"Debate on the lese-majeste law won't be able to reach a common consensus as its language centres on the institution majority Thais love and hold in high respect".

What sort of debate is it when one side is gagged, under threat of ban or lengthy jail terms?

How can it be an informed debate when there is no transparency, when only worship is allowed, and when books that have a different viewpoint are banned?

Resolve those issues, and its quite like that the majority will be able to reach a consensus, but it's unlikely to be the same as the one pronounced/imposed from above!
