Giles Ji Ungpakorn har set udkastet til den nye forfatning, og giver her sine kommentarer. Jeg synes, at især det 'National Morals Forum' er uhyggeligt, da dets udpegede/ikke demokratisk valgte medlemmer bl.a. får lov til at diskvalificere enhver politiker, de synes er "upassende", således at denne ikke får lov til at stille op til et valg The junta’s 2015 draft constitution The junta’s new draft constitution is a pathetic, backward, anti-democratic and infantile document. Just like the rantings of generalissimo Prayut, it is full of tub-thumping and shouting about the “duties” and “responsibilities” of Thai people to grovel to “Nation, Religion and King”. It is infantile in this because it is written by conservative idiots who think that by bullying the population into conforming to elite beliefs they can actually change peoples’ attitudes. The infantilism gets worse when we get to Part 2 of the constitution, which is headed; “Good Political Leaders and Good Representatives”. It doesn’t take much brain power to guess what the junta’s definition of “good” might be. High up on the list is loyalty to “Nation, Religion and King” and not being corrupt…blah blah blah. The whole thing sounds like some moral tale designed for a bad kindergarten. Worse still, the constitution sets out a new unelected committee called the “National Morals Forum”. This appointed bunch of junta loyalists will have unlimited powers to weed out “unsuitable” politicians, making sure they do not stand for elections, and it will have the power to veto policies and start impeachment processes. This “National Morals Forum” is similar to the “fatherland or patriotic committees” in Vietnam today and in Indonesia under Suharto, which selected suitable politicians for the people to “choose”. It should be stated that those who were involved with the cold-blooded murder of pro-democracy demonstrators in 2010 and those who staged military coups to overthrow elected governments and destroy constitutions, are not deemed to be “bad” people at all. It is these “good” state criminals and military gangster who propose in the constitution that the state “educate” the public in democratic principles. The constitution is highly undemocratic because it gives power to the “National Morals Forum”. But added to this is the fact that article 172 allows for a non-MP to become Prime Minister. In 1992 many democracy activists sacrificed their lives on the streets of Bangkok to uphold the principle that the Prime Minister must be an elected member of parliament. The Senate will be totally unelected. Just under half will be “elected” in a sham election where there will be a “choice” of 10 “suitable” candidates per province, selected by the elites, for the people to choose. The candidate with most votes will become the senator. The rest of the senate will be self -appointed by pro-military elite interest groups. The lower house of parliament will be elected by a complicated method involving the tinkering about with the numbers of constituency and party list MPs. Large popular parties like TRT or Pua Thai will be discriminated against by reducing the number of their party list MPs if they win “too many” constituencies. Small, unpopular, parties, such as the Democrat Party, will be given extra party list MPs. The hope is that governments will be weak and less stable and forced to rely on coalitions. Politicians who have suffered bans on their political activity, almost exclusively from Pua Thai and TRT, will be barred from all elections under section 15 of article 111. Governments and politicians who design pro-poor policies which are deemed to be “not in the interest of the nation” can be punished and removed from office under article 205... |
