google is your friend

Under the 2007 Constitution, the Constitutional Court has nine members, all serving for nine year terms and appointed by the King with senatorial advice: Three are SCJ judges and are selected by the SCJ plenum through secret ballot.

That tells us a lot.

Pita Limjaroenrat represents everything good about Thailand and what Thailand can become. Intelligent, educated and transparent. He is a positive role model for young people. Unlike so many others who were elected to political office, he had experience in running a business, and more importantly in taking a failing business and turning it profitable again through good management practices.  best of  all he was an honest politician, in it for love of his country and of genuinely to effect positive change.

The ruling cabal banned him for a decade in a selfish attempt to protect themselves, but there will be more like Pita in the future. They are trying to hold back progress. The longer they hold it back, the greater the  force for change. Pita is the future and a man of great courage and resolve. 

 

well yea, if he wasn't a treat they wouldn't have banned him.

Pita is removing himself from the scene to take up a postgrad fellowship at his alma mater, Harvard.  Can't really blame him after a 10 year ban but what a loss from the Thai political scene.

Churchill had to deal with his days in the  dark, but came back to save his nation.

Mandela was incarcerated, but, came back to transform his nation.

Washington led a revolution and is celebrated as one of the USA's greatest.

 

If he is leaving, it is good because he will be safe from a group of despotic totalitarian thugs. However,  Pita will one day return to he rightful place in Thailand.

The guy is part of the system he was a MP  the guy went to Harvard but couldnt figure out simply to get rid of a suppose useless stock.

The only way a change is coming is sell your sole for an Army the the problem even if he wins his sole belongs to those who gave him  the army!.

The last coup 8 plus year they drew up a iron clad way to keep it for the old school guys and their kids. Get elected PM they are threaten they find a reason so you cant, instead of another election No it is done by Senators, weho pick the guy after a few months who we made a mistake he is kicked out, next up is the MP's who vote.  It is a merry go round the loser the people who are condition to just ride along.
