The 2017 Constitution currently in use is not intended to make the country democratic. but in order to inherit the power of the coup d’état This caused the results of the election of MPs to be at odds with dozens of parties getting MPs into parliament. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a multi-party coalition government. The Constitution has a Cabinet of 35 people, including a Prime Minister of 36 and usually has up to 6 Deputy Prime Ministers or half a dozen people because it is a multi-party coalition government.
