Q: Do you believe you can win this election in the seats your party contests?

A: Of course I believe it! I wouldn't be campaigning if I didn't believe we had a chance. I can't say we will win in every constituency we contest, however. It is rather like playing football, we are playing in the hope that we will win.

Instead of sweet and hard talking politicians and activists who are likely to get us all killed or exiled, I'd rather have this DUPED party leader who is more likely to lead us out of poverty, lack of human rights and absence of rule of law.
We need to walk the walk rather than talk the talk. There isn't much of a walker left inside our country but a lot of talkers who are safely outside the country. I hope our people know the difference.

This guy's got it all DUPED to say the least.
If he thinks he can do anything 'substantial' about his Shan State not to mention Burma as well he needs to check his head first.
Of course he hasn't read Than Shwe's constitution yet I say.
He is day dreaming and running in a maze chasing a wild goose only I should say.
U Khun Htun Oo is serving 93 years for trying his bit to make his Shan States a better place to live.
Expecting the Shan leader's freedom under an amnesty in the post election era shows he is as NAIVE as a donkey he used to ride in the hills.
Than Shwe will declare anything other than a general amnesty as it would be akin to sounding his own DEATH KNELL and he knows that better than this Shan guy.
The monk murderer might as well give up his ill-gotten wealth, wife and his life as well rather than declare amnesty to all - people in exile - least of all U Khun Htun Oo, if this guy has any brains to know why.
Than Shwe's no idiot nor donkey for that matter lest he forgets.

I wish all ethnic minorities can form a party like The Union Party, and become so strong to beat the USDP, it will be so nice. I am so glad that this Shan party is doing wonderfully so far these days.

Very proud of this Shan leader. If we just talk negative about the 2008 constitution and 2010 election plan we can never move forward, let's talk in Parliaments, for political prisoners please wait until a new Government to grant amnesty, after that I hope you can do well in the next elections (after 2010)
