The only way to force change  is to make the majority votes winner party the outright winner, and the PM chosen via polling at the ballot box.

And put the armed forces firmly under civilian control, like any civilized country should. 

But TBH, I no longer care what happens as long as the baht starts falling again. A pox on all their houses.

Pheu Thai list-MP and caretaking party spokesperson, Rinthipond Varinvatchararoj, said the current view of Pheu Thai PM Candidate, Srettha Thavisin, is that the amendment of the lese-majeste law is currently an obstacle to the formation of the government.

 

Rinthipond pointed out Srettha's interview with the media on July 20, during which he emphasized that the amendment of the law must be dropped before the next PM voting. Otherwise, the next PM candidate will not gain the support of the senators and many external parties.

 

Rinthipond comment came after some senators expressed their reluctance to vote for Srettha because he said before the election that the law should be amended to prevent it from being used as a political tool.

Members of the Move Forward Party (MFP) have dismissed speculation that they will leave the 8-party coalition. MFP list-MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn said if the 8-party coalition remains united, it will be impossible for the previous ruling coalition to form a functioning government. MFP deputy secretary-general Nattacha Boonchaiinsawat rejects the idea of leaving to allow portions of the junta-backed parties to join without Prayut and Prawit, pledging not to support Pheu Thai's PM candidate in such a scenario. MFP core member Amarat Chokepamitkul said the party does not intend to leave the coalition and still vote for the Pheu Thai Party's PM Candidate with the excuse of the two generals' absence.

MFP Party MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn said Tues he doesn't believe Pheu Thai will abandoned his party to form a new coalition with pro-junta parties, adding it will be difficult for PT to justify it. Wiroj said however MFP MPs will meet tomorrow & such scenario will be considered.

Senator Kittisak Rattanawaraha said the next prime minister will not come from the Pheu Thai Party.

 

He said Pheu Thai PM Candidate Srettha Thavisin will not survive the allegations made by Chuwit Kamolvisit.

 

According to Senator Kittisak, the Pheu Thai Party is now left with two PM choices: Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul and Palang Pracharath Party leader Prawit Wongsuwan.

 

He also expressed his belief that Srettha is merely a "decoy," and emphasized that the person who should become the prime minister must be loyal to "nation, religion, and monarchy."

Just goggle counties that have no coups since independence or have not experience any more coups for a long period of time like South Korea.

Pheu Thai party’s prime ministerial candidate Srettha Thavisin said that the lèse majesté issue must set aside if his prime ministerial candidacy is to receive sufficient support from senators and other MPs in parliament.

This will be tough to "Sell" to Thai voters.

 

Come in fourth with 3% of the votes (BJT) or seventh with 1.42% of the votes, and voila, rule the country. The "will of the people" becomes the "will of a few people". 

 

All this because a law, routinely referred to as "draconian", cannot be slightly amended. Hopeless.

 

The draconian lèse majesté law is back in the spotlight after at least 41 people were slapped with royal defamation charges in relation to anti-establishment protests over the past few weeks.
