The NLD-LA has never been an insurgent army and has maintained a record of non-violence since its founding. It is an advocacy organization pushing for democratic, nonviolent change in Burma. Joel_S 01:08 EST 13 March 2006
Not correct. Although it has never espoused insurgency as a political strategy, NLD-LA members carried arms and wore military uniforms in and around Manerplaw (the old Karen National Union headquarters), and on occasion took part in military operations against the Tatmadaw.

Besides demanding fair elections, what does the NLD represent? In other words, what part of the political spectrum does it represent? Or is its only mission the push for fair elections and the end to military rule in Burma?
The NLD represents a true vision for Democracy, Freedom and Human Rights for the people of Burma. If the Junta would have allowed the NLD to take its role in 1990, Burma would be a very different place from what it is today. They are an official political party, with or without the Juntas "permission". PD —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdoogan ( talk • contribs) 19:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
You didn't answer the question posed by the person above. I too am also really interested in what the NLD stands for in terms of the economy, government spending, subsidies, economic development, foreign policy, ethnic federalism, etc. Up to now, the only NLD 'platform' is about bringing democracy, human rights and freedom - these are good things, but these are activism platforms, not a political platform on issues such as economic development, health, social welfare and education.
Press freedoms and freedom of expression are nice things, but they alone will not put food onto the table, a roof over peoples' heads and security in their future well being. Most other Burmese political parties also do not have these platforms - which shows a big degree of political immaturity. Proper political parties need proper electoral platforms on these matters to make it a proper democracy. Just voting for a party because you idolize the leader or based on ethnic/religious affiliations will surely lead to a dumbing down and eventual destruction of democracy (if we ever manage to get any). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.69.2.11 ( talk) 08:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
There is still no clear answer to what the NLD's political position is. 'Social democracy' can be interpreted in several ways. Should the conclusion be that the NLD has no political views? LevelBasis ( talk) 11:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I really feel sorry for have criticized U Nyan Win. During this time NLD faces an imminent danger, and I know that it will be unfair to him if I blame him again. He is only loading a big burden for the cause of democracy in Burma. Maung Reel, Bangkok. July 29, 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.175.204.10 ( talk) 14:22, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi - I have a concern about the NLD being described as a defunct political party. Just because the junta has declared it disbanded does not mean the organization has ceased to exist. I'd wait until definitive sources confirm it has stopped functioning, especially as an underground organization. Shiva (Visnu) 20:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi - Correct me if I wrong but legally the party has not been disbanded. Sure the Junta said it has been because they don't want the NLD out there unless they agree to their terms. According to the 1989 Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law they were registered as a Party. When the Junta failed to recognise the winning of the NLD they made a new 1990 Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law and new Election Law in 2008 which said all parties must register and accept the new laws, which are anything but free, fair or democratic. So if we were deciding if they were disbanded according to what they signed up to, then they are, to this day a legal party. If we go by what the Junta says with their made up laws, then they are. Suu Kyi and her lawyers are taking the case to Naypyidaw to demand the party gets official recognition from Naypyidaw. As long as the NLD exists and the NLD is in the peoples hearts in Burma. They exist.

The article says now: "The party flag features the peacock, a prominent symbol of Burma."
Correct, but the flag also features the five-pointed and filled star of communism.

We're starting to slip into a minor edit war regarding which Hluttaw seat tallies to display for the NLD (as well as a few other minor parties). I think we should stop changing the seat tally back and forth without a discussion. The style adopted across all other Myanmar political parties is that they are to display seats as of the 2015 election, not the seats held until the end of the lame duck session (of MPs elected in 2010 and 2012) on 31st January 2016. If you disagree with this consensus then can you make yourselves known and explain why? If we adopt the style here then it'll require us to change the Myanmar Political Parties template and all the other parties to reflect this, and then change them all back on 1st February 2016. If there is another discussion on this topic taking place on another page, then can you let me know where. Otherwise, could you please indicate your opinion so we can put the issue to bed and end this slow edit war. Maswimelleu ( talk) 12:20, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
