Communication problem blamed for government’s parliamentary defeat

Communication problems among the ruling coalition parties are being blamed for the government’s first defeat in the lower House on Thursday, which concerned House regulation No 9 regarding the House speaker’s impartiality.

 

The opposition won the vote to have House regulation No 9 amended to mandate the House speaker’s impartiality in his/her performance of duty by 204:205 votes. Both House speaker Chuan Leekpai and his deputy, Suchart Tancharoen abstained, as is traditional, and five smaller parties in the coalition government declared themselves an “independent opposition”.

 

The Government’s deputy whip, Mr. Chinnavorn Boonyakiat, said today that the defeat was cause for grave concern due to the government’s slim majority in the lower House, and he warned that the government would be in a big trouble if it is defeated votes on major legislation.

I think you can safely change that to WHEN it is defeated on major legislation !

As the whip, it's your responsibility to ensure that you have the winning vote BEFORE  the session. Either you dropped the ball or there are truth that you have rebellion in your camp.

The government failed to communicate. They did not say "You are to vote this way our else you will be shot". So defeat of the government in the first sitting, so now out will come the big guns from a man? who could not even recite the oath correctly and refuses to resign until the issue is settled by the Constitutional Court.

How  can they communicate when there  mouths are full of shit? ...rude to speak with your mouthful.

Whilst it is almost inevitable that the guns will come out, and probably sooner rather than later, I doubt that he will be the one calling the shots. There is a new order coming, within the ruling establishment...

Your telling the world you're a democracy, (even though it's Thai style democracy) so get used to loosing on some issues.  Stop the nonsense excuse of misunderstanding and communication and just get on with it.
