Thais have been engaged in a long struggle for political freedom and a restoration of democracy. Over the past couple of years that struggle has started to focus more and more on the power of the Thai King. AERM Lives will be joined by a Thai activist to look at the Thai monarchy and the role it plays in Thailand’s tumultuous politics.
We want to see the monarchy abolished and the King replaced with an elected, democratic head of state, not running the government but representing the nation independently of our politicians. An elected, effective head of state.
