“Go Klai” unanimously resolved not to vote for the prime ministerial candidate from “Pheu Thai” not to support a cross-polar government. Contrary to the intention of voting in the election, 66 beat the authority more than the people. But insisted on nominating "Pitha" for the prime minister, even if he did not vote for another party's prime ministerial candidate.
Chaitawat Tulathon, secretary-general of the Kao Klai Party revealed that the meeting Progressive Party MPs There is a unanimous resolution not to vote for the prime ministerial candidate of the political party forming a cross-polar government at this time. Because they do not want to support the formation of a government that is contrary to the will of the people from the May 14 election for three reasons:
A cross-polar coalition government led by the Pheu Thai Party formed a government. Almost all traditional ruling parties were brought together to form the government. This is equal to contrary to the will of the people, clearly expressed on the day of the election on May 14, 2023, that they want to overturn the government.
The Progressive Party will vote for this cross-polar coalition government candidate. Not turning off the switch, Sen. as claimed. But it is following the Senator. To turn off the switch, take a step forward Because if every political party The intention is to turn off the switch of the Senate and truly respect the will of the people. must be expressed by voting for the established majority government by moving far from the beginning Not forming a government according to the needs of Senator and claiming to turn off the switch of Senator
Although at this time there is still no clarity on the composition of the cabinet. But it is clear that the appearance of the Cabinet will not be much different from the previous government. The Progressive Party does not believe in establishing a government out of respect for those in power. but not considerate of the people will push for a progressive agenda and bring real change to solve problems for the people
Mr. Chaitawat continued to say that in this regard, MPs advanced unanimously, as for the situation of choosing the prime minister. and the formation of the government after this Have to see what's next may not end up voting for the prime minister at once But at today's meeting, only one important agenda was considered, namely the Prime Minister's vote. The rest is a matter of the future.
When asked about the establishment of such a cross-polar government Will the Kao Klai Party be able to work with the Pheu Thai Party? Most of the people expressed Vote through the 2023 elections. It's clear that want to overturn the government Want to see the party win No. 1-2, the original opposition party leader want to see the old opposition run the country instead of the old government But now that's not the case. not according to the will of the people and have discussed the same The ambiguity that is not clearly declared Which party will join the government? The more distrust of people.
When asked if the Constitutional Court ruled that can nominate Mr. Phitha Lim Chareonrat far-reaching party leader Can be a candidate for Prime Minister again Will nominate the competition or not? we already agree principle It's not about nominating Mr. Phitha as Prime Minister again or not. But this is how it should be. Even if the Constitutional Court does not accept this petition The Progressive Party will propose a motion to review the original parliamentary resolution on the interpretation of the regulations. We disagree with the fact that the Constitutional Court is sent to decide what the Assembly can't do.
When asked to repeat that In nominating a candidate for the upcoming Prime Minister The Kao Klai Party will nominate Mr. Phitha Raeng as well or not.
When asked if after this means that the party has advanced Bargaining with the Pheu Thai Party has been closed, or not? So is there any deal with the ruling party leaders? If this story doesn't exist Because, as emphasized, one reason It is a reason not to vote for the Prime Minister candidate. of the government being established we do not believe forming a government in this situation is respectful of all powerful people except the public Can really push forward the progressive people's agenda, no matter what it promises? It will not be effective in future practice anyway. As for any subject, if advanced, it is presented The future if we are opposition If the public clearly supports I believe that the majority of the council will support our proposal. without making any agreement
When asked if the Progressive Party would vote against Or abstain from voting, Mr. Chaitawat said that he had not yet talked. But it is clear that they will not vote for them, and they will even vote against them. Or abstain from voting, must see. There are details to consider about the government that is about to be established, for example, how is the composition? official etc.
When asked if there are 2 uncles, will they vote against or not? But if there is none, they may abstain from voting. I must say that today I haven't gone into details yet. Of course, they will not vote in approval.
When asked when stepping up to become a leader The Pheu Thai Party also voted for Mr. Phitha. But now I'm far away from voting for Pheu Thai. Make it a condition for Pheu Thai that must join the 2 uncle parties to form a government or not. Mr. Chaitawat said that the matter was different. I think at that time we had the legitimacy of joining hands and forming a joint government. according to the will of the people through elections each situation But now a distorted government is being formed. people's will in elections This is a big principle. Whether it is proposed to turn off the switch of the Senate in order to respect the election results .
