BANGKOK – Paiboon Nititawan, Secretary-General of the Palang Pracharath Party, announced that party leader Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan has instructed MPs to join opposition parties in filing a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

 

The motion, invoking Article 151 of the Constitution, stems from concerns over the PM's perceived weakness and inexperience in international negotiations, particularly following a controversial conversation with Cambodia's Hun Sen.

 

Gen. Prawit has emphasised the importance of this action, even though the new cabinet has yet to be fully established.

Good for Prawit... Someone needed to step up to the plate and call her out on this.. She is clearly a patsy and when left alone without daddy to tell her what to say she has no clue how to deal with other leaders.

Would losing a no confidence vote trigger an election, or just a change of PM within the same coalition by a vote in the existing Parliament? Everyone knows Prawit wants to be PM... but through a general election, he and his party doesn't have much chance.

And no clue how to deal with anything.

 

What has she actually said / done to defuse / cancel this situation? Nothing.

The toad has awoken

Is this the frontend or backend of his yawn...

Thai politicians lack the DNA of voluntary resignation—instead, they cling to power relentlessly, even if it means paving the way for a military takeover.

First time I've seen of him in parliament and awake

It will simply be the trigger for yet another coup...

Will he be targeting her with a right hook?

What you really mean is cling to the money thread.

Children, come fast and have a look, the pudding can talk ............ 

Go back to nap, old geezer, focus on things you understand something. Sure she got lured onto thin ice which broke in but what does one expect from an inexperienced "politician"; Thaksin and Hun Sen, both are to blame for having thrown her under the bus. 

The old toad geezer now puts up his unsolicited frat while Anutin with glossy eyes thinks "knives out".

All this has nothing to do with governing a country, Thailand would deserve soooooooooooo much better than this concentration of clowns

[Purdey]

Maybe if he has more dirt on her than a short comment that the soldier at the border was an opponent (nothing worse than that), then fine. But he isn't holding all the cards. In an election it is doubtful his party will have any seats left. The old dinosaur should retire.
