Vote "NO" to Burma's So Called Referendum
Dear all Friends and Comrades:
I would like to express views on "NO Vote or Vote NO".
We should be aware of the SPDC's technicality or trick or trap.
(1) We don't know yet how voting system will be conducted, not even the sample of ballot.
(2) We don't know how the percentage of voters be counted. 50+% registered voters be declered legitimacy of Referendum, and hence 50+% YES or NO Vote decide the fate of proposed Constitution. We don't know yet.
(3) How valid or invalid votes be decided? Transparency is not guranteed yet.
We should be aware that:
(1) It's not like in 1990 Election where every party reps can present at the poll stations. There will only be the SPDC under watched, since SPDC denied UN or international access to the poll stations. Fairness is totally denied.
(2) SPDC will not allow NGO's at poll stations so far, neither NLD reps nor other parties.
(3) Military families shall not be allowed to casted NO vote for sure. It's not like in 1990.
(4) Registered voters count and list is not publisized yet. It also is not released to the public till today.
(5) The list of registered voters is neither handed to any political parties nor to UN & NGOs. In 1990, every parties had the list of registered voters in town.
(6) Today; We are lost in statistics. We all don't have access yet.
Referendum is not only a political issue but also the "Game of Statistics" as well. ie. "Statistic Game" that SPDC has already played for months. I would remind you to focus on digging Statistics in any possible ways.
THEN!! "NO Vote or Vote NO" be decided by the People of Burma. I have total faith in People of Burma.
All the Best
