Online news:

The government’s joint committee studying the 2007 charter on Monday resolved that it would go ahead with the third and final reading of the controversial amendment bill in parliament.

The 11-member committee led by Pokin Polakul made the decision after they sought advice from five academics.

They were Gothom Areeya, the director of the Peace Studies Centre at Mahidol University, Wutthisarn Tanchai, deputy secretary-general of King Prajadhipok’s Institute, Nonthaburi senator Direk Thuengfang, Somchai Preechasilpakul, a law lecturer at Chiang Mai University, and Sombat Thamrongtanyawong, rector of the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida).

Sounds like a good plan.....Disc 1 : all changes are available in the charter bill for those that can read and stay awake, that is the purpose of having a reading of the amendment (:

'There must be a vote on the charter amendment bill in the third reading during the House-Senate joint sitting...'

'There must be a vote'. It is called democracy but what would do Thaksin/PTP know about that ?

They have missed out the 4th and most important issue.

4. Govt must transparently present ALL proposed changes to the charter bill during the referendum.
