san suu kyi. and these are very, very popular politicians, aung san suu kyi is enormously popular. the election result was clearly in herfavour, her party won 80% of the seats in the main parliament. so this is not going to go unopposed and it's a very risky move by the military. one thing i think may be unlikely is they overthrow the constitution. the constitution is their own constitution, they spent years drafting it, gives them enormous powers, unlike thailand, which has coups and constitutions as often as most people have changes of government. in myanmar, i think, it would be a big deal. it is likely they will stick to a state of emergency. frankly, the military has set a path which is fraught with huge issues. the anger over this move, over a move against a government that has just won a resounding election victory, albeit there were complaints of irregularities. but the election commission judged that those simply could not have altered the result. and when you look at how well aung san su
