re: "Minority government idea floated" (BP, June 1)
Dear editor,
Perhaps Seree Suwannapanont, freshly minted senator and former loyal member of the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), doesn't have it quite right when he asserts that "If the government is not corrupt and works efficiently, there is no need for it to have more than half of the MPs to protect it."
The more accurate statement might be that if the government is truly corrupt and works not all efficiently, there is no need for it to have more than half of the MPs to protect it, since it will be able to force itself on the unwilling Thai nation under the bespoke charter make up to enable such abuses in collusion with a senate duly stuffed with loyal men.
And this is the end product of five years of dictatorship? It all sounds too expected as a harbinger of what looms.
