What’s wrong with Abhisit giving his opinion on charter?
Play
I don’t understand why Mr Songdej thinks it’s so terrible that former prime minister Abhisit has urged people to vote “no” on the referendum (Letters, Aug 3).
As a Thai citizen doesn’t Mr Abhisit have a right to give his opinion? Certainly the junta isn’t shy about giving theirs.
If those who oppose the constitutional proposals are not given the same opportunity to make their case as those who support it, then what is the point in having a referendum in the first place? Why doesn’t the junta just declare that this is going to be the new constitution whether people like it or not?
Wouldn’t that be more honest?
