Opposition parties have agreed to hold a no-confidence debate against the government, tentatively in early April, after the passage of the 2024 budget bill.

 

Chaithawat Tulathon, Move Forward and opposition leader, said today that a motion will be sent to House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha on March 13th, to seek a no-confidence debate under Section 152 of the Constitution, meaning that there will not be a vote after the debate.

 

He said that the opposition parties agreed that there are sufficient grounds to censure the government because, after about six months in office, it has not fulfilled the promises made to the electorate during the election campaign and has also failed to achieve anything substantial.

Go for it...

As I said when this was posited last wk the digital wallet should be enough for a vote of no confindence. Will be interesting but I'm sure the non-eleceted govt will have some sort of work around. I hope not though.

The new party in control of the government did not get a majority vote of the electorate. It represents the minority and that's what the People get.

Here we go again - politicians playing politics and not governing for the people - Thailand needs stability.
