13 Sept 10:01Key points summarised by AI
Palang Pracharath party-list MP Watanya Bunnag resigned from her parliamentary seat and the party.
Her resignation follows the collapse of a joint parliamentary sitting due to a lack of quorum, an incident she found "saddening."
The parliamentary session's collapse effectively killed an election bill intended to benefit small political parties.
Watanya criticized parliament for being used as an arena for political games, eroding public trust and failing to meet people's aspirations.
