PM brushes off talk of rift in coalition

‘ Unity undamaged’ despite vote split

Despite the Bhumjaithai Party voting in opposition to another coalition parties to use the contested double-majority rule in a contract amendment referendum, according to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, government unity is still alive.

There is no need to “break echelons,” according to Ms. Paetongtarn.

Allow the legislative process proceed. Yet MPs in the same party are exempt from similar thought patterns. It doesn’t matter. The majority of coalition parties and the major opposition Women’s Party on Wednesday voted to reject the election act that included the dual majority rule, saying,” We also work together, regardless.”

Following the Senate’s vote on Tuesday, where a majority of lawmakers supported the double-majority condition, the House of Representatives were able to cast a ballot on the legislation.

More than 50 % of voters had cast their ballots, and the majority of those who cast their ballots may endorse it, with a double lot.

The Senate argued that passing a referendum that would consider matters of national importance, such as the constitution’s rewriting, was the best way to go about doing so.

But, the House of Representatives argued that the proposed rule would make it more difficult to pass referendums, and instead offered a second majority, which would allow for a winning vote of any size to be deemed legitimate.

Before, the joint House-Senate council tried to iron out dissenting opinions between the two Homes. In the end, the panel’s individuals in the Senate managed to win, and the council voted in favor of the double majority rule.

The House rejected the dual majority rule-incorporating election act on Wednesday, with one acquiescence and one no-vote, by a ballot of 326 to 61.

Those opposing the costs were the alliance Pheu Thai, United Thai Nation, Democrat, Prachachart, Kla Dharm and Chartpattana functions. Its opposition events, including PP, Thai Sang Thai, and Palang Pracharath, even opposed it.

59 MPs from Bhumjaithai and two Members from Thai Sang Thai were the people who cast ballots for the costs.

The two tanks have presently convened individually to vote on the legislation. They stood strongly by their positions.

The unresolved disagreement has necessitated the bill being put on the back burner for 180 days during a” cooling-off” period. If the House persists on the individual lot standard after that, the expenses will be presented to the King for approval and enacted into law.

How many elections will be held in order to amend the contract as the next issue arises?

The Constitutional Court has stipulated three referendums: a second one inquiring if voters agree with a mandate update, a minute on whether Part 256 of the law, which makes way for setting up a charter-drafting system, needs amending, and a third on whether voters ‘ support for a new charter may be adopted.

In an effort to save time, the PP is consulting Parliament President Wan Muhammad Noor Matha to lessen the polls to two sessions in order to allow the current state to complete the mandate update within its lifetime.
