The Pheu Thai Party, whose flagship policy is that of the Bhumjaithai Party( BJT ), declared yesterday that it does not support cannabis liberalization.
Regardless of which event it eventually chose to work with, Pheu Thai’s core measures would have to are central to any alignment government, according to Srettha Thavisin, a candidate for prime ministerial office in Maha Sarakham.
When asked if Pheu Thai may join forces with the BJT, which has maintained its position on cannabis liberalization, Mr. Srettha responded that he supports medical cannabis but would never consent to a complete legalization of cannabis use.
Mr. Srettha responded that it was still too early to discuss the specifics if the BJT agreed to deal on Pheu Thai’s restrictions on independent cannabis.
In response to remarks made by BJT president Anutin Charnvirakul on Saturday, who emphasized the party’s commitment to form an alliance with all parties, including Pheu Thai, Mr. Srettha yesterday expressed his thoughts on that position.
After the May 14 poll, Mr. Srettha added that it was too early to predict whether his occasion would agree to collaborate with the BJT to form a new government.
Mr. Anutin insisted that both sides should put the past dispute between former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Newin Chidchob, the de facto leader of the BJT, behind them.
In order to vote for Abhisit Vejjajiva to become prime minister in 2008, succeeding Somchai Wongsawat, who came from the PPP, Mr. Anutin was referring to Mr Newin leaving the People’s Power Party ( PPP ), the predecessor of Pheu Thai, and later joining the Democrat Party-led bloc.
He remarked,” I believe one of the unhappiest people in the world is an adult who really can’t move past something good that happened almost 20 years ago and never knows how to forgive.”
Mr. Srettha stated that, in his opinion, it is preferable to concentrate on winning the election decisively before moving on to think about who Pheu Thai may form an alliance with.
