The opposition Move Forward party had hoped for a miracle -- that the so-called Group of 16 MPs from small parties would vote to censure Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his 10 ministers along with the opposition.
Several party members were cheered on when they met a large group of people holding a parallel censure debate outside parliament during a break on the last day of the debate on Friday night. Despite that, their support could not effect any change in parliament.
