PM, parties to discuss draft

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont has called a meeting with political party leaders next Tuesday to discuss the draft constitution, government spokesman Yongyuth Mayalarp said yesterday.
The meeting will be held at Government House, said Yongyuth, adding the prime minister believed the comments from party leaders would benefit the constitution drafting."The government is open for all sides to participate in the charter drafting and will forward all suggestions to the constitution drafters," he said. There are 44 registered political parties. Yongyuth said the Cabinet would also hold a meeting to discuss the draft tomorrow and opinions would be sent to the constitution writers next Wednesday. The government believes if all sides come together to share ideas for the new constitution, the draft has a real chance of passing a national referendum in September. The Nation
