Over 100 ex-MPs quit parties on the last day of party membership registration

 

 

Over 100 politicians, mostly members of the trouble-plagued Pheu Thai party, showed up at the office of the Election Commission on Monday to submit their resignations from their original parties to switch political affiliation in what was seen as a mass exodus on the last day of party membership registration.

 

Failing to apply for membership of a party within November 26 deadline means the loss of the chance to contest the forthcoming election tentatively scheduled on February 24.

 

Some of the defectors told the media of the new parties they intended to join while others said they were not sure they would be able to join the new parties in time after their resignations on Monday.

Another example of poor journalism? The way the article is written they should have applied for membership yesterday, not just resigned and " considering"another party, right?

Great show of political loyalty to the PTP.the trough is empty so jump on to a party that has a chance of opening another trough.i bet taksin ain't too pleased and he will be on the run for the rest of his life.rats leaving the sinking ship comes to mind with these politicians who don't give a toss about the policies of other parties but just want power whoever they have to collude with.
