Smaller pro-government parties told no House dissolution if they cooperate

[webfact]

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told leaders of the governing coalition and smaller pro-government parties that there would be no reason for him to dissolve the House if they all cooperate with each other and support the government.

 

The assurance was offered during an informal dinner meeting last night (Thursday).

 

One of the leaders of a smaller party, Ravee Matchamadol, said that he believes, after the meeting, that the government will be more stable and any elements seeking to topple the government will be disappointed.

 

He claimed that there were no demands for cabinet seats from small parties during the get-together,

adding that the leaders of small parties, who earlier dined with Thammanat Prompao, former secretary-general of the Palang Pracharath party (PPRP), were also present last night.

Sounds like a veiled threat "Do as I say or else...."
