webfact Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 By James Wilson The opposition Move Forward and Pheu Thai parties told Thai Enquirer this week there will be consequences for members who voted in support of the government during a no-confidence poll at the weekend. “There will be repercussions against MPs who voted against party lines,” said Pheu Thai deputy leader Pichai Naripthanphan. Seven MPs from each party broke ranks in Saturday morning’s poll, which saw Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha comfortably survive the no-confidence vote along with five cabinet ministers.

khunPer Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 From the article...The censure motion secured 208 votes against Prayut, falling short of the 242 needed to oust him. The premier received 264 supporting votes from the 482-vote parliament. Isn't that how democracy works, just one vote majority is needed, and it seems like the senators didn't vote here...????

zzaa09 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Wouldn't it be nice if there existed true independent opposition? Most are so easily suckered into the usual theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy: Something people demand when they think it will get them what they want but suddenly fiercely oppose when things don't go their way. Freedom of speech: Demanding the right to say whatever you want while silencing anyone who disagrees with you or says something you do not like.

It is, in principle, until that vote is sold to the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
