- PM Anutin laughed and questioned Kardi's three-point censure
- Argued that harsh criticism reflects the speaker's own flaws
- Highlighted the decline of Democrat MPs from over 100 to dozens
- Noted his own party's growth to nearly 200 seats
On October 16, 2026, at 10:05 AM at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul addressed the opposition's no-confidence motion. The motion was raised by Kardi Liaopairat, a party-list MP and deputy leader of the Democrat Party, who criticized the administration's governance using severe accusations.
Upon hearing the reporter's question regarding the censure, the Prime Minister chuckled and inquired whether such harsh phrasing was genuinely used. He then turned the question back to the press, asking if those remarks targeted the cabinet or the speaker herself.
The psychological defense mechanism mentioned by the Prime Minister refers to a psychoanalytic concept where individuals project their own unconscious shortcomings onto others. This rhetorical tactic frequently surfaces in political conflicts as a means of deflecting internal party pressures and shifting public attention during high-stakes parliamentary debates.
When reporters clarified that the phrase served as the Democrat Party's official slogan for the debate, Prime Minister Anutin uttered an exclamation and shook his head. He remarked that individuals who vocalize such insults are often describing their own internal realities rather than external facts.

"It is rhetoric from a party that once held over 100 seats and is now down to just over 10, speaking to a party that once had around 10 seats and has risen to nearly 200. I don't know who is truly incompetent or corrupt."

Furthermore, the Prime Minister commented on the political trajectory of the rival party, pointing out the drastic drop in their parliamentary seats from over a hundred down to a mere dozen. Comparing this with his own faction's expansion to nearly 200 representatives, he questioned the validity of the opposition's claims regarding political capability.
