Hej
I dagens Bangkok Post kritiseras än en gång Juntans förslag att göra det möjligt att tillsätta ej folkvalda som PM enligt den nya föreslagna konstitutionen, skribenten hävdar att ett sånt förslag tar landet 40 år tillbaka i tiden demokratiskt sett.
Non-elected PM puts Thai democracy at risk

Will the next charter allow an unelected prime minister? If the charter drafting sub-committee has its way, the answer is a resounding yes. Sub-committee chairman Apichart Sukhakhanont plans to soon hand over the controversial unelected PM proposal to the Charter Drafting Committee (CDC).
According to the proposal, a prime minister will be elected by a majority vote from the House of Representatives. The names of political party candidates, however, must be selected and announced by the the parties beforehand to allow for public input.
The move has come under immediate fire, with critics accusing the proposal of taking the country back at least 40 years. Since the 1968 charter did not bar an unelected prime minister, Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn did not face any legal hurdles when he took the country's reins.
