re: "Senate must walk its talk" (BP, Editorial, September 20, 2023)
Dear editor,
The Post writes that "It is hoped that the Upper House will display the high ethical standards they demanded in selecting prime ministerial candidates." This is confusing. The senate did not demand "high ethical standards" at all. It was, on the contrary, that party's unusually high ethical standards, which had won Move Forward the support of the electorate, that offended the senate appointed by former prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to do exactly what it did. It is unlikely that more than a single digit percentage of Thai voters suspect this senate of engaging in ethical conduct.
