A joint council will likely be established to resolve disagreements between the Lower and Upper Properties regarding the size of a majority required to pass a vote on the government’s revision of the 2017 Constitution.
The Senate will vote on the contract vote bill on Monday at its second and third observations after it has already been approved by the House of Representatives.
Prior to the House of Representatives ‘ approval of a change to a simple majority, the Senate committee vetting the bill voted to go back to a double lot.
Pheu Thai Party list-MP Wisut Chainarun, in his power as government key punch, on Sunday declined to comment on the Senate council’s decision to stop the transfer to a simple majority.
The two Houses will need to form a joint council to resolve their differences, he said, if the Senate suddenly supports its council’s decision regarding the twin majority principle in the contract referendum bill.
Two majority senators, however, pointed to irregularities in the Senate council’s decision and raised concerns over the possibility of consideration dragging on and delaying the second contract election.
Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit described the agency’s dramatic change in position on the Lower House’s simple bulk rule for the contract referendum as surprising.
Despite supporting the easy lot at all previous meetings, the committee “untilally resolved to switch from the plain bulk to the double bulk only in its final gathering,” she said.
She expressed concern that the Senate will decide on Monday, which will probably delay the first referendum held in period for the provincial operational organization’s upcoming provincial elections in February.
Sen Nantana Nantavaropas, a council member, said it appeared to her that one engineered the Upper House voting.
The senator stated that she was determined to use the Senate meeting on Monday to express to the government her unwavering opposition to the change.
Sen Chattrawat Saengphet, the council president, however, shrugged off condemnation that the decision was aimed at delaying the costs.
