Deputy leader of the Bhumjai Thai Party, Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, leader o f the Kaewklai Party, Mr. Wutthisan Tanchai, a highly qualified academic. Participate in the discussion Hosted by Mr. Weera Teerapat Mr. Chusak said that every political party It was founded with the desire to apply all policies to manage the nation for the benefit of the people. There probably isn't any political party that has been established. Said he would be in opposition for the rest of his life. Most political parties have good intentions and want to run the country. Mr. Chusak said that political parties in Thailand Instead, there are many restrictions on activities or operations for the benefit of the people. As provided in the 2017 Constitution, for example, outsiders are prohibited from taking over political parties. It is written in the political party law. which is punishable up to the dissolution of the party which we are criticizing at the moment or any action to be interpreted as being guilty overthrow the government The main issue driving political parties at this time That is, it is necess ary to look primarily at the provisions of the Constitution. But what is clear is that the constitutional provisions that emerged after the coup tend to be especially strict on political parties, such as the nature of selecting candidates. MPs who must request opinions from district representatives Each constituency must have a representative of that political party. makes it complicated and chaotic 'In summary, a political party was established. but is controlled by state power causing a lack of independence and continuity I don't agree with having a law to dissolve political parties. In order to make the political parties have the courage I think it's time to create professional politicians who can run the country. Because even though there are many politicians But all of them already had other occupations. Including the need to amend the constitution to make it more democratic,' Mr. Chusak said. Mr. Wutthisan said that the role of the establishment of each political party is to have the same ideology The establishment of political parties in Thailand Most of them come from a starting point of common interests. for coming to power But there is still no clear political ideology as it should be. As for the question of how political parties can build the nation? You have to look at the system of political parties that are like representatives of the people. Both the matter of trust from the people given to Both the matter of enumerating the problems of the people Moreover, it is important that representatives of political parties act in a contract with the people. That is, if the policy is presented and must be made to the people. Mr. Wutthisan said that political parties are governed by law as to whether every political party acts as a contract to give or not. And there were many more questions. Whether it can really be done or not In spite of the fact that Political parties have not initiated policies immediately. If there are many limits on which policies can actually be implemented or not, It will not cause development. The most obvious answer to policy is that the people will be the ones to decide which policies are good or bad. It is not the tools that decide whether a policy is feasible or a bad policy. Meanwhile, Mr. Chaithawat said that the important thing in allowing political parties to build the nation is to elevate themselves. But the rules themselves also play an important role in determining the role of political parties. And another obvious limitation in the current constitution is The matter of policy determination of each political party in the city That is often limited like many people say that the policy can be done or not, or will there be changes that cause problems or not? It is only a few people who determine whether this policy will deceive the public or not. Or does it cause financial and fiscal discipline problems? Do it for that reality. The most important thing about good politics It is to adhere to the belief that the people have the highest power in the country. Or are people's basic rights and freedoms protected? It is not humans who set the rules for what makes a political party good. is a political party that has not been dissolved or there is no implementation of a particular policy In addition, it is also seen that at present the Political Development Fund is allocated to adjust the level of political parties. But there are very difficult procedures to use and do not truly strengthen political parties. 'I believe that if the party moves forward it will not win the election with this many votes. would not be disbanded by the party If we want to make democracy strong, political parties must be easy to form. Easy to operate, difficult to kill, do not collapse,' Mr. Chaithawat said. Mr. Paradorn said political parties should be dissolved by the people. Because political parties arise from the people The life or death of a political party Therefore it must depend on the people as well. As a political person, I feel pain and worry about whether the party will be dissolved from doing poli tics or not. I would like to see politics that compete with each other to present political, economic, and educational viewpoints. In the 2019 and 2023 elections, political parties compete only with who they are. Who is the dictator? Who is democratic? But in reality, political parties should compete more on policy. Source: Thai News Agency
