Satit reveals that the Democratic Party’s resolution has knocked out two ballots with one number, hoping to strengthen the political party system and facilitate the people. Confident that the same number does not contravene the Constitution, because there is an expert to take care of. Not afraid of “Phuea Thai” Land slide pointed out that the cost is high, but the election day is another matter. If the law is amended for the benefit of some groups, there may be conflicts in the country.
Today (30 March) Mr. Satit Pitutecha, Deputy Minister of Public Health As chairman of the committee (CAT) Extraordinary Consideration of the Organic Act (Act) on the election of MPs Addressing the case of the Election Commission, the government does not want 2 ballots with the same number because he was worried that the Pheu Thai Party would get a Lanslide vote that the Democratic Party’s meeting resolved to amend 2 ballots to the same number with the purpose of want political parties to be strong in which democratic governance can be successful Political parties must be strong. and to help people understand the choice between political parties and candidates sent by political parties At the same time, it will give different rights to choose.
“It’s important to have as few bad cards as possible. Currently, the electoral population is about 50 million, including the elderly and rural residents. which may be confusing and incomprehensible Therefore, if it is designed according to the law, it must make the election match the intent of the people as much as possible. The design of the election must be clear. There will be an exchange of information, both legal and factual. I have ordered the officials to collect the statistics of invalid ballots in elections. Each time the past has different rules. to be compared consider completely As for each person’s opinion, I respect because it is a privilege,” said Mr. Satit.
When asked if using the same ballot numbers would make it more convenient for people to exercise their rights, Mr Satit said he thought the same thing. And the Democratic Party has experienced that if each constituencies candidates for the House of Representatives with different party numbers Field visits can confuse voters and campaigners. We found that in some cases MPs campaign for their own votes but refused to vote for the party which will cause problems of weak political parties
Asked if the reason people support the use of different numbers was because of concerns that it might violate Article 90 of the Constitution, Mr Satit said there were several reasons. Only those who listened to the meeting understood that people could use their discretion to split cards and separate numbers, not necessarily the same number. There may be some concerns about the law, but the amendment to the law can be designed so that it is not unconstitutional. Also in the layer of amendments to the law We have experts to take care of and write the correct answer to the intent of the constitution.
He asked if the Democrat Party was not afraid that the Pheu Thai Party would slide or not. Mr Satit said There are two principles of constitutional amendment: 1. Strengthen political parties. and 2. to provide convenience to the people If today amend the law for one party and benefit the other The rules are not trusted and reliable, so if someone loses, who wins, these things will be brought up. that may cause elections to be a problem and caused a conflict in the country Any political party will come only as a hypothesis. It’s the basis and the existing cost. But in the end, the election day will be another story. If you’re changing the law for yourself or for a particular group, don’t expect it to gain people’s confidence.
