PM Says He Will Decide if House Should Be Dissolved

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK, March 15 (TNA) – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said whether the House should be dissolved or not would depend on his decision and he would base it on situations.

 

He was responding to Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon’s earlier remark on the same day that the House can be dissolved after the government hosts the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum late this year.

 

Gen Prayut said Gen Prawit already informed him of the remark and told him that it was a personal assessment.

 

Gen Prayut confirmed his planned meeting with representatives of coalition parties on March 17. He said that it would be their normal meeting and have nothing to do with any alleged conflict.

Of course the PM is the only one who can dissolve parliament, which would in fact dissolve his cabinet and a new election would be needed with a caretaker government including a caretaking PM put in place before hand.  Of course this PM would never allow any of that to happen, he still has the remainder of his 20 year roadmap to complete before he leaves office.  Hello President Chan O Cha regent for life.

What about a "vote of no confidence" passing or HM calling for it?

[ikke1959]

Indeed He is in charge with everything and announced several times he will stay till the end.... So no dissolutions at all. Sometimes there is weed that you can't get rid off , whatever you try 

[baboon]

Can't the both of them not just p!ss off and leave the country be? Fat, smug self-satisfied vermin both. They ought to be in the dock at The Hague, the filthy scum.

who elected you to decide such matters

[smedly]

the west right now are intoducing rules that seem to target only Russian theives and their laundering, why do these rules so far only apply to Russians  ?

 

We have plenty of scope with other countries and their leaders including Thailand who farm their ill gotten gains all over the world ................ apply the rules to them all 

 

and where did this money come from that you used to buy millions worth of properties and buy up assets (launder) in the west, prove where the money came from or we will confiscate it .....................pipe dream

 

but seriously, it is not just Russians that are stealing from their people and buying stuff outside their home countries .............................

 

How does a cop or general in Thailand end up with huge sums of money  and is able to buy up millions in assets in the west ........................... the rules must apply to all 

[candide]

As before (I.e. the coup), Prayut will do what he is told to do.

Indeed. Commies are commies but at least these little boys are not threatening to blow up the world like that deranged inhuman thug. They’re not in the same league... Prayut is a tool but he is Mary Poppins in comparison and could easily be whipped into line if he gets all silly.

" based on situations". => What a Statesman! ROFLOL

The more farang that are mad, the more you know Prayuthkhun is doing the right thing.

Yeah, but who is Thailand going to try and annex first ? Only real country they could try that on is Laos, and the subs would be no use there !

[JonnyF]

His style is becoming more and more dictatorial as his 'reign' continues.

 

I think he's got his eyes on a Xi style job for life. 

 

Pity Thailand.

Somebody has to tell me the difference of the present circus in the government house compared to the days of Phibul and Sarit except that their VIP flights are leaving from Swampy and no longer from Don Meuiouioung airport ???? 

[spidermike007]

Why would the comrade dissolve parliament, when in his mind he believes he is PM for life? And this is the same guy who said it would be a short lived caretaker government, only until things calmed down. Oh, the taste of power, glory, and massive fortune.

A troll post has been removed.

Well that is one way to deep six the proposed bill to break the alcohol monopoly!!!

[outsider]

This coming from someone who DID NOT want to be the PM, promised he would step aside as soon as things 'were resolved' and kept insisting thereafter he has no wish to continue as a PM. This Fishstop ChaCha is nothing but a load of bullpoop.

Like that would ever happen with a room full of appointed senators and the big man already calling the shots, thats in my view.  The PM is just a figurehead.

House MP's can call for VNC. But a successful VNC requires a simple majority vote of the House MP's. But Prayut's pro-military coalition has repeatedly voted against no confidence.

The PM can unilaterally dissolve Parliament.

But a simple majority of House MP's in a vote of no confidence can also dissolve Parliament. But given that Prayut's pro-military coalition has repeatedly votes successfully against a VNC, it would be up to Prayut to dissolve the House otherwise.

It's in the Constitution that received a majority approval from Thai voters in a referendum.
