The generals in power wanted us to believe that it represented a historic step towards democracy, but this report, which was secretly filmed by exiled media group 'Democratic Voice of Burma', highlights how this was not the case. According to Aung San Suu Kyi, who was arrested after winning the last democratic election in 1990, "the whole process of the election was so patently unfree and unfair that it makes a laughing stock of democratic process". The military based Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) dominated the campaigning scene with drastically more candidates and money, and any opposition hoping to stand for office was met with a barrage of bureaucratic obstacles which made candidacy almost impossible. On top of this, Burmese citizens were threatened, bribed and coerced into voting for the USDP. Unsurprisingly, they won with 75% of the vote. It was an unconvincing development for democracy, but Aung San Suu Kyi continues to fight on. Her party, the NLD, has been banned from participating in Burmese politics, but she remains confident: "the strength of the NLD is not in any registration office but in the will of the people."
