AN URGENT MOTION to hold a public referendum on the amendment of the whole constitution yesterday (Sept. 15) passed an initial approval in the House of Representatives albeit with less than half the total number of MPs.

 

Only 215 MPs voted in support of the motion jointly proposed by Move Forward Party and Pheu Thai Party for the government to conduct the public referendum on whether most people nationwide may prefer to see the comprehensive amendment to the coup junta-designed constitution which has been largely seen as practically undemocratic, utterly complicated and contentious.

 

However, such motions need yea votes from no less than half the total of MPs, accounting for 239, to pass into law in accordance with parliamentary meeting rules. Minutes before the legislators cast their vote, the House meeting was found to have 242 MPs attending, thus barely over half the total number.

In many countries they have the same constitution for ages, but in Thailand after every coup there is a new one written to benefit the coup makers...Why not do just as in other countries? And yes this constitution is undemocratic and no freedom...and need to be reformed for all institutions
