CDC spokesman: All opinions are welcome

  

BANGKOK, 13 September 2016 (NNT) – A spokesman of the Constitution Drafting Commission has confirmed that opinions are always welcome to help shape organic laws under the new charter. 

CDC spokesman Udom Ratamarit said today that the charter drafters have just discussed with Election Commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn an exchange of ideas about the content of the draft organic law on political parties. 

Mr. Udom said that the core points both have submitted emphasize the importance of enabling Thailand to have strong political institutions and ways to make people participate more in politics. 

Another issue the CDC and the EC have discussed is the importance of all political parties’ policies that will really lead to an effective development of the society, he said. 

Mr. Udom added that the EC’s proposals are in line with the ideas of the CDC, which is in the middle of its work on the draft political parties act. 

When asked about the possibility of allowing the public to share their ideas on organic laws, the CDC spokesman said that the charter drafters have been encouraging the people to do so through various channels all along.

More fodder for the "Superfluous" file.

All opinions are welcome, oh yes and there's bound to be a BUT or HOWEVER in there somewhere.

Couldn't find an image of the file, but found where it is kept.

So, when asked about the possibility of allowing the public to share their ideas on organic laws, Udom Ratamarit says "...the charter drafters have been encouraging the people to do so through various channels all along..."

 

 

Trouble is, going through these so-called "various channels" ends up with the same result!

"All opinions are welcome"

After review we will decide if attitude adjustment is necessary.

What the hell did the people recently vote on?

Good question.

 

That bit of Democracy theater was probably more of up/down referendum on the Junta and a form of "government" which will allow only the few "good" people to govern the masses, than the approval of a piece of paper (OK: many, many, many pieces of paper)? Now that the Junta has the people's "approval" they can jigger the "organic laws", which will impact their "rights" much more than the 279 articles in the Constitution. That's why it's called "rule-by-law", and not "rule-of-law".

It is quite obvious that the organic laws will include what they did not even dare to put in the constitution.

This sounds like laws that will define political parties' policies, likely to be inline with Prayut's expectations and future junta-appointed Senate. If so, might as well just be honest and go to a one-party system similar to Vietnam and China.
