In one episode, Mr. Kittisak Rattanawaraha mentioned the role of the senators in the 2023 election that we, as the remaining years of service life, when a new set of senators came. This set will go back to raise grandchildren. we want to say When we have duties, we perform duties to the best of our abilities.

“Come back, there will be an election this Sunday. Thai democracy ours will happen We, as senators especially, are in provincial areas. feeling very overwhelmed and overwhelmed because this election we saw that The most vote-buying money in history so far as we’ve been to the area, so when politicians have invested He became an MP to serve in the parliament. There will be a call back. Withdraw the capital back or not?” Mr. Kittisak said

Mr. Kittisak went on to say that the next troubling thing is that no matter who the senator chooses, which party, which party or uncle, the conflict will never go away. absolutely no way

“Apart from the conflict that will not end, the diploma should be even more intense than before. For example, this election has 2 parties: the former opposition party and the government, which should be only 2 sides, no matter which side. have established a government Conflict among Thai people is certain, confirming this is the feeling that the senators admit that they want to help resolve this conflict as much as possible.

Therefore, I would like to pay respects that When Thai people have already exercised their right to vote If you decide to choose either party Either the opposition or the government, if chosen, can form a government Senators don’t go against the trend. They can say that senators are democratic partners. sound like the people’s brothers and sisters So you don’t have to worry that The senator will blindly vote for the minority. especially a very small voice Which by law is MPs more than 250 and the Prime Minister 376 or more, which is a clear number. Mr. Kittisak reveals

Mr. Kittisak went on to say, therefore, please feel relieved that That senator is a son or daughter. They are the only brothers and sisters of the people. Watch your voice say if you have made up your mind The senator did not object

“But last time we had an example showing that the party that got the first number of MPs could not form a government. Therefore according to the rules When the party ranks first, it cannot include more than half of the MPs. It is the duty of the party that has the minority vote inferior. This is why Senators must consider that. Consider making a decisive decision if including more than half of the MPs

As for the prime minister If the person who has been presented as a candidate for Prime Minister Let’s have a look at the face there for a bit because it’s 2 conditions. I’m going to say that whoever gets it can vote. You don’t need a senator. But promised that the voice of the people is the true voice of heaven, so people do not have to worry about The senator will make the wrong decision. There is no way to vote for the faction that gets the vote of a few MPs. Mr. Kittisak confirmed.
