Thailand's efforts toward democracy have been repeatedly thwarted by military interference in the affairs of government. The people of Thailand should immediately demand that the junta turn power over to the people. The junta’s power comes not from democracy, but rather from guns. At the same time, comprehensive constitutional reform is needed to establish the principle of One World under One Set of Laws, implementing a modified semi-presidential form of government with parliament and cabinet, with the heads of the four branches of government elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
