Can you explain how they were first voted into power…? before they then stacked the deck including stuffing in 250 appointed senators. There have been plenty of arguments already (including from me) pointing out your flawed argument - one of the major ones being a proper democratic government in a free and fair election..or does that argument need explaining to you too? he got the most votes.....most votes in the election...has nothing to do with the Senators.... yes that there are bad regimes that got most votes in history is correct...you can use that argument equally against Pita or against anyone? That isn't an argument. And the best proof of free and fair elections is that Prayut lost this time...if he would rigged the election he wouldn't have lost it. With the appointed Senators we agree....I can't understand how someone can write something so stupid into the constitution...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavideol Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 if that's the case, Thailand will reach the bottom and any little piece of credibility, if any left within the international community, it will be gone for good....

Unless the constitution is changed they can appoint 1000 senators and it makes no difference What is required to move and pass a constitutional amendment? I understand that Chapter 15, Section 256 (3), of the 2017 Constitution requires that a majority of the combined two chambers of parliament, the House and the Senate, as well as no fewer than one-third of senators, or 84 of the 250 senators. The Senate vote is guaranteed, that would give them just under a year to create the majority. Edited July 1, 2023 by herfiehandbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that will result in a working government. Plus they'd risk civil unrest because the election would have been largely meaningless. Agree with the civil unrest. I assume that Pheu Thai will ask for the speakers seat and join the collation. Oh, and of course Taksin returns shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't,Pita, unlike the junta wasn't in power to influence nor manipulate the process. His achievement in that respect as an unfancied candidate is even more stunning .

anchadian Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 A very confident Pita Has there been any comment from Prawit? Yes, No comment. MFP PM candidate Pita on Sat accepts an invitation by operators of tourism businesses to be tourism ambassador. Pita said once he's in office, the new gov't will boost tourism and he will personally promote tourism when visiting NYC in Sept for the UN General Assembly.https://twitter.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1675022308896047115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
