Recommend that the government reconsider the referendum question.

Parliament, "Chaithawat" advises the government to review the referendum question. Points out that it must be open and easy to understand, fear of losing votes Because there are conditions Emphasizes that it will go further and will not obstruct the new constitution. But some locking loops There will be technical problems. Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives and Leader of the Kao Klai Party. Referring to the case of a government spokesperson It was revealed that the government announced its approval in principle of holding a referendum to amend the constitution three times, with the first time asking whether or not it agreed to create a new constitution. Without amending Section 1 and Section 2, it is not clear from looking at the documents whether the Cabinet has officially resolved on this matter or not. From the perspective of the Progressive Party 'If there is still time I want the government to reconsider asking questions in a referendum in the broadest po ssible way, easy to understand, without complicated conditions, such as asking people whether they agree with creating a new constitution to replace the old one. If the government is concerned about Category 1 and Category 2, the government and MPs can amend the details by proposing a draft constitutional amendment to the parliament after the referendum,' the opposition leader said. Mr. Chaithawat said that the principle of holding a referendum is that it must be easy to understand. But if you ask a question with the condition that except for Category 1 and Category 2, people who vote agree What does he agree with? As for those who disagree or abstain from voting What does he disagree with? Don't agree with setting conditions to exclude certain categories. or do not agree with the preparation of a new constitution I want to stay with Constitution 60, so how to interpret the referendum results? 'A simple referendum question. There will be an opportunity for the referendum to pass more easily. Able to combine the most unified votes Instead, there are some voters who want a new constitution. but do not agree with the conditions So he voted to disapprove. Or don't vote at all. It would be a shame. We probably don't hold referendums often. The opposition wants referendums to have as much chance of passing as possible. Especially the current referendum act. with two-tiered majority conditions Now, what the Progressive Party is trying to do is send a message to the government that it supports and wants to see a new constitution drafted as soon as possible. There was no intention to obstruct. While the Cabinet is unclear whether there has been an official resolution or not. That means there is still a chance to change. I want it to be reviewed,' the opposition leader said. Mr. Chaithawat said that regarding Section 1 and Section 2 of the Constitution, some people in the government are trying to create understanding that The Progressive Party really wants to amend Section 1 and Section 2, so it opposes this kind of ques tion, which is not because of basic principles. If supreme power belongs to the people The Constitution should be able to amend everything. This kind of political norm should not be established. That has never happened before in history. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Constitution are not related to royal power alone. But there are other things as well. 'Suppose that in the future there is a Constitutional Drafting Assembly (MPs) that sees that there is no need for a Senate. Then use the unicameral system. Like Thailand in the past, but in Section 1 there are Senate words. How to remove it? Therefore, it is necessary to correct the wording. To be consistent with other constitutional amendments which is not related to royal authority at all This may cause technical problems,' the opposition leader said. Mr. Chaithawat said he would like the government to listen to the people's opinions. Personally, I believe that it is a voice based on good intentions. It may not be necessary to ask only the opinions of oppo sition parties. But we must find the opinions of the public sector. and civil society. The best questions are those that are easy to understand. and unite the voices of those who want to make a new constitution unified. Source: Thai News Agency
