According to the draft charter,The Constitution Drafting
Committee (CDC)
wants half of new 200 seat senator to
consist of :
1.Former high-level minister,President of the Nation
Assembly,
President of Court judge 10 persons.
2.Civil service, Commander in Chief,Controller of the
army,
Bureaucrats 10 persons.
3.Former head
of Professional Organization 10 persons.
4.Self-select from Agricultural sector, Labour,Professional,
Community 50 persons.
The other half would be nominated by a screening
committee
and chosen by “People Assembly” in every important
fields
100 persons.
The senators will be in the position for six years and
can not
be in continuous position.
Compare with last senators elections which happened on
March 30,2014,it
based on charter 2007,senstors composed of
150 members. 77 Senators are directly elected from 77
provinces
of Thailand including Bangkok,while the other 73 are
appointed
from various sectors by The Senate Selection Committee.
The senate is a non-partisan legislative chamber
operates under
fixed terms of six years and can not be in continuous
position.
The difference point between senate election base on
charter
2007 and the new draft charter is, base on chareter 2007
senators come from election and appointment but the new
draft
charter all senators come from appointment and this is
the same
as charter 1997.
What to be think?
1.Will the new draft charter lead us to move to right
direction
of democracy?
2.Can the new draft charter solves the controversies
about
Politics in Thailand?
In my viewpoint, first, charter 2007 was raised up to
solve
The problem of charter 1997 that appointment of senators
is not the right way to democracy but base on the new
draft
charter, all of 200 senators will be appointed again.
It does not make-sense to solve the problem by moving
backward. I think if we are not in the proper situation
of
election all the senators. The combination of election
and appointment are appropriate and if we want 200
senators we can allocate the proportion between
election and appointment.
Second, the new draft charter can not solve the
controversies
about Politics in Thailand because senators appointment
will lead us to Bureacracy again.I think all Thai
citizens want
democracy and we should find the way to reach that
point.
If you think Thai people are not smart enough for
democracy.
We can solve this problem by solving our education
problem,
give them a sound education so that they can analize information
and make the right decision for the election.
