Setback for Thailand’s Democrat Party as key legal expert resigns

[webfact]

 

The Democrat Party has suffered a setback as its former legal team chief and veteran politician, Tawil Praisont, quits to join the opposition Move Forward Party.

 

Democrat Party’s Spokesman Ramet Rattanachaweng said last night that he was shocked over and regrets the departure of Tawil, adding that the he has been instrumental in handling the party’s legal affairs.

 

He said that Tawil was responsible for vetting every bill drafted by the party and is an expert in such work. He said he called Tawil yesterday, after he had missed a couple of calls from him, to ask him whether he was leaving the Democrat party and, if so, to join which other party.

The only way Democrats have been in power was through preceding military coups and banishment of opposition political parties. With its voting base reduced now to insignificant, not much Tawil can do.

Better to leave on his own accord than be diminished. He didn't even give notice and appears the Dems didn't initially notice his absence.

Yeah. A lovely and championed tale of changed loyalties, yet nothing will really come of it.
