The senator against the people, a game where everyone loses | Kan Iam Inthra

People have already made their intentions clear. Support the former opposition party to have the opportunity to form a new government.

Although technically the new government will need to gather more than 375 votes in parliament (MP + Senedd), which is a strange rule. not strictly democratic principles

All Thai people know better that the origin of all parliamentarians stems from the appointment of former sovereigns who seized power, the essentials of a democracy where the people are great

Thailand’s parliamentary democracy with the King as Head of State has taken the form of the United Kingdom as a template That we and England are ancient ancient countries. A king ruled for a long time. have a unique culture We have a parliament made up of elected MPs and appointed parliamentarians and courts.

main function The senator scrutinizes the law. proposed by the House of Representatives, which is considered the representative of the people and filtered by the senator as a council of knowledgeable, skilled and mature people, but British parliamentarians do not have the right to elect the prime minister. That right is the right of the people alone. to convey the principle that Even if people have unequal knowledge and abilities have status and belong to different classes but under democracy We are all equal under the law.

Like Thai parliamentarians, British parliamentarians are in the House of Lords by appointment. And since ancient times, it is considered a symbol of tradition and class from the old days, so senators include monks. lady and government nominees, while Thai parliamentarians are chosen from various professional groups.

Originally, British parliamentarians were very powerful. The law was then amended to make it more modern, and the power of the parliamentarians was limited. All that is left is to protest or slow down the legislation published by the House of Representatives in order to add details or remind the government to stop again in legislation. But how? Parliamentarians have no power to overturn a law proposed by the state.

Unlike elected US senators. Therefore, he is seen as another representative of the people. when considering the veto of the law or the certification of persons who hold important positions such as judges of the High Court a senior civil servant nominated by the president Therefore, the duty of the senator is to balance the government and the House of Representatives.

In short, the appointed senators have no power. because they are not the true representatives of the people, unlike elected senators who will have power Therefore, the constitution that empowers Too many unelected senators Therefore, it cannot be called a full democratic constitution. which now shows that It is one of the reasons that can lead the country to a dead end.

The people have announced a clear and loud consensus that they wish to see the new government in a different direction. Resisting the demands of the masses is not a way that leads to a solution.

It’s an equation that has lost and lost No one can win The country is at an end. The people were greatly harmed.
