Bangkok, Academics point out that if the 'blue senators' monopolize the Senate president, vice president, and committee chairmen, they will be criticized as being inelegant. They suggest giving other senators a chance. They point out that the images of 'Thaksin-Anutin-Sarath' at Khao Yai reflect the influence and relationship of the coalition parties. Mr. Olar Tinbangtiew, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Political Science and Law, Burapha University, talked about the election of the Senate President and Vice President tomorrow (July 23) which there are rumors that the Blue Line Senators have already selected candidates for the positions that if we look at the relationship between the Senators who are very close to the Blue Line Party and are trying to maintain a balance in the lower house or MPs, even though the Pheu Thai government is an ally of the old power group that is looking to rely on the Blue Line, but in terms of etiquette and legitimacy, the new breed of Senators can send people to compete for the positions, which will not depend on the votes. And the Blue Line Senators should be flexible because their background has been criticized as being suspicious, coupled with the failure and inefficiency of the EC in organizing the Senate election. If the Blue Line Senators control all 3 positions, it may damage the image of the Senators, for example, the President, First Vice President of the Senate, and Second Vice President of the Senate should come from other groups to create a balance of power. Mr. Olar also said that if the blue senators control the upper house, the balance of important laws, fearing that they will be amended, such as the constitution or laws that affect the status and interests of the elite, will see the role of this group of senators. In addition, the appointment of people to positions in independent organizations will be important for the blue side or the old power that wants someone to control them in order to control the government again because they do not trust the Pheu Thai govern ment and believe that it will have a binding effect on the appointment of various committee chair positions as well. 'The position of the vice president of the Senate should be flexible to accommodate the positions of civil society senators or new-gen senators. At the same time, the position of the committee should average out and allocate benefits to cover representatives of various groups. If you ask if the blue-line senators can take all of them, they can, but there will be more criticism. If they take this opportunity to get both the chairman and the deputy chairman and control the committee chairman, they can do so, but it would not be elegant. They should give other senators the opportunity to take responsibility for this part,' said Mr. Olar. Mr. Olar also mentioned the pictures of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul, Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited CEO Sarath Ratanavadi, as well as ministers and Pheu Thai MPs at Khao Yai last weekend, saying that the pictures are undeniably linked to politics. They are pictures of key political figures, representatives of capital groups, and representatives of unconstitutional power who play an important role in the administration of this government. It shows that Mr. Thaksin has influence over the country's main capital groups, reflecting the relationship of the coalition parties. One picture shows the conflict between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai parties over the cannabis policy, but this picture reflects that politics is about negotiation. Political conflict never really exists. If the interests are right, it clearly reflects the intention to release news and pictures to help publicize the current political power structure and the relationship of the coalition parties.
