Nikom: Charter change will happen

The move for constitutional amendment by a number of senators and government MPs will succeed and would unlock the political deadlock, Senate Speaker Nikom Wairatpanich said on Thursday.

Mr Nikom said he had such confidence because the proposed changes would resolve problems caused by the exisiting constitution.

He said Article 237 must be altered because the dissolution a political party undermined the party system. The proposed amendment to Article 190, on international agreements, would strengthen the country’s competitiveness in the world community.

    K Nikom, when a politician makes a declaration about something to be done for the well-being of the nation, what is in essence what you do, is the moment when I start to worry about some very bad things to happen for the population... I am not Thai, but this is IMO valid for all countries. And in all, truly democratic countries, I know, you would have to resign for making party political declarations as Senate Speaker! This is much worse than a General saying something about a TV debate!
