On February 9, 2023, Mr.Chris Potanan former founderThe Party of the Future and former presidentthread group Interview through the program “Inside Thailand Inside Thailand“Broadcast through Modern Nine TV in case he resignsProgressive Party And preparing to form a new party was not a bomb that posted messages on Facebook yesterday Its purpose is to explain why they need to resign. How do you disagree with the party? If in fact bombed the party He has been in this party for 5 years There are many things. Apparently the party exploded. But there was a post yesterday to explain that Why can’t you go down? Members of Parliament this time in the name of the far-reaching party
Mr Chris spoke about the reason for his resignation from the Kao Klai Party that When the Future Party was formed 5 years ago, we wanted to create a democratic party. which is really democracy in the party Members have a right to vote. Choice of membership policy should be included. And now the most important thing is to choose. How did the party’s MP list come about? It’s very important. I want to make a party like this happen. But now it seems that it is not in the desired dream picture. Others may not want it. But this is what he wants. And I really want it to be that way, but I haven’t reached that point yet.
When asked about the reason for declaring that the Progressive Party was a dictatorship Give me one concrete story: Mr Chris said that we were talking today about the structure. He did not say that he had progressed to a dictatorship. But the mechanism of democracy is still very low. Hearing loss by members In addition to the party’s working committee There is another group of people called “Politburo“It’s a group of people who don’t know where they came from. not elected not through elections or being an Executive Director But they decide all the important issues in the party.
“The most obvious This group will be very effective in deciding who will be listed. List of MPs One of the conditions of what I wrote. I spoke to him that I wanted to move to the list of MPs. But what happened was, he asked how you came to be. You trample on the hearts of people at the party like this. whatever is written But the big thing is that he said that if there are 2 sellers, the first one is a very good seller. But discuss the benefits over time with the 2nd person Sales are half the same as the first person. but faithfully He would choose the second person, and having heard that, he clearly knew if we would take our 5 years of work to talk to him. I know I may be the first seller. despite the fact that Thai politics must go beyond loyalty The more they are about to claim that they are the democratic party. Talking about loyalty is weird,” says Chris.
When asked to repeat Can he say who the politburo is? Chris refused to answer questions, saying “I can’t say.”
while washing that And you are the person talking about the seller.Thanathorn Juangrongrunkit The Chairman of the Progress Board or Mr.Pita Limjaroenrat Party leader, right?
Mr Chris also said that studying like this Loyalty or that he said To prove a little, he said that he is indeed a politician, running for MPs in the area, being close to the people. Ready to prove yourself to the people but this way We know this kind of party Not a party on the board of directors But when the Politburo didn’t like us we can’t wait
“When we campaign for the party talk about the party’s policies Many policies do not go through democratic mechanisms. But through one team which is Think Thank, the consultant of the Politburo, through the air-conditioned room, through Knock academics and send it to the district MP candidates to talk and sell when the mechanism does not work, what is said lacks legitimacy . And a lot of things we don’t agree with, we go down and say, it’s like lying to the public. Anything to sell has to be something that can be believed. Or is it a process that has already been voted on in the party, this is fine, but now it’s not,” said Chris.
Mr Chris said that the policy of the Progressive Party was unacceptable that there were actually many who did not agree with them. But the biggest and most important thing in this round is Kao Klai Party offers old age pension of 3,000 baht, you know now? Expenditure for the allowance of the elderly spends more than 80,000 million baht. But if this policy is used by the party, the budget will be increased to over 300,000 million baht. Talking to people in the area He doesn’t want this. old man with dignity Because giving money to old people, whether it is 600 baht or 3,000 baht, only If this policy is implemented for another 10 years, there will be an expenditure of more than 600 billion baht, almost 20% of the country’s budget. How will you survive? Members must also be asked Will you take it this way?
Mr Chris also said if he wanted to vote in this round and finally be born as an MP the day after if there is a conflict with the party or still disagree with the management method and he walked out after the election He a cobra So if going out, we have to talk now. because they cannot lie to the public
As for what the new party will be called, Mr. Chris that he consults in many ways. Forming a new political party is not easy. And capital must be used, heart must be used, people must be used, now we are in the middle of talking. If possible, I would like to run for election within this round of elections, but I think it would be done by a small party, where people could push together.
