webfact Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 PM Yingluck ready to submit Budget Bill for royal endorsementBy English NewsBANGKOK, Oct 5 – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said the government would seek royal endorsement for the Budget Bill which was deemed legal by the Constitution Court yesterday.Eight Constitution Court judges voted unanimously to permit promulgation of the bill, rejecting a petition by opposition lawmakers and some senators against two articles concerning budget allocations to three independent agencies.Opposition Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the government could move on with passing the bill now that the Constitution Court has made its ruling.The Constitution Court has yet to rule on another petition regarding the government-sponsored charter amendment bill, which has already passed the final reading by Parliament.Opposition MPs lodged a complaint with the court, saying some MPs in the government bloc voted on behalf of their colleagues who were absent during the debate on the charter change bill.

hammered Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Good news for Thailand. The economy right now is not so strong and needs government expenditure to keep it healthy. The big worry in business circles was that the economy would tank if this was declared unconstitutional. Luckily especially considering the unbelievable reasons put forward for unconstitutionality this did not happen. It is also sets a good indication that courts recognize separation of power. Let's hope this continues in other decisions. It is a good test of the political maturity of Thailand. Interesting article in the Nation today, not because of any of the arguements but because it openly talks of the political role of the courts in stymieing the government: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/opinion/A-few-more-charter-traps-remain-30216324.html Someone must have been particularly angry to have openly written about what the Thai people will tell you to your face but the elite and their handlers will totally deny. It is not quite as big a slip as when the previous head of the constitutional court admitted a decision was made not on law but on politics, but continues in that vein. Interesting.

Thanks for rational thought path. In the theatrical tragedy that is Thailand's highly focussed class divisions the elite continue to overreact to the rise of the proletariat. Can this be because of their knowledge of Thai history and the extensively abused privileges of their elites are within a whisker of an egalitarian era. If the self appointed elite can reconcile their differences with the proletariat we shall witness the emergence of Thailand as a regional powerhouse economically that has real political influence through its legislative integrity and honour.
