webfact Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 EC says there are no political parties in Thailand nowBANGKOK: -- Thailand is currently without a single political party because the political party act has already been automatically scrapped through the suspension of the Constitution by the military junta, according to Election Commissioner Mr Somchai Srisutthiyakorn.He explained that the political party act is an organic law and when the Constitution was suspended all the organic laws, including the act, was automatically scrapped.However, he said that he expected the National Council for Peace and Order to issue an order or an announcement to revive the political parties.Meanwhile Mr Prasaeng Mongkolsiri, advisory chairman of the Palang Prachathippatai (Democratic Power) party, said he tried today (Tuesday) to search into the EC’s database on political parties but without success. He then called an official at the EC’s Office and was told that the database was inaccessible because there are no longer any political parties in the country.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/ec-says-political-parties-thailand-now/ -- Thai PBS 2014-06-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ramrod711 Posted June 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2014 We could a have party but I think a funeral and a wake marking once again the death of democracy! If you think what we had was democracy there is no point in trying to reason with you. Let me say this, if you live in a small village in the north and are married to a Thai, you have seen intimidation at work. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John1012 Posted June 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2014 chainarong ? What is wrong with government departments being headed by people who have had been to military college, properly trained in administration and decision making, and expecting actions , not bs , on the issuance of instructions? They have 'professional' civil servants in their departments who can advise on courses of action and the results thereof. I wish the UK was run by generals, not self serving parasites with the courage of a wet dog turd, whose main purpose in life is to continue their ability to access the political trough and their own self advancement, by pandering to their supporters. At present we have a very benign military regime, which seems to be focused on trying to drag Thailand out of the appalling mess it was descending into. I , at least feel a lot safer, now that the possibility of civil unrest/war has decreased dramatically. I am now not so wary of BIB any more, as there is now a body of power that can control their excesses. I will continue to obey the law so as not to draw unnecessary attention, but feel a lot less fearful of marauding BIB on the make. It will also benefit Thailand to have strong central control when the inevitable life event occurs so as to ensure smooth continuity of service. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginjag Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Whats happened to all the Hub jokes, haven't seen one for ages. A voter asked the EC she wants to vote for her party, the EC said there are no parties, she was adamant about that right and asked several times--The EC said, "madam take the F out of parties and what have you got "---the lady said there isn't any F in parties, the EC said that's what I have been trying to tell you. this is on topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
