A joint meeting of the Senate and House adjourned without convening yesterday (Wednesday) due to the absence of a quorum, after a number of senators and MPs boycotted the session, apparently in an attempt to prevent the passage of an electoral bill amendment, to define 500 as the basis for the calculation of the allocation of party-list seats.

 

It was the third such incident in the joint meeting in this parliamentary session.

 

MPs from Palang Pracharath, the core government party, opposition Pheu Thai party and the Thai Economic party were among those who boycotted the meeting, forcing the president of the parliament, Chuan Leekpai, to adjourn the meeting.

Pathetic 

Nothing to do with it being peak holiday season in Europe so many might be visiting their offspring rather than attending Parliament?

Sack them all

Being addressed by an unelected PM with only a Military Academy education and a low IQ like other ordinary Thai's would be enough to put real politicians off.
