Govt chief whip: Censure still on

Online news:

The censure motion debate against the government scheduled for Nov 25-26 will not be affected although a question has been raised over opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva's qualifications as an MP, government chief whip Udomdet Rattanasathien said on Tuesday.

Mr Udomdet, a Pheu Thai MP for Nonthaburi, said that his discussions with other opposition whips confirmed the censure debate would go ahead as planned, with the voting on Nov 27.

He expected a general debate in the Senate on the government's performance would be on Nov 27-28, after the censure debate.

Until (and if) the court disqualifies AV he IS an MP and is entitled to take part in the debate.

Android AV is not a disqualified MP so he can speak, shout or throw paper if he wants to.

A disqualified MP is not entitled to speak during the parliamentary debate according to the constitution. Unless the court gives a green light to AV's MP status, he is not allowed to speak in all parliamentary debates.

"Mr Udomdet said the question over Mr Abhisit's qualifications would not affect the no-confidence debate because a legal interpretation of this matter would take time. Mr Abhisit was still qualified as an MP, he added".
In a few hours he'll be summoned to the Thon Buri feudal lords mansion and change his stand. Just like NSC's secretary general Lt Gen Paradorn Patanathabutr.
