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 record 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, they sparked dialogues and prompted the government to come up with its own variations of the legislation, setting the agenda.
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 ). We never only examine the government, but we also make comments through these costs,” he said.
He added that the organization acknowledged that it did not have enough seats to pass these costs only. It was collaborating with the authorities to show how measures could be created that would serve the public.
” Our goal is to change people’s minds both in and outside of congress, which is essential 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 vote, “he said.
