thailandโ��s political scene will still be chaotic in the year 2012, a key bhumjaithai party figure says.

somsak thepsuthin on monday predicted that politics would goes through further difficulties because both the government and opposition would continue to create conditions to aid their own political causes.

these included, for instance, the amendment of the defence ministry administration act, the push for an amnesty bill to pave the way for the return of former premier thaksin shinawatra, and the return of an ordinary passport to him, which had already been done.

he said the government and the opposition were competing vengefully and emotionally, instead of rationally.

mr somsak warned violence could flare up again if the government is determined to press ahead with its controversial agendas, especially the drive to amend the defence act, which will only increase the political temperature.

the amendment of the defence act, which many view as a sensitive issue, would give the government greater influence over the reshuffling of senior military officers.

the government should move fast to alter article 291 of the charter to open the way for the charter drafting assembly (cda) to be set up, former acting leader of the defunct thai rak thai party chaturon chaisaeng said on sunday.

mr chaturong said the cda should be set up before the end of the current parliamentary session, about three months from now, otherwise the constitutional amendments will not be completed in one year as the prime minister had declared.

the government should at this stage aim at only changing article 291 to get the cda to consider changes to the charter to make it more democratic, he added.

if there are other points that need to be rewritten, government mps can later on proposed them to the cda for consideration, mr chaturon said.
