The People’s Party ( PP ) dismissed criticism that it had failed to fulfil its duty as the opposition, saying the public would judge its performance in the next election.
PP official and listing MP Parit Wacharasindhu said the group was doing its best to keep the government in check during a press conference on Monday about the main opposition side’s legislative work.
He said the group used all the political mechanisms accessible, such as public debates without a ballot, interpellations, discussions during the legislative approach, and House committee scrutinies, to study the government’s performance.
The group, according to Mr. Parit, had taken a proactive approach to scrutinizing the Pheu Thai-led leadership and writing legislation that complied with its election campaign promises.
The MP noted that whether the charges had been approved or not, it also sought to set the agenda and that the government was prompted to make its own versions and take on the discussion.
Even though the party-sponsored bills were never passed into law, he claimed that the group was using congress as a platform to raise public awareness of these issues, which could lead to increased voter support for it in upcoming elections.
According to Mr Parit, the PP has proposed a total of 84 payments, of which 25 had undergone first checking, while the others were still awaiting thought in congress.
The PP’s main objective as the main opposition party is to push for legal changes ( to debate bills ). Through these expenses, he said,” we not only scrutinize the government but also generate recommendations.”
He added that the organization acknowledged that these payments needed to be passed by themselves. It was collaborating with the authorities to identify how to create policies that may serve the public good.
” Our goal is to change people’s minds both in and outside of congress, which is crucial to us.
” The more we explain these bills, the better our chance of gaining]wider ] support. People around may affect their MPs ‘ activities, “he said.
The PP official downplayed the most recent poll results, which show the group is losing popularity, as well, saying they could be a chance to make the party better off.
” At the end of the day, our job may be judged by the people in the next poll, “he said.
