BANGKOK, June 16 - "Jet" points out that the government is slow, not strange. Raising foreign countries took more than 400 days to complete. Looking at 250 senators. Obstruction. Believe that if there is no senator for Pheu Thai, there will never be a handshake. Going far. fear of restlessness Make Thailand face the sweltering rain
Association of Political and Electoral Development Institute Organized an academic discussion on the direction of Thai politics after the 2023 election, with Prof. Dr. Siriphan Noksuan Sawasdee, lecturer at the Department of Government Chulalongkorn University and Assoc.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chet thinks that after the election, a lot of laws will be applied, which is sympathetic because the laws are constantly being changed, including myself still confused when they change often. It's time to actually use it. does not use the legal framework But there are mechanisms to regulate things that we do not create, such as democracy. King head of state I have to admit that after 1932, there was such a regime for a long time. No, we are the ones who created it. However, changing the constitution Or the law is often not good, what is already good should be kept, don't fix it, which part is a problem, pick it up and fix it. I have to do it later.
Mr. Chet also said that Currently awaiting the formation of the government which is not surprising that it may be delayed Because, like Germany or Belgium, it still takes more than 400 days compared to each other. The establishment of the Thai government was therefore not delayed. But the problem is Although getting more than half of the votes, but in the end, if the lower house is less than half, it is difficult. In the end, there will be a mechanism that they see should not happen is to maintain national peace It will cause the country to escalate. and ends with a coup d'état Bring party members into administration
“The biggest problem in forming a government is having 250 senators. You have to wait and see if you have to get 376 votes. If you don't believe that the Pheu Thai Party will never join hands with the party, it will definitely go far. This is what the past. The NSO has done it to help minorities to form a government. And if looking at this size look further By opening the debate, there is no trust at all. so that there will be no problems or for senators to vote on the law as well, reiterating that what causes problems is the NCPO," Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chet said.
On Prof. Dr. Siripan's opinion, the direction of Thai politics after the election clearly visible is the role of social media With the election on May 14-15, it was found that there are 83 million accounts of people using social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Line, and Twitter, and 84% of the Thai population have a social account. Social, equal to the other 16%, does not have a social account. which may be a child or those who are not interested in politics And the first obvious thing is the use of # to express a political standpoint. and inviting people to exercise their right to vote This encourages political participation. At the same time, the Progressive Party uses social media to formulate policies. But what I want to say is that the result of using social media on the other side is to create intimacy. more intimate with political parties
In addition, the next point is the rapid change in rural Thailand. Originally, if we looked at the election results, we could see that the Progressive Party was able to win in both urban and rural areas. So there is no more traditional countryside. and the question arises why most people To move the pole to choose a far-reaching party And by the majority of those who move the pole is Conservatives, which they see because what they want is to answer economic questions. administrative efficiency
Prof. Dr. Siriphan also spoke about the constitution that People's fairness is not about whether to go see or fix which section. And not to let the interpretation go to only lawyers or political scientists. Because listening to 10 lawyers, they said their needs did not match. sometimes the same person Saying twice is not the same. and asked why Thailand was in a state of political freeze. Because it has been through the election for more than 1 month. In fact, abroad takes longer. in forming a government because it is a coalition government But there is no other country in the world where the Election Commission has a period of up to 60 days to consider announcing the election results, so it is seen as a problem.
“I believe that the ECT has no secrets in But people have learned about Thai political history for a long time. causing distrust which is devastating for the new government to come. I can only imagine That party will change polarity. This party will merge with that party. This is an undermining of the rules created against political institutions,” said Prof. Dr. Siriphan.
Prof. Dr. Siriphan also mentioned the issue of Mr. Pita's shareholding Lim Chareonrat far-reaching party leader by comparing with the case of Mr. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit The former leader of the Future Forward Party said that if I'm not mistaken, the Election Commission submitted a request to the court to decide on May 16, 2019. The Constitutional Court took 7 days to stop performing its duties. which is before the meeting of the House of Representatives before electing the Speaker of the Council But in the case of Mr. Phitha, he was not sure if he would file a petition to the Constitutional Court. So, how long will the Constitutional Court take? to consider having a statement either way If you look at the last time constitutional court An order was given to Mr. Thanathorn. Ceased duty before the prime minister is elected. and then judged that Mr. Thanathorn Shareholding and disqualification
“In the case of Mr. Pita holding shares, I'm not sure if we'll see the ruling first or not. So the issue lies in the council's vote. which the constitution has installed a mechanism biggest challenge and did not focus on Mr. Phitha will become prime minister or not, but instead sees What should be addressed is the challenge of peaceful transfer of power from one pole to the other. after the election If July and August pass peacefully, peace finds a solution by consensus. Maybe not everything at least The first step is the peaceful transfer of power. The country will be able to go on. But if we can't get past July and August, we think we will have a sweltering rainy season.” Prof. Dr. Siriphan .-Thai News Agency
