Thailand Constitution Rewrite

The Constitution is only a framework designed to provide check and balances, accountability and transparency to fight the sins of our past history of corruption. Those against this framework wants to return to the sins of our past because it is a successful business model for them and the only game they know in which they have evolved into masters. Since the elections this inner circle has observed that the sins of the past can be returned to and continued into the future because Thailand has not provided a workable alternative to the framework and this inner circle of people have joyously concluded that once again they are the only game in town.
The framework has given us valuable time in the past few months to provide an alternative model to the sins of our past. Instead of, taking advantage of the past few months in developing a workable alternative plan of action, we have sit on the sidelines and observed the slow but sure step by step return to the sins of our past. The people have played by the rules of Democracy by voting and sending politicians to represent the people. Now the people are waiting for a workable alternative to the sins of our past. In other words, where is our Senator Obama that has pledged to change the way Washington D.C. is influenced by special interest and lobbyist and finally let the voice of the people be heard in Washington D.C. also alongside special interests. With no workable alternative we are doomed to continue our sins of the past simple because there will be no alternative when there is only one game in town to vote for. The only one game in town has been made quite clear and under this scenario will continue to be voted for by the people.

The world record commodities prices as stated by the United Nations and many others, has given us a small window of opportunity to use the profits to develop our agriculture sector. The economy, financial sector, inflation and private and foreign investment have all been put on hold by the political crisis. This window of opportunity does not stay open long. Just as in Thailand some in the Global financial community are fighting efforts of a regulation framework to provide accountability, disclosure and transparency to avoid another global crisis. Simply because they have also become masters of the only game in town serving the needs of the few.

The people are anxiously waiting to see if this window of opportunity will be closed or will we have an alternative before the window is closed. Perhaps the foreign investors has posed the question better will the Thai Constitution be rewritten or not? For they two must first wait to see which rules of the game they will be forced to play by, the sins of our past or a workable alternative.
