Quiet Coup Vs Real Coup

[tezzainoz]

During a military Coup a referendum to the Thai people changed the constitution

As the Thai people had the chance to vote on the constition change and when they did the majority approved the new constitution

But now the rules change and the new Government wants to change it with out a referendum

Is it all Black & White

Amending a constitution without carrying out a national referendum is not democratic.

Yet, is this practical than tearing apart a constitution using guns and tanks, then pushing a new replacement down the Thai peoples throats.

42.39% of the qualified citizens, or 19.1 million people, did not vote in the August 2007 constitution referendum.

10.7 million voted against it , then you get 29.8 million people who can arguably be counted as not having approved the current constitution at all!

Against the 14.7 million who ticked the "Yes" box.

As stated by another "If the upcoming constitutional amendment process is termed by opponents as a "quiet coup," then perhaps it would be appropriate to call it a "quiet coup" to reverse the "real coup" that took place 19 months earlier."

On top of this if the military coup was illegal and the PPP party id disqualified

Then is Taskin not still the legal Prime Minister of Thailand
