyrant's ruining the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovinman Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 "he claims that his first term, under the Interim 2014 Constitution (B.E. 2557) expired along with the replacement of the interim charter by the 2017 Constitution." Surely therefore, he served his First term, which then expired. And the second term of 4 years began in 2017 ! Therefore, that second term of 4 years, should expire in 2021 ? Or is my Maths, not up to it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisY1 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 If Prayut says it is time for him to go...then he won't! If the CC says he must go, he probably still won't go....however, I doubt the CC would say that....just get the stamp and it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 He just does not have a clue. Cha Cha is so wrapped up in his own world, he is so self absorbed, he does not see that he is hated, disapproved of and not needed or wanted. The destruction is enough. We do not need you to decimate Thailand any further. Go away. Go very far away. Leave the country and never look back, please. History will likely remember you as the one who started the one time tiger of SE Asia onto a path of negative economic growth, high unemployment, and great unhappiness of the people. We know you loved the power and great benefits from the job. But, enough is enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whether they are enthused by Prawit's dynamic leadership style, or are lining up their chosen replacement, or are merely open to bids from interested parties ( let's face it, all the top jobs in the country are sold) we don't know, but Prayut is out. Quite right. The higher authority/real power will decide on this issue. If he is required to stay he will stay. If not, he will be gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomacht8 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Let's see if the general statement of the constitution applies, that no person can hold the post of PM for longer than 8 years. The original purpose is to avoid someone permanently seizing power. The danger that dictatorial structures can arise from this is simply too great. Especially where the majority principle in parliament only applies to a limited extent, as in the case of Thailand, where 250 senators are appointed. Let's see if an individual's ego is above the constitution. That Prayut had his 8 years as a PM can not be disputed.

It seems for many, that thirst cannot be quenched, no matter how much they have, nor how powerful they are. Think of Trump, Marcos, Castro, Xi, Putin, Duvalier, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and so many others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Sadly I was so pleased to see the back of the Shin tribe I thought Prayut would be a good guy. Considering he has done little in keeping his promises in the last eight years it is time he went, but not just a swap for The Watchman. 2014 to 2017 was his 1st term and his second full 4 years has come to its end. It is time for an election. Edited September 8, 2022 by George FmplesdaCosteedback more text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Collins Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm an amateur when it comes to Thai politics and perhaps this has been said before in a different form, but I'll say it anyway... If the PM is counting his premiership from 2017, then any laws he signed into force before then are null and void. He didn't have the authority to sign the documents and his action in doing so is unconstitutional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
