Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, also secretary general of the ruling Democrat Party, said government coalition parties should exercise their restraint and seek a dialogue over the conflicting viewpoints on the planned constitution amendment.
Suthep insisted the coalition parties are still able to work together further although they do not share the same views on the constitution changes and this will have no bearing on the upcoming no-confidence debate as the vote will rest with the explanation of each targeted Cabinet member.
Meanwhile, Chat Thai Pattana Party leader Chumpol Silpa-archa believes coalition partners can submit a motion to the Lower House next week to seek charter amendments and the matter has nothing to do with the government.
Chumpol denied the move of his party on the charter rewrite is intended to bargain for its own benefits and insisted this will not ruin its relations with the Democrat Party.
He also commented there is still no condition probably leading to the House dissolution and he hoped the Democrats will change their mind and vote in favor of the amendments.
Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Bundej said the House speaker will schedule the date for a joint parliamentary meeting after receiving the charter amendment motion.
Prasopsuk commented the House's deliberation on the charter changes is unlikely without support by the ruling Democrat Party, the Opposition and senators.
He also commented the upcoming censure debate will be a turning point for the government and it will stay long in office, if it survives the debate.
