Hua Guofang Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wow, it did too. Yeah, Thein Sein is pushing forward with some good things there but the military still holds 25% of the seats in parliament as of the constitution and many more MP are ex-mil that have taken off their uniforms. If you want to operate in Myanmar you still have to be very sensitive to the interests of the military. The coming legislative elections will be really interesting as you have to get over 75% of votes in parliament to change the constitution, meaning that the military should be able to retain their power. However if the rest of the parliament are taken by the NLD and its affiliates that's going to create an uncomfortable situation for the military. There may be other constitutional provisions in play here but I'm pretty sure that the head of state does not possess any veto powers when it comes to constitutional change.
