Suthep ready to quit and join anti-government rally
Play
Democrat Surat Thani MP Suthep Thaugsuban has said he is willing to quit his MP post anytime in order to join antigovernment rallies in and out of Parliament.
He said the government is pushing for the passage of legislation that is dangerous for the country, for instance the charter amendment on the selection of Senators, so he must put up a tough fight in Parliament first to save the country.
“People who do not look at the issue deeply may overlook it, thinking it is trivial. However, if Senators were to be elected, they would be under the influence of politicians who will be able to control the appointment of independent agencies. This which does not bode well for the country,” he said.
The Democrat Party is fighting to have MPs appointed by having various professional groups nominate their candidates.
