Mr. Prinya Tewanarumitkul Revealed that he had made a project for people’s votes by using 1 phone to vote 1 time, this time for the third time after the May 14 election by inviting people to vote for senators. whether it agrees or not that the senator should listen to the voice of the people by voting according to the majority vote of the MPs, which can scan the QR Code on the TV screen or click the link https://peoplevoiceth.survey.fm/voice People-3 Which is done to allow the people to raise their voices in a peaceful democratic way In modern ways, namely social and online. And there will be an announcement of the voting results tomorrow (May 18) at 2:00 p.m. at the Faculty of Law, Thammasat University, which has passed 2 days, 2.5 million people have voted and believe that it should surpass 3 million people. much like never before Because last time, the highest was 540,000 people

As for whether such a vote would be considered to put pressure on the senators or not, Mr Prinya said it was an expression of the people in a peaceful way. It is a proposal of public opinion for senators to consider, not a rally or a mob. This is what we call direct democracy. In which the people are the owners of the country, able to express themselves in order to present to the senators peacefully

However, I personally disagree. But when the rules are like this, then the senator abstaining is equal to the senator not acknowledging the majority vote that comes from the majority of the people. Because according to the rules written for senators to participate in choosing the prime minister and MPs, but abstaining will cause the majority of MPs to still be unable to form a government, having to collect up to 376 votes.

Normally, a government with 20-30 votes more than half can be set up. and strong enough Able to pass laws to push forward the campaigned policies and saw that the number of votes 310 was even considered too much The fact that the opposition has less than 200 votes means that the opposition is starting to weaken. And calling on the government to have a vote of 376 to turn off the switch, the senators are afraid that they will get a government that is too strong. and the opposition is too weak This is not good for the balance of power in parliament. because the election of the government is not a division of ministries But it is the policy that has been campaigned for work. which currently lacks another 66 votes, so it is something that must be monitored further and hopes that the voices of the people will play a part in helping senators listen to the voices of the people.-Thai News Agency
