The Irrawaddy Burma Election 2010

Ahead of the 2010 election, the Burmese people must ask whether the role of “union level” civil society groups and the role of elected members of parliament will be competing or complementary in the new Constitution.

Although Burma's military regime has announced no election law nor declared the date of the poll it plans to hold in 2010, preparations appear to have begun in Naypyidaw.
