Opposition parties may join on Friday to discuss the opportunity of a March-scheduled censure discussion, according to opposition chief whip Pakornwut Udompipatskul, who announced it on Tuesday. &nbsp,

Mr Pakornwut, a list-MP of the People’s Party ( PP ), said the meeting&nbsp, would be at the Thai Sang Thai Party headquarters with key figures from all opposition parties expected to participate.

The goal of the conversation may be revealed at a media presentation that would be followed by a dinner.

He claimed that the no-confidence argument had not yet been decided upon. It was likely to be in March, but more discussions between the state, opposition whips, and the parliament president were dependent.

More discussions were needed, according to Mr. Pakornwut, to determine how long the debate may continue and when it would actually take place.

When asked if the discussion may include issues involving Thaksin Shinawatra, who some claim has rudely called the government’s spiritual leader, Mr. Pakornwut said Thaksin was not yet a target.

However, he may get one if he takes any legal or ethical action against the law.

The conversation would cope with a wide range of subjects, from the administration’s handling of national security to the present financial situation, he said.

Afterward, the criticism may submit a petition to separate organizations to investigate any wrongdoing complaints raised during the discussion, he said.

He refuted the idea that this censure debate might have begun shortly after Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the prime minister, had only just become prime minister. He claimed that some cabinet ministers have been in the same position for more than a year and that the Pheu Thai Party-led coalition has been in office for nearly two years.

” More important, the two primary ministers from Pheu Thai more or less do or have the same set of policies”, the criticism slap chief said.

Srettha Thavisin and Ms. Paetongtarn were the previous prime ministers ‘ references.
