Poll body takes dim view of ‘world-changing’ partyA fascination with space has led Mongkolkit Suksintharanon to propose some novel policies in his role as PM candidate for the New Alternative Party. (Photo: มงคลกิตติ์ สุขสินธารานนท์)The “world-changing” policies of Mongkolkit Suksintharanon and his New Alternative Party have attracted the attention of the Election Commission, which has observed that some of them might break electoral laws for being impossible to fulfill. It is not known exactly which policies the poll body was referring to. Perhaps it was the party’s proposal to allow Thais to marry aliens, or to build a Thai space industry capable of taking tourists to the moon. Phitsanulok-born Mr Mongkolkit, 44, has been involved on the fringes of Thai politics for nearly two decades.
