re: "Poll date must be set" (Editorial, June 27)
Dear editor,
There was never any good reason for the coup, which would appear to have been staged because some wanted to serve themselves a bigger slice of the Thai nation's wealth without earning it. Certainly, the public discussion needed to support any such extravagant a claim as that a coup was needed to benefit the Thai nation has never taken place, and the incredible fantasy of eradicating corruption was never less incredible than an election promise; rather, a hungry group decided for their own reasons to stage the coup which they were planning in detail whilst promising that there would be no such violation of the Thai people, in whom, according to section 3 of the Thai constitution, lies the sovereign power of the Thai nation — a moral and legal principle that the ruling politicians have ignored for more than four years.
The series of false promises from 2014 to return the Thai nation to the Thai people from whom it was taken by overthrowing the supreme legal foundation of the nation attest to the true nature of the collusion to trample the democratic wishes of the people into the dirt and silence their voice in the affairs of the their own nation. None of this is excusable. It is, rather, the epitome of corruption: corrupt rule of law, corrupt morals and corrupt acts that strictly follow the corrupt laws corruptly made up enable that legalized corruption.
