Thinking Station No. 12: hope for ‘crash-not-crash’ even in general discussions without voting

Thinking Station No. 12: Chances of ‘Falling – Not Failing’

Although a general debate without a vote under Article 152 of the Constitution will not be a debate of no confidence. But let’s use short words. to the excitement that “launder”
The schedule that the opposition parties and 3 whips have agreed to take action is February 15-16.
The topic heavily announced by the opposition coalition is the administration of the country, which is both failing and strange.
As for the government, it announced that it was ready to respond to all allegations.

It sounds like it should be a normal parliamentary process according to the constitution that allows
But before the first bell of the laundering bell rang. instead, there is a news lobby to overthrow this laundry with a quorum.
Alone, if the news source was an opposition party, it would look the same way. But when the whip of the government came out to confirm that there was a contact approach
Stories that are trending have a storyline of truth.

Mr. Chinnaworn Boonyakiat MP for Nakhon Si Thammarat Democrat Deputy chairman of the government whip said that the idea that the quorum was not complete is true. and has coordinated, but has confirmed that The debate is the opposition’s suggestion that the administration can be scrutinized. The executive branch or any party did not attend the quorum. There will be at least 3 damages. 1. Escaping the inspection of the opposition.
2. It is the direct duty of the government to complete a quorum.
and 3. If the opposition sees that the lack of a quorum comes from the government The opposition could find a reason to debate outside the House of Assembly. which will further damage the government
Therefore, all coalition parties should work together to keep the debate on the agenda.

Interview with Vice President Government Whip The question arises as to who the lobbyist is. and make it believable that there is a real movement
At the same time, it is a warning to political parties.

Because MPs cause the quorum to collapse with Senators causing insufficient quorum are different.
and the quorum was incomplete due to different opinions and insufficient quorum to escape criticism are different.
For senators, they come from appointment. No one punished This is therefore the weakness of Senators who lack connection with the people
wrong with elected MPs Making people sad has a chance of regret.

In addition, using the parliament as a platform for laundering meant that both the opposition and the government had the opportunity.
The opposition has the opportunity to expose society to the blind spots of the government. But if you only use words to attack and scold until the audience wasted their time Yes, that will be handicap.
The government department may be at a disadvantage in terms of time. But there is an opportunity to use the press conference for more information. can use issues raised by the opposition to show their contributions to society
This tactic has been used by the government in the no-confidence debate.

Therefore, the 15-16 February cleaning battle is unlikely to cause the council to collapse because of the quorum.
Every party, everyone has their own dignity.
When there is a voice saying about the quorum, the matter must be prevented.
The council should not overturn the laundering. because it is equal to not accepting the council mechanism
If MPs do not accept the council mechanism Then what are you going to vote for?
