The opposition-core Pheu Thai Celebration will not help make the quorum for the shared sitting of associates and senators upon Monday to election on an election bill that would provide little political parties using the chance to win list-MP seats.
Pheu Thai MP for Bangkok and spokeswoman Theerarat Samretwanit said on Weekend that Pheu Thailänder MPs would tone of voice their opposition towards the bill’s provision to calculate the amounts of list MPs with regard to political parties simply by dividing all votes for list MPs by 500.
After the deliberation, Pheu Thai MPs would not confirm their particular presence to make a quorum for the vote within the bill, she said. The party has 133 MPs.
Ms Theerarat said if an election is held upon Monday and the expenses is dropped, you will see no election law, just a political vacuum cleaner. If the House will be dissolved, the present govt can assume a caretaker role for a long period, she said.
On Fri parliament president Chuan Leekpai called an unique joint meeting associated with MPs and senators to be held on Monday, the last possibility for lawmakers to review the amendment of the election bill that will supports the use of the number 500 as the divisor in calculating party-list seats.
The 500 divisor would give chances meant for small parties in order to win list MP seats because the minimum number of votes to win a list MP seat would be much smaller than with the one hundred divisor in the authentic version of the bill.
Mon was the 180-day deadline day for the bill to be passed.
If the bill is just not endorsed within the 180-day deadline as needed by the charter, the original version, sponsored by cabinet and drawn up by the Election Commission payment, will be considered given the green light by parliament. The original set up proposed the hundred divisor.
