(Bangkok Post file photos)As political parties rush to cobble together a coalition with a majority in the House ahead of the vote for prime minister on Wednesday, a senator and an MP are floating the idea of a minority government, which they say is accommodated by the 2017 constitution. Mr Seree wrote on Facebook on Friday that a minority government was possible and the constitution even supports it. “And if MPs do not agree with any bill, the [minority] government can issue a royal decree instead,” he pointed out. In his view, a no-confidence debate is no problem for a minority government either. If necessary, a minority government can be formed and I believe the 2017 charter enables it to survive,” he concluded.
