BANGKOK: -- POLITICIANS have called on charter drafters to revise the draft organic law on political parties, saying it is not in line with the new constitution and undermines participatory politics.

 

“Most of the principles and essence of the draft organic law violate Section 45 of the new charter, which stipulates that people are free to co-found political parties,” said Kanin Boonsuwan, a member of Pheu Thai Party’s legal team. The new charter passed in a referendum in August.

 

With stringent conditions and permission required from Election Commission registrars to set up new parties, the draft law would deter people from taking part in politics, he said. 

 

Kanin’s remarks came in response to the organic law, which was completed and disclosed by the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) last week.

"Since 1932, Thailand has had 20 charters or constitutions (as of 2015)—an average of one roughly every four years[4]—many adopted following military coups, which reflects a high degree of political instability. After each successful coup, military regimes abrogated existing constitutions and promulgated new ones".
