Absence far too much
" #Thaksin when PM, took his #parliament duties a bit too lightly, hardly attending sessions, which gave his admin a reputation as a "majority #dictatorship". #Yingluck followed in his footsteps in 2011. Former PMs Chuan Leekpai, Abhisit Vejjajiva & Samak Sundaravej often answered parliamentary qns. Their presence solidified the institution. Paetongtarn & #PheuThai claim to champion #democracy. Her absence fr parliament is #disrespectful to democracy"
