Hej
Visst ger den Thailändska lagen möjlighet till att upplösa ett helt parti om en enda av deras politiker begår ett fel och den lagen kan man väl ha åsikter om, enligt dom flesta bedömare borde nog den som begår ett fel straffas och inte hela partiet och så är det också i dom flesta demokratierna jorden runt.
Men det stora problemet uppstår när EC väljer sida i konflikten eller snarare beordras att göra detta av männen bakom kuppen, det kan inte bara vara slumpen att EC begår misstag varje gång bevis finns som skulle leda till upplösning av det Demokratiska partiet, varför förhalas just deras ärenden så länge att dom hinner preskriberas, varför besgår EC tekniska misstag som leder till att fallet ogillas och inte kan tas ställning till trots överväldigande bevisning? Detta är frågor du bör ställa dig själv samtidigt som du tar ställning till att just röda partier förbjuds och upplöses.
Själv tycker jag att det är absurt och stötande när denna lag ensidigt används av männen bakom kuppen som ett politiskt verktyg för att få det parti som dessa vill ha vid makten mot folkets vilja, skulle folket vilja ha det parti som kungahus, kuppmakare, Bangkok elit och militär föredrar skulle befolkningen självklart rösta fram dessa, men när deras part bara får ca 20% av rösterna i valen så vill befolkningen helt uppenbart att ett annat parti ska styra landet och det får dessa små men inflytelserika grupper i samhället lära sig att acceptera.
Du behöver inte lägga några aspekter på att Demokraterna "köper" röster det är ju något som förmodligen alla Thailändare redan vet, även landets myndigheter som polis, EC och andra som övervakar valen bekräftar ju detta liksom Thailändsk forskning på området och inte minst media, även medlemmar här på MPR har ju genom åren berättat om hur dom Demokratiska röstköpen går till i södra Thailand o.s.v.
Thailand lär aldrig bli demokratiskt så länge juridiska och militära kupper tillåts, liksom att Double Standard tillämpas hos dom myndigheter som opartiskt ska övervaka valen och rättssystemet låter sig styras av kungahus, kuppmakare, Bangkok elit och militär.
Ser ännu ingen lösning på dessa problem och saken är väl egentligen än värre nu med en uppenbarligen tokig diktator vid makten, vem vet vad han hittar på och om han vill lämna ifrån sig makten överhuvudtaget.

Hmm, du verkar att ha missat detta så jag lägger in det igen:
"PM'S DECLARATION:'Democracy is not my goal'
Thaksin suggests he'll block any move for amendments to rein in his power Prime Minister
Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday revealed for the first time the value he places on democracy, saying it was not the foremost thing Thailand needed. In a candid statement made ominous by its release on Constitution Day,
Thaksin said that as long as the country could progress and the people were happy, he was not concerned about the means used. "Democracy is a good and beautiful thing, but it's not the ultimate goal as far as administering the country is concerned," he said. "Democracy is just a tool, not our goal. The goal is to give people a good lifestyle, happiness and national progress." In a comment to counter calls for constitutional amend- ments that would support the sputtering checks-and-balances mechanism, the prime minister hinted that he would block the campaign to amend the charter, an issue that could cause a fall-out between him and his Chat Thai Party allies. "Democracy is a vehicle,"
Thaksin said. "We can't drive a Rolls-Royce to a rural village and solve people's problems. A pickup truck or good off-road car will do. We just need to think carefully and make the right choices." Amid threats of total domination by the ruling Thai Rak Thai Party, the minor coalition partner, academics and opposition MPs agree there is an urgent need to sharpen the teeth of independent constitutional bodies and empower a parliamentary system of checks and balances. "I don't think there's a need to amend the charter right now," said Thaksin. "Maybe they want to because they want to censure me in Parliament." Many rules within the Constitution are said to be playing into the hands of
Thaksin as they seem to ease his on-going consolidation of power and expansionist philosophy. Among them is the requirement that a censure motion against the prime minister has to be signed by at least 200 MPs. Before leaving for the Asean-Japan summit in Tokyo,
Thaksin avoided actually naming the Chat Thai Party, which has proposed a public referendum to amend the Constitution coinciding with the 2005 general election. "If they really want to do it for good reasons, why didn't they do it earlier when they had enough support in Parliament?"
Thaksin said. "There's no real need to change the highest law at the moment. If we do have implementation problems, we can review the Constitution's organic laws." The Chat Thai Party has set up a working group to review the Constitution. But the study could take a long time, its leader
Banharn Silapa-Archa confirmed yesterday, at the risk of upsetting his powerful ally. "We are reviewing both the charter and organic laws, as we think that it's time to amend the Constitution," said Banharn. "But I can't say whether we can finish in time for the next election." Chat Thai leaders have said the charter has failed to produce an adequate system of checks and balances in the political system, as a single party dominates Parliament and many independent constitutional bodies. Once lauded as one of the best constitutions the country has had, the 1997 charter is seen by a growing number of critics as having failed to cope with the realities of Thai politics in the era of Thaksin's political and business empire. Chat Thai wants all political parties represented when selecting members of key independent bodies, which have been under growing influence of Thai Rak Thai. Snoh Thienthong, leader of the Wang Nam Yen faction of Thai Rak Thai, also alluded to support for constitutional amendment and suggested
Thaksin was the reason to review the charter. "The prime minister's thoughts run faster than the Constitution, so it might be necessary to change the law to keep up with him. He's a commander who moves faster than his army," Snoh said. Former Constitution Drafting Assembly members who wrote the existing charter have backed calls for amendment to bolster the checks-and-balances mechanism before it falls apart. "When we made it a rule that the censure motion must be submitted by at least 200 MPs, we never envisaged any party would one day have the staggering influence of 400 MPs in Parliament," said Decho Sawananont, one of the charter-drafters. "This hampers the opposition's work and the future looks bleak."
