Deadline

It seems that the political parties in the CA will miss the deadline for resolving the contentious issues by 6 September 2014 as reported in “End Parliament obstruction: PM” (THT, 31 August, Page 1). Looking at their political activities, there does not seem any indication so far that they will be able to come to a consensus and proceed with the CA calendar.

The ruling parties and opposition are heading towards confrontation. If they miss the deadline, it is for sure that this will entirely affect the CA calendar. This will make it very difficult to bring out the first draft of new constitution by mid October. If the ruling parties continue to settle the issues through voting process, drafting of the new constitution may get hampered.
