"Chuan" warns 2 parties to end the Presidency of the House by studying and understanding the roles, powers and duties of taking everything at will. and miss the Prime Minister too, not related
Chuan Leekpai, former Speaker of the National Assembly Interviewed on Parliamentary TV on the program 91 Years of Stability of the Thai Parliament. On the day of the establishment of the National Assembly on June 28, the position of head of the Legislature is important because it is 1 in 3 of the sovereign power. The position of Speaker of the House of Representatives will be considered with discretion. In the past, there was a case where the chairman of the council not from the top party because it was an agreement by the coalition party Sometimes the election results show that political parties have similar votes. can agree on who will be prime minister or the chairman of the council But in the past, it was found that political parties with similar votes will not join the government Because there will be a fight like today But if anyone gets a clear majority can agree on who is the prime minister and chairman of the council
When asked whether the voices of the Kao Klai Party and the Pheu Thai Party were similar, causing unclear or not, Chuan said it was his experience in forming a government. as he had been both the government and the opposition for many times Normally, mutual agreements will use the Prime Minister's position as the prime minister because it will be easy to share the position. It is easier to form a government today than in the past because there are only 8 political parties at the same time, only 2 parties have a total of more than half of the votes. But this time it looks like there is a problem. because there is an issue requiring the chairman of the council and the post of prime minister which he is reasonable and as normal as possible But if you take everything, the problem is not over.
As for the Kao Klai Party, they are worried that if they do not have the Speaker of the House Can't push their own laws, Mr. Chuan said it's not in line with reality. Because the president of the council Can't be arbitrary or do anything that goes against the rules of the meeting. The part that states that if not the chairman of the council Will not get the Prime Minister's position, it's not true because the selection of the Prime Minister Requires a vote from members which the chairman of the council Must proceed in accordance with the resolution of the council Persons cannot be changed. The Speaker of the Council cannot argue, weigh down, or nominate another person.
“To say that if he doesn't get the position of Speaker of the Council, the position of Prime Minister, there will be problems that are irrelevant. In addition, pushing for the law, the Speaker of the House cannot arbitrarily decide who's law will be brought up first for consideration. Must be in the order of nominations from members. If the agenda is to be changed, a resolution must be sought from the meeting. not the authority of the Speaker of the House party forming government Not taking everything as his own, having to negotiate, because in addition to this matter, there are other negotiations, such as the ministry, he thinks that if he can talk closely And understand missions, roles, duties, division of powers will cause less conflict. But that is very controversial. Because I don't understand many things, ”said Mr. Chuan.
Mr. Chuan said that the party that wants to propose 100 bills, he can push. using the channel as a government law Because according to the government's law regulations, it will be contained as an urgent matter. But the law of many outstanding opposition. which is normal for government If a draft law is proposed that is inconsistent with the law or government policy to consider feasibility and budget
“The problem of the Kao Klai Party and Pheu Thai Party He viewed that if he understood the role of the council will make it easy to settle But if you don't understand and see that the President of the Council Inspire anyone to be prime minister like this. It's difficult to discuss. If you are not sure whether to appoint the Prime Minister will pass or not If it doesn't pass, he won't be the Prime Minister. and chairman of the council Until it became an anxiety that he thought that if the two sides discussed closely will make it easy to talk, so the problem of the chairman of the council should end with education Understand the roles, powers, duties, and all parties cannot take anything at will. In the past, there was no problem with the appointment of the chairman of the council, but nowadays there are problems, ”said Chuan.
Mr. Chuan mentioned the specification of the person who will be the chairman of the council. that no matter who it is, must be prepared to study the rules regulations and rules The person who was chairman of the council had to resign from his position in a political party in order not to be involved with the party itself If the party elects its own people to discriminate, it cannot do so.
“The party that elected its representative must choose a person who is the face of the party Because he elected a person to be the head of the 500 people in the House of Representatives, so his behavior and temperament must show that he is a representative of the legislative branch. Political parties must elect candidates to perform their duties according to the constitution and law. Including having to consider whether it will make democratic politics in a positive or negative direction, ”said Chuan.-Thai News Agency
