MFP dismisses suggestion Pheu Thai could leave coalition over Speaker post

[snoop1130]

 

The deputy leader of Move Forward says the party remains insistent on getting the House Speaker post, despite Pheu Thai wanting it. Sirikanya Tansakul says her party needs the post in order to get 45 draft bills over the line, having promised voters to do so.

 

The deputy leader says she doesn’t believe the issue will cause the Pheu Thai Party to leave the newly-formed coalition, adding that, as the party that won the most seats in the House, Move Forward has a right to demand the Speaker post. She says the party has a number of qualified candidates, adding that youth should not be considered a problem.

 

“Otherwise, there will be no change.”

We should be accustomed to these tabloid practices already, as that's all they do.
