One Nor” It is expected that the joint session of Parliament will discuss the draft amendment to the Constitution in mid-October. IF THE SA CONTINUES TO SOLVE THE DOUBLE MAJORITY, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SET UP A JOINT COMMITTEE TO POINT OUT THAT IT WILL BE DELAYED. Both the entire edition and each section I can’t guess whether this government will be modernized or not.
Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor Mata The Speaker of the National Assembly said that the amendment to the Constitution by section was initially coordinated by the Parliamentary Division. Currently, there are three drafts that have been included in the agenda of the People’s Party, but it is not clear in the case of the news whether the Party for Thailand will submit 2-3 more draft amendments to the Constitution by section. Therefore, we have to wait and see what the end will be. However, at the moment, we are still waiting for clarity on the draft proposed by the People’s Party. The Party for Thailand is expected to hold a parliamentary meeting to consid
er the draft constitutional amendment. In mid-October, as stipulated that if submitted, it must be included in the agenda for no more than 15 days, which is considered according to the procedure discussed by all the whips to set the date.
As for the draft of the People’s Party that has been submitted, whether it must hold a referendum or a public opinion poll or not. Mr. Wan Muhammad said that if there is an amendment to the whole document or an amendment to the power of independent organizations or the power of the legislature, whether it is reduced or increased, a referendum must be held. Ask the opinion of the people as prescribed by the Constitution.
Meanwhile, regarding the revision of ethical standards, it is necessary to consider how to amend them because there are both issues that need to be done and not referendums.
In addition, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor He also mentioned the case where the senators want to amend the Referendum Act. I disagree with the use of a majority vote. BUT USE THE DOUBLE MAJORI
TY METHOD OR “TWO-TIER MAJORITY” TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE END BECAUSE THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HAS ALREADY AMENDED AND PROMULGATED IT. Opinions are not the same, it must be corrected again by appointing a joint commissioner.
As for whether it will affect the amendment of the Constitution or not. Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor said that if the draft amendment to the Constitution does not require a referendum, there is no need to wait. Which draft must go through the referendum first will be delayed, but whether it will be updated at this meeting or not is unknown. He also reiterated that he did not want to speak in advance because if the referendum process was amended differently from the original draft, the process would also be delayed.
As for the amendment of the referendum, it may lead to the preparation of a new constitution. Will it not return to this government in time? Mr. Wan Muhammad Nor said that whether it will be late or not is another matter. However, if the referendum law is amended, When all
the time that has been carried out is not valid, we have to start a new count or hold a referendum, but half of the people came out to exercise their rights but not half agreed. This is not the majority vote of the right, so we have to look at the details because it depends on the law, but at the moment, there is no consensus on amending the constitution. As for whether it will catch up with this government or not, it is still unclear how it will be, depending on many factors, such as whether the issue of holding a referendum is beneficial and interesting for the people.
Meanwhile, the referendum does not know whether the people are interested or not, and they do not know what to ask, and whether it is worth the time spent by the people. If the solution is not satisfactory, the public will see that it is better not to come out because it does not pay attention to it, which will waste opportunities, waste time, and budget because there is a matter that cannot be predicted in advance because it has not happene
d yet.
