Talk:Politics of Myanmar

message: Having read this article, I don't understand the ideological position of the military regime. What are their justifications for their work? While there appears to be massive support for change in Burma, I doubt the military are ruling without some sort of self-justification. For example, SLORC's name suggests a concern with social disorder, and I think that many similar dictatorships that end up in similar straights have leaders with grudges against outsiders (c.f. North Korea, Libya) who have, in the past, exploited them. 
I don't think the article is neutral or whatever.

thread_title: Missing Information

message: The "1990 People's Assembly election results" table on this page is mistaken.  The number of seats adds up to only 479, NOT 492 as it appears here and as the source, Adam Carr's website, has it.  More accurate information needs to be found.  Also, on that note, a lot of the sources I have looked at, including the CIA World Factbook and others, say that there were only 485 seats "available" for that election, not 492.

message: I've tagged the "Political conditions" section for POV, as it basically stands as more of a human interest piece in a newspaper than a strictly factual page of encyclopedic data. That the entire section basically sprung from a single editor that never made another edit is kind of suspect, as well. I'm not saying that the data is wrong; I'm just saying that it's not referenced and it's not written in an encyclopedic manner. EvilCouch (talk) 07:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV tag in "Political conditions" section 

message: I added this NOTABLE, and first since 1990, referendum and new charger: Myanmar's army-drafted constitution was overwhelmingly approved (by 92.4% of the 22 million voters with alleged voter turnout of 99%) on May 10 in the first phase of a two-stage referendum amid Cyclone Nargis.  It was the first national vote since the 1990 election. 2010 multi-party elections in 2010 would end 5 decades of military rule, as the new charter gives the military an automatic 25% of seats in parliament. NLD spokesman Nyan Win, inter alia, criticized the referendum: "This referendum was full of cheating and fraud across the country; In some villages, authorities and polling station officials ticked the ballots themselves and did not let the voters do anything." Reuters, Cyclone-hit Myanmar says 92 percent back charter The constitution would bar Aung San Suu Kyi, from public office. 5 million citizens will vote May 24 in Yangon and the Irrawaddy delta, worst hit by Cyclone Nargis.  www.gmanews.tv, Myanmar OKs charter amid cyclone disaster  --Florentino floro (talk) 10:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New constitution, criticisms 

message: the main page on burma mentions the burmese government's narcotrafficking record with thorough citations, though this page only briefly mentions "state-sponsored" trafficking. perhaps it deserves more of a mention on the page, as it is a highly politically significant issue? also perhaps the issue of forced relocations by the government should be mentioned more thoroughly? According to Mike Davis, speaking about the "Visit Myanmar Year 1996" mass relocation program: "One and a half million residents - an incredible 16% of the total urban population - were removed from their homes ... and shipped out to hastily constructed bamboo-and-thatch huts in the urban periphery, now... renamed the 'New Fields'..."

message: In the section on the 'Judicial System' it states that the judiciary is 'independent of the executive branch', no citation provided.
In the SPDC era section, however, it states 'There is no independent judiciary in Burma' for which a reputable source (The Guardian, a UK newspaper) is cited.
I would suggest amending the first of these assertions to read 'Under the constitution the judiciary is said to be independent of the executive branch, however in practice this has not been achieved.' and citing the aforementioned Guardian article.78.19.11.102 (talk) 01:54, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why this section on historical law books is included here. What I would expect is more information on the different sections of the current laws, how they were drafted and any issues in public debates. For example, the 1984 citizens law and its exclusion of the Rohingya should be mentioned. - I am not well enough informed about this, but hopefully someone can add this information.

message: I'm not amazingly well informed on any topic, but I have done a little bit of research on the coup, shouldn't this article talk about the new military government at all?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.207.175.250 (talk) 19:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
