Just in time for Election Day, there's something that shouldn't be an issue. It became a story when some senators came out to admit that A committee was set up to study and amend the constitution. Regarding setting the prime minister's term for 8 years, he can be prime minister. Forever claims that it is not done for Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, but it will be useful to all prime ministers who are elected by the people. Who will be the Prime Minister, the people will choose themselves, claiming that Pae Thongtarn Shinawatra has more benefits. Because the age is younger General Prayut There are also threats that Senators won't choose prime ministers from certain parties leading to political turmoil, so we had to find a way out All sorts of reasons for drawing the five rivers But the fact is will solve the problem of the prime minister half term General Prayut Absolutely complete.
Ask if it's appropriate or not.
To be honest, understand that the person who wrote the constitution prevented mistakes if in the case of the past government establishment, not General Prayut.
but on the contrary
will encounter a trap from this constitution to the fullest and if it is General Prayuth
would be prime minister for two terms, which is considered more than enough
If compared to the past Prime Minister of Thailand
Set a record for only 8 years
Therefore, he wrote the constitution and set the prime minister's agenda.
Didn't expect it to be a trap and slit his throat.
Reason afraid
When the Prime Minister is in power for more than 8 years, it will be a monopoly.
For democracy
Considered the defense of monopoly power or majority dictatorship.
In line with the principles of democracy, of course.
In many countries, both democratic and authoritarian, there is a clearly defined leadership agenda.
The reason would be similar to the 1960 constitution, but some countries have zigzags.
Alternating between being prime minister and being president
Discard the last card to amend the constitution to become a leader without limits.
end of story
Most of which are countries that used to rule with communism.
The free world will strictly accept the rules.
different here
This case is considered
a double-edged sword for the future of politics.
General Prayut
assuming the fix is successful
Gen. Prayuth can be prime minister for a long time.
and be able to amend the constitution in favor of
This set of senators, who will complete their term in 2024, will be able to stay with
Gen. Prayut goes on and on, because if Gen. Prayut does not have a vote of 250 senators to support, it will be difficult to work.
but from another point of view The power that is in the hands of the people cannot be controlled. When the news appeared on the constitutional amendment that unlocked the prime minister for 8 years, he saw that will be useful to Gen. Prayut goes full without a doubt Villagers will use the method of cutting off the electricity from the beginning of the wind. Bring together to pour election votes to the opposite party. General Prayut Make the dream of Pheu Thai's land slides come true. Like when people poured votes for Chatchart Sittipunt as Bangkok governor because they were afraid that the opposite party would come in as governor. Now there will be no three P. Forever and Prime Minister Forever, only land slides.
