There are no positions to be taken, the parties have only left the coalition, they're still members of parliament. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the five independent parties join the opposition, their seat numbers will increase to 251, a simple majority in the lower house. There is growing speculation that opposition MPs may table a no-confidence motion against the government of premier Prayut Chan-o-cha, raising worries over the government's survival Interesting chess game coming up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great opportunity for the PTP / Future Forward Party to offer to support their independent agenda, gain majority for a no-confidence vote. That might even flip some of the pro-military coalition MP's who might be disappointed with Prayut's leadership already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think over priced champaign will be flying off the shelves if cha cha was sent home with that smug look on his face. Most Thais I know can't wait to see him go.

Popular Post Eligius Posted August 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) The current manifestation of a militarist-backed regime will inevitably collapse (probably within a year or less) - as many of us are predicting; but another coup is clearly (as many of us are equally saying) already in the planning and in the offing ... Nothing can save Thailand now - except the millions and millions of Thai people. I still see no sign of those millions doing anything that will truly restore their liberty. And thus - plus the fact that I'm sick and tired of frequent censorship - I don't really plan to post much more on this Forum. It's all pretty pointless. The masses of the Thais have made - and will continue to make - their decision. Period. End of story. I have my own life to lead. Let the Thais get on with theirs - in the way that, through their non-action, they have chosen ... Edited August 11, 2019 by Eligius 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 8 hours ago, rooster59 said: Recently, Mongkolkit Suksintaranon, leader of the Thai Civilized Party, said that five small parties -- Thai Civilized Party, Palung Thai Ruk Thai Party, New Democrat Party, Thai People’s Justice Party, and Thai Teachers for People Party -- who together have five house seats, had decided to leave the ruling coalition and work as an independent opposition. Did they return the money they received for being traitors to their own voters? Or, perhaps the problem is, they didn't actually get the money they were promised??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madmitch Posted August 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2019 You'd think that the Government losing its majority would be a major news item but, no, it seems to be tucked away below stories of a kid with a pot on his head and the nation's opportunity to become pot-heads of a different kind. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Did they ewally expect it to last, making up the rules as we go along to get the majority. These parties did not get 32,000 votes but they want a lot of say. They got what a rigged system gets you Edited August 11, 2019 by moe666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonthai Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The elites run out of cash so fast, those up to 120mln per head of MP was not enough or has never materialise in full (they were promised in instalments). Interesting to know the reason, as it clearly wasn’t given yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next party to leave the coalition will most likely to be the Thai Forest Conservative Party. The party has 2 MP seats.

Grossman Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Time for some delusional brouhaha against a few more opposition MPs to keep the balance on the side of the good peoples. The looney Parina is certainly doing an exemplary job on that front.. And eventually it's "Bring out the gimp" -time with Apirat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
