Myanmar’s Ruling Party Admits Election Defeat

The chairman of Myanmar’s ruling party has conceded defeat in the country’s first free general election in 25 years.

The leader of the Union Solidarity and Development Party, Htay Oo, told Reuters: “We do accept the results without any reservations.”

His comments, along with initial reports from counting stations around the country, would appear to support opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s comments earlier in which she hinted at a victory for her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).

Unfortunately for Madame Suu Kyi (and we Americans who suffer a political system in which the Democratic Party is allowed to exist), when it come to who matters in an election, the people who vote or the people who count the votes, Stalin was right.

"...freest elections in decades..."

Is a 50% free election really preferable to a 10% free election?

Here in the USA, the Dems have taken election after election by only making it 5% unfree.
