Former general, now member of parliment, Tin Aye, has resigned from Burma's new parliment, only two weeks after it first convened. Aye was the sixth most important general in Burma before he resigned to join the USDP party in the election, and in the new government he was in the running to become defence minister, but he didn't get the job. Many analysts believe the unexpected resignation is a sign that the new government is not going to plan, as senior military figures are not happy having to share power with each other for the first time.
I feel that this resignation is the beginning of the new regime starting to fail, as Burma has not been under a democratic governemnt in half a century, and the generals turned polititions are not used to having to work together as a parliment and share their power.
