Of course MP's have a right - the Senate represents the people - the people elected MP's to represent them - they have every right

Just looking at this Speaker's face fills me with confidence in the goodness of his character: doesn't he look so morally clean, pure, benevolent, ethical, upright, filled with honesty and integrity?

 

I am sure you will agree!

Yes, he is a most honourable man.

Oh? So a democratically elected member of the lower house has no right to question the selection process of the senate?

In exactly the same way as democratically-elected members of the House of Commons have no right to question the selection process of the House of Lords back the UK. So not peculiar to Thailand.

Are senators in the uk appointed by the person that got into power via a coup? I am also guessing they do not get to vote on who becomes the PM either. This situation is very peculiar to Thailand. Suggesting that it is simular to the british system is ludicrous

Remember when Prayut promised transparency?????

Two of the least transparent governments (around the globe) are both claiming to be the most transparent.

Coincidence or trend!

In the motion, submitted to House of Representatives, the opposition questioned the legitimacy of the 250 senators and sought a debate on the issue of regulations regarding the selection of the senators, the selection process, conflicts of interest and the 1.3 billion baht spent.

 

1.3 billion divided by 250= lol
