Move Forward should declare it will sit in opposition : Piyabutr
13 Sept 12:37Key points summarised by AI
Piyabutr Saengkanokkul urges the Move Forward party to formally and immediately declare its intention to lead the opposition, warning that hesitation signals weakness and indecisiveness.
He advises against playing the victim for public sympathy, stating it will eventually bore the public and be perceived as a sign of weakness.
Piyabutr asserts that it's now clear other parliamentary parties do not want Move Forward in government, making the opposition role their only viable and strong path.
He encourages the party to embrace its 151 votes and 14.4 million supporters to effectively perform its duties as the opposition, rather than hoping for a government invitation, suggesting that losing today could lead to winning tomorrow.
