NO MATTER who you vote for, as a wag once wrote, the government always gets in. Nowhere is such cynicism more apposite than in military-ruled Myanmar, formerly Burma, which goes to the polls on November 7th. The elections are the first to be held since 1990, when the opposition won by a landslide. The regime refused to budge, rounded up its critics and annulled the results. Democracy activists howled at these and other cruelties, and Western governments responded by isolating Myanmar’s dictatorship and imposing sanctions, to little effect.
