So those five guys were elected from a group of people elected from another group of people, who was appointed!!

With this fair process, no doubt we will see a charter looking out for the interest of all Thai people!!

Next step will be to set up a subcommittee to find a supplier of oversized crayons so that they can write the charter.

Earlier on Wednesday, the National Reform Council elected 20 members to undertake the drafting of a new charter.

This really shouldn't take long, take the 1997 Constitution, pencil in "No member of the Shinawatra family, or proxy thereof may hold any political position". "No person that cannot explain their wealth or has been convicted of a crime may run for, or take political office". Job done.

You need a general in the mix to make sure the dictates of the great leader are followed to the letter...
