[webfact]

 

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES today (Jan.5) cast an overwhelming approval in principle for the 2024 budget bill.

 

After three long days of floor debate on the budget bill, 311 MPs cast yea votes for the bill whilst 177 others cast nay votes.

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin pledged to put varied policies of the Pheu Thai-led coalition government to work to maintain and promote optimum national and public interests with the 3.48 trillion baht budget, which accounts for a 9.3% increase from last fiscal year and a 693 billion baht budget deficit.

Overwhelming... that's debatable.

Of course it went smoothly.  None of the privileged few are going to vote against a place at the division of the spoils.
