Senior members of the Democrat Party said the leaving of high-profile members in recent days had minimal impact on the party. However, some are concerned that more MPs could leave before the next general election.

 

Three members of the party, including list-MP Apichai Techa-ubon, former Bangkok MP Ekkanat Phromphan, and former Songkhla MP Prai Pattano have all resigned from the party in recent days. 

 

“The party’s administrative board has yet to discuss the reasons for the resignations,” Ramate Rattanachaweng, the spokesman of the party, told Thai Enquirer by phone on Thursday.

That might be a trick, as there's only one trough to feed from.

Not a belief, but more of a firm understanding.

Obvious that some don't get it.

Unfortunately all feed from different troughs called the kickbacks from the projects they oversee and approve and then the backhanders do not go to the others.   Look at the Futsal court scandal and tell me they (all in Government) were in on the graft and the trough feeding.
