Rome” said that what was never seen, “Pheu Thai-Democrat” joined the government, laughed, not sure why just turned off the 3 P switch now, asked if it was because of the power grab or not, emphasized that the opposition must check the government, but not sure if “Uncle Pom” will enter the parliament or not, asked to leave it to the MPs who will join the group, understand that they don’t want to be, but help work to be worth the people’s taxes.
Rangsiman Rome, a party-list MP for the Prachachon Party, gave an interview after the Pheu Thai Party invited the Democrat Party to join the government, saying that something that he never thought he would see happened. It was quite surprising. If we go back 10-20 years ago, we probably could not have imagined that this would happen. When it happens, it depends on the decision of each political party. He would not criticize whether it is appropriate or not. The people can decide on this. In the past, there have been difficulties in forming a cabinet. He thinks that he
has seen many problems, reflecting how valuable the time wasted is. As for the politics between the two parties, the question that should be asked is where the people are in the equation. What benefits the people from this?
Mr. Rangsiman also said as an opposition party that the Democrat Party’s move to the government side will affect the opposition’s performance. We will see about this soon, but the Prachachon Party is ready to perform its duties as usual to the best of its ability.
As for whether it is a switch-off of the 3 Ps as Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra once said, Mr. Rangsiman smiled and laughed before answering that he thought it could be done immediately since the formation of the government in the beginning. He was not sure whether the reason for the switch-off at this time may have been due to competition or political infighting. Of course, the victim of what happened was the case of Mr. Settha Thavisin, the former Prime Minister. However, he did not see it as a switch-off of the 3 Ps
because he still saw the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, which still had General Prayut Chan-o-cha as a prime ministerial candidate, even though it did not have a clear political role. However, Ruam Thai Sang Chart was a party that directly inherited from General Prayut.
The matter of shutting down the 3 Ps is probably not like that, and it is not in accordance with the people’s wishes. The image that the people expect is the creation of a strong democratic regime and making the people the ultimate power. That is the solution to the NCPO’s legacy that was left behind.
When asked how the Palang Pracharath Party would work together if it became the opposition, Mr. Rangsiman said that there was no consideration of working together or talking to each other. In the case of the Palang Pracharath Party, it was because it was not allowed to be the government, so it became the opposition, not because the opposition political parties asked it to become the opposition. As for the work from now on, we will have to see what
form it will take because it is still not certain that the body is in the opposition, but where the heart is.
Finally, if there is a vote and support for the government, I am not sure if it can be called the opposition or not because the opposition must perform its duty to check the government. I am not sure how much General Prawit Wongsuwan, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, will perform his duties in the parliament. We still have to wait and see after this.
Mr. Rangsiman emphasized that he has never forgotten the things he discussed with General Prawit, whether it was the NCPO or his involvement with the police, including the elephant ticket and police ticket issues that occurred during the time when General Prawit was in control of the police, especially the Ban Pa Roi Tor Foundation, which is involved in politics in various dimensions.
Therefore, I have never forgotten everything. But being in the opposition is a role that General Prawit must accept that it is because the Pheu Thai Party chose
General Prawit to be here.
Mr. Rangsiman talked about the MPs who had to join the opposition party, saying that he understood that they did not want to, but asked them to do their best to make it worth the people’s taxes.
