The Democrat Party's decision yesterday to opt out of moves to amend the Constitution has dealt a severe setback to the campaign spearheaded by the smaller coalition parties
But the upset parties will not go empty-handed, as the Democrats will likely try to appease them by allocating the midyear budget to their constituencies and projects.
The alliance of smaller parties has claimed the support of at least 95 MPs, which is enough to file a motion seeking charter changes. But to ensure passage of any changes, backing from at least half of the two Houses of Parliament is required.
Parliament has been divided into four major groups on this issue: the ruling Democrat Party, the opposition Pheu Thai Party, the smaller coalition and opposition parties and senators.
The Democrats have made it clear they have no interest in seeking changes to the charter. Pheu Thai has said it will not join the move and prefer the reinstatement of the 1997 Constitution, which was abolished after the September 19, 2006 military coup.
The smaller parties are keen on "fixing" the Constitution, especially the clauses that would make constituencies smaller, with one MP from each of them. The members of the Senate have split on this matter, with about 60 per cent of them lukewarm towards any tampering with the present statute.
