If the media is gagged as is the case in Burma, then democracy, even after several elections, will be impossible to sustain.

Q: What is ANFREL’s opinion of the USDP led by Prime Minister Thein Sein?

A: The USDP appears to be clearly enjoying government support. Its formation and dependency on the government are sufficient indication to suggest that this party gets undue preference over other political parties. There are lots of allegations against the USDP and so far neither the government nor the EC has shown any interest in setting up an investigation, much less questioning the USDP leadership. If the USDP can have access to the media and voters, other parties deserve the same treatment.
