10 days before the national budget bill for 2020 fiscal year is due to be debated in parliament, Opposition leader Sompong Amornvivat announced today that his MPS will not vote for the bill “because the Opposition has never voted in support before”.

 

Mr. Sompong, who is also Pheu Thai party leader, said that the Opposition’s refusal to vote for the budget bill might not, however, cause the bill to be rejected.  If the bill fails to go through the House, though, he said he was not sure whether Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha would show responsibility (by resigning) “because, on several previous occasions, he did not show any responsibility as he should have done.”

 

While insisting that he did not object to defence spending to procure new armaments, Mr. Sompong said that the spending must be appropriate, citing the case of submarines from China, a purchase with which he disagreed because it was unnecessary.

Vows are worth as much as the paper they're printed on in Thailand.
