At this stage of the proceedings, the difference between a 1997-style MMM and
Krirkkiat’s MMP should certainly have been obvious.
42 With a 400 to 100 formula in the election of 2005, TRT would have gained 10 PL
MPs, and the Democrats 26. In 2007, with a 400 to 80 formula, the People’s Power
Party would have gained 6 PL MPs, while the Democrats could claim 70. Finally,
with the 375 to 125 formula applied in the 2011 election, Phuea Thai could have
claimed 58 more PL MPs, while the Democrats would have gained 75 PL MPs.
43 Uthit used to be the mayor of Songkhla municipality (thereby placing him firmly in
the Democrat and Prem Tinsulanonda networks), and then moved up to become the
directly elected executive chairperson of Songkhla’s Provincial Administrative Organization
(PAO). In late 2012, he made headlines for an alleged involvement in the
murder of his successor as Nakorn Songkhla municipal mayor (Santiparp 2012).
44 Some readers might prefer the word “public” to “audience.” The use of “audience”
in the present context refers to Luhmann’s earlier distinction of three subsystems of
the political system, namely administration, politics, and audience (Luhmann 1990;
see also his posthumously published The Politics of Society, Luhmann 2000).
