Samak signals a compromise over charter rewrite

Samak hinted that the government would leave it up to Parliament to debate and decide on constitutional changes.

He said he was no longer push for the cancellation or rewrite of Article 309, seen as an attempt to nullify the junta's decrees on graft proceedings involving former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The amendments should focus on the electoral rules, such as the constituency zoning and the reintroduction of completelyelected Senate, he added.
