Thai politicians caught breaking rules face lifetime ban

Naughty politicians breaking rules on morals and ethics could face a lifetime ban from politics.

The Consitutition Drafting Commission is planning the move as it says it wants to crack down on corruption and set the bar higher for Thai politicians.

Chairman Meechai Ruchupan said the panel was thinking about enforcing strict moral and ethical standards, according to The Nation.

“Everybody, especially those in the field of politics, must conform to moral and ethical standards, otherwise they will be dismissed and banned for life from politics,” he said.

Let’s see if there are any politicians left in the country after that.
