Freedom on the march!

I think that the Decider(TM) should take a good hard look at the new constitution proposed for Thailand. Perhaps he could get a few pointers. I'm sure that he would be more than happy to operate under a system that would, as described by the Christian Science Monitor, prevent "future politician from using a popular mandate to challenge the status quo. Instead, the framers appear to favor a partial democracy that reins in the powers of elected representatives and keeps their ambitions in check." It's not exactly that dictatorship you were so looking forward to but it is certainly headed in that direction!
