Burma: Should opposition parties boycott the vote? TIME (2010)

This article discusses the main issues at stake in Myanmar's forthcoming elections. The military junta in power refused to acknowledge the results of the 1990 elections, when Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won a overwhelming majority of the votes. Opposition parties are currently discussing whether they should boycott the next elections. Some parties, like the National Democratic Force, see the polls as an opportunity, some others believe that protests should continue (the NLD). The regime called the elections on a very short notice, imposing a high candidate-registration fee and forbidding people in detention from running.
