Most people apply for Senate – know information about applicants It is the duty of the Election Commission (EC) to consider the important principles above. How to walk to reach that destination? It is a suggestion from someone who has been shining on the political road in both theory and practice for a long time, like Mr. Somchai Srisutthiyakorn, former Election Commission (EC). Today, the Election Commission does not do both. Plus there are regulations regarding introducing oneself. Act contrary to both principles It’s like dissuading many people from inviting them to run for Senate, risking breaking the law. People did not dare to do it, even Mr. Sawaeng Bunmee, Secretary-General of the Election Commission, stated that Mr. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit The president of the Progress Party can do this, but there are limits to situations where those who wish to run for Senate are troubled by the rules that the Election Commission has issued to the point of joining together to file a petition with the Administrative Court requesting an emergency hearing to revoke the regulations. Election Commission regarding the introduction of Senate options in 2024, limiting the rights and freedoms of Senate candidates, especially prohibitions. “Introduce yourself through all kinds of media. Including social media.” The introduction is the same. The Secretary-General of the Election Commission still has a broken record. who stated that they would introduce themselves to the “Senatorship candidate” together, we had to ask who the candidate was. And how can I introduce myself to fellow applicants because I have to wait until the last day for applications to close? To know who is who By posting announcements with only names, no telephone numbers. There is no contact person, or 3 days before the selection day there is only a name and a 5-line history. General applicants Independent candidates know nothing. Will choose a model under ignorance that is conducive to the established system. It is not good for politics,” but it is better than appointing senators who work under debt of gratitude. According to the supervision or according to the orders of the person who appointed and selected the senators, this time they should have more independence in the beginning. After working for a while, they will probably get to know each other better. There may be bad political parties. Dare to act and keep nudging and interfering with the Senator. Or some senators acted as intermediaries to nudge The remaining senators tried to pull Senators came into the group because they had power and duties. Choose an independent organization to inspect the political side. Every hand of the Senate has meaning, so choose someone who is stable in their stance, straightforward and independent. Money can’t buy it. But if you choose someone who doesn’t have a standpoint Stay on the side of the powerful at all times. “In the end, it’s not possible. The Senate is the hope of the people, so there are always questions about whether Thailand should continue to have a Senate or not. Because in the past it was reflected that there was direct election from the people, a council of husbands and a council of wives. The appointment system was based only on the orders of the appointees. And the cross-selection system went in the favor of the establishment party. Mr. Somchai told him to see the picture of the power and duties of the Senate in every aspect. He saw that there was no need for a Senate, for example. The Senate is not necessary, including the role of advising and discussing. Good action for the government Verified by general discussion This matter is hardly necessary. Because the House of Representatives has already done everything. As for the role of overseeing the government’s work in accordance with the 20-year national strategy and national reform plan The Senate works intensively for the government to report every 3 months, ultimately just a regular report. Reform the country in various aspects Not advancing the national strategy for 20 years has been criticized because world society changes very quickly. What is written may be outdated or the approval of those holding independent positions. constitutional organization On the basis of the Senate meeting Not apolitical In the past, it was noted that people were not opposed to the state. Neutrality rarely arises. The question is for the House of Representatives to elect independent committee members. according to intense specs and intensive selection process By designing a special sound A majority of both the government and the opposition may be used. The rules will be stricter, but there are important obstacles. Society has always been accustomed to having a House of Representatives and a Senate. Society is still worried about having a House of Representatives. May lean towards one side that is the majority. It may lead Thailand in the wrong direction. Therefore, it was seen that there was a need for the Senate Election Commission to issue regulations. The Election Commission regarding the introduction of options for senators in 2024 is an obstacle for those wishing to apply for senators and the formula for selecting senators is very strange. Most of the senators who are chosen may not be qualified according to the spirit of the constitution. Mr. Somchai said The purpose is to choose among each other in each career group. In order to create diversity, it is now highly likely that individual applicants will not choose the career group that they are best at. most knowledgeable or spend the most time working in that occupational group But will choose a career group that has little competition. and have the opportunity to become The most senators It is too easy for the Election Commission to certify someone as being in an occupational group. There is only one person who certifies. There is no need for a government agency. Or a legal entity that certifies what occupation they do, unlike MPs who must have evidence of paying taxes for the past 3 years. Therefore, they may get MPs who do not have diversity. But still optimistic, expecting 70-80% entry, and there is still the question of getting knowledgeable people. Is it able to perform legislative duties? These people may not have experience. Both enact laws Serve as a special committee of various committees. In the first year, work may be quite difficult today. The Election Commission still issues unfavorable regulations. Make elections under the cover of darkness blind The Election Commission is still able to fix regulations in time. Don’t stand on one leg and say you can’t fix it. Even though the channel is open for applicants to communicate through various channels, “it must be done between the applicants.” Just this sentence makes the door closed for further action. The Election Commission regulations should be changed to remove the word “distributed to applicants.” together”. The result allows applicants to create a beautiful history on a 2-page A4 document that can be opened to the public. At the very least, the candidates together have information to make their choice and are available to the media for interviews. Listen to your opinion about dictatorship, authoritarianism, democracy, real or fake. Ask the Election Commission to review. Don’t stand on one foot as a rabbit. District committee members know the overall picture. Each career field has applicants. How many senators? It is a loophole that has been sent to the political party. to fill applicants The senator came in to gain an advantage. Mr. Somchai said that if the district chief wants to go to jail, he should clearly make a law prohibiting it. Daily recruitment includes the 7 Election Commission members, one Election Commission office, and any officials involved in the recruitment. Unable to reveal name Number of applicants per day Until the recruitment is complete, if you go to help someone with authority in the area By sending a signal to send information that There are too few applicants for this career group. Hurry and apply. Many famous people apply for this profession. Don’t apply. People who keep the rules must be strict. It is a crime to speak here. Today I have a strategy to tell Mr. Thanathorn. Therefore, Rungruangkit Time to campaign with the people Please go apply in the afternoon on the last day to solve the game of the establishment. It will not be able to prepare to mobilize people to apply in time. It is a way for people to help each other make choices. Senator this time was a good choice. On the principle…a lot of people apply for senator and the results are good. Voters know as much as possible about the chosen people. The Election Commission is also being questioned about the timeline for announcing the results for the certification of 200 senators. Mr. Somchai said that it cannot be done because it is according to the process, there are steps, everything is locked. “The Election Commission .Won’t you announce it? According to the selection process, each level must have results in each round. In the end, the names of 10 people from each occupation group must be obtained. Assuming all 10 people submit a petition, there will be no problem. The Election Commission must announce it first. After that, the fact-finding process took place. No matter how long the exam is, there is no time limit. The results will show that the person was wrong. Then send it to the court to decide whether or not to give a red card according to the Election Commission. If it is found that it is wrong, that person will be removed from the Senate from the day he was chosen, 2 July, and his salary must be returned. Various allowances and promotion to the reserve list If many people are corrupt The list of reserve names is complete and the number of senators is as much as there is. There is no new selection.” Election Commission extends announcement of election results The Senate doesn’t get the election. The Election Commission will have to announce the results of selecting the Senate on July 2, 2024. Political team. Click to read the column. More “Political Analysis”
