The opposition should be wary of the risk of the upcoming general debate backfiring, an academic has warned.
The general debate is being held on Feb 15-16 with no censure vote. Stithorn Thananithichote, a political researcher at King Prajadhipok’s Institute, said the government may turn the debate to its advantage if the opposition fails to come up with much of substance.
If the debate fails to offer new, damning allegations against Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha or the government, it may be seen as a mere stunt by the opposition to increase its edge ahead of the next election, he said.
