When it first met in January 2011, stuffed with the pliant USDP victors of the rigged 2010 election and the 25% army block, the parliament did look like the rubber-stamping institution it was intended to be. But under the energetic leadership of the Speaker of the lower house, Shwe Mann, a former general and a member of the ruling military junta, it has become feisty, unpredictable and unafraid to challenge the president. Like many other opposition MPs from the minority ethnic parties, Oo Hla Saw, the head of the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP), says that whereas in the early days of the parliament his questions on subjects like federalism and wealth-sharing in the states were banned, now "we can discuss these openly...it's very positive and we are very happy about this." Win Htein, a senior NLD MP elected in the by-elections of April 2012, says that parliament is now "very lively". Even the USDP members are taking part more as regular lawmakers than as placemen for the army, judging proposals on their merits.
