Talk:National League for Democracy

message: The NLD-LA has never been an insurgent army and has maintained a record of non-violence since its founding. It is an advocacy organization pushing for democratic, nonviolent change in Burma. Joel_S 01:08 EST 13 March 2006
Not correct. Although it has never espoused insurgency as a political strategy, NLD-LA members carried arms and wore military uniforms in and around Manerplaw (the old Karen National Union headquarters), and on occasion took part in military operations against the Tatmadaw.

message: Hi - I have a concern about the NLD being described as a defunct political party. Just because the junta has declared it disbanded does not mean the organization has ceased to exist. I'd wait until definitive sources confirm it has stopped functioning, especially as an underground organization. Shiva (Visnu) 20:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says now: "The party flag features the peacock, a prominent symbol of Burma."
Correct, but the flag also features the five-pointed and filled star of communism.  LevelBasis (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

message: NLD has no seat from now. The army have dissolved the parliament. --Panam2014 (talk) 17:52, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , it being dissolved does not mean we can say they have zero seats. That's not the same thing. Saying 0 out of 224 implies that other parties hold all 224 seats, which is not correct. We can either leave the composition bars as they were as of the 2015 election, or simply remove them altogether as the legislature is no longer functioning. However, I haven't found a source stating specifically that the legislature has been dissolved, so I'm inclined to leave the composition bars as they were. ― Tartan357 Talk 17:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that saying zero out of 224 is incorrect, but not really sure about what would be the right way to represent it. Maybe the bar could be replaced with text stating "Won 135 of 224 seats in 2020 elections before military coup" or something similar? Number 57 17:59, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , they actually won 138 in the 2020 elections. The 135 number is from 2015. The new term was supposed to start today, but the military stopped that from happening. That's about all we know now, so I'd leave the 2015 number in place until we get more information (such as confirmation that the legislature has been dissolved). I've seen that claim at 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, but it appears unsourced. ― Tartan357 Talk 18:04, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I think the 2020 result would be more relevant. Number 57 18:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , if it has indeed been dissolved, then I'd agree with your proposal. But all we know now is that the military stopped the transition and seized executive power. What I'm saying is we can't presume that the legislature has been dissolved without a reliable source saying that. Until we hear otherwise, we should presume that the legislators seated as of the 2015 election are still sitting. ― Tartan357 Talk 18:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
