The Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) is expected
to submit the first draft of the new constitution to the
National Reform Council (NRC) for consideration by
April 17.The final draft id expected to be ready for
promulgated in
September, with a further three months
allowed to issue relevant laws and seek royal
endorsement.
And the new election will be set as early as February
next year.
There are still important critical issues such as :
1.Number of MPs
which will cut from 500 to between
450-470 under the MMP system.
2.Non-elected outsider prime minister will be allow to
be appointed in crisis situation.
3.The bargaining power of small parties against big
parties will
be more.
4.All 200 senstors will come from appointment.
5.The National Equity and Ethic Commission is expected
to be formed with controversies that these parties are
the
successor of NRC
and NLA.
Fact and
viewpoint of :
1.Number of MPs which will cut from 500 to between
450-470
under the MMP system.Under this model 250 MPs will be
elected
from constituencies and 200-220 MPs from the party list.
The difference amount of MPs from party list which is
30-50 MPs
less than the last election.This difference is the
result of using
MMP system which use the term of mixed-member proportional
voting and commonly abbreviated.So MMP is similar to the
additional member system with no balance seats and consequently
and it is not perfectly proportional .This is the reason why MPs
from party list is decrease.
I think the amount of 30-50 seats decrease is not
significant
If we base on principal of MPP system. I believe that
the total
amount of 450-470 is reasonablr and sufficient to do
their duty.
I think that the more amount of MPs will be quarrel more
and
it waste time in the parliament.
2.Non-elected outside prime minister will allow to be
appointed in crisis situation and the cabinet ministers
can be chosen from outsiders.
According to the fact that prime minister and the
cabinet
ministers of Thailand never resign from their position
although there are critical crisis as happened in early
2014.
This issue is to
find the exit way if we have critical
situation and I
think it is a good alternative for our country
but it should use only in a must situation which
carefully
choose the right person.
3.The bargaining power of small-and medium-sized parties
against big parties will be more because the charter
drafters
favour small parties and encourage coaliation
government.
I do not agree with this issue to encourage coaliation
governmet.
With too many small parties I think it will make politics flap
around because
there will be too many different policy that
we can not achieve.Only two or three parties with
clearly policy
can simply implement which less conflict of interest
,
less controversies and will lead to unity of the parties.
These will be good for Thai politics in the long run.
4.All 200 senators will come from appointment.
I do not agree with this issue because it moving
backward
to constitution 1997 again.I think we should give the
right
to Thai citizens to elect the senators too.We can set
the
proportion of elected and appointed senators by use the
same
base as 2007 and make more suitability.
5.The National Equity and Ethic Commission is expected
to be formed with conflict that these parties are the
successor
of NRC and NlA.
But I do not think so because member of
the two parties are composed of professional and
specialized
with honest background. The important point is to put
the right
man in to the right job with clearly authority and
responsibility.
The conflict of interest should be solved before the
draft charter
is promulgated.There should be the process of individual
or
group discussion to provide feedback ideas on the draft
charter
to the CDC and referenment is sound and essential for
the
new constitution.If we can solve conflict of interest
and
controversies
among every parties,this new coming constitution
will lead us to a
true and sustainable democracy in the long run.
I hope that Thai people are the same unity and live in
peace again
in the future.
