History
The party was established by Dobama Asiayone founder U Ba Sein in the early 1950s.[1] The party had some support from Buddhist monks and, seeing itself as a right-wing alternative to the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, it joined the People's Democratic Front to contest 1951–52 general elections, with the alliance winning 19 seats.[2]
It ran alone in the 1956 elections, but received just 2.9% of the vote and failed to win a seat. Its vote share fell to 0.1% in the 1960 elections, in which it again failed to enter Parliament.[1]

gollark: I see. Well, if you write/find DFPWM to/from... raw signed ints, or something... conversion, I'll look at implementing that.
gollark: Waaaait, wouldn't I need to implement a DFPWM encoder/decoder somehow?
gollark: PotatOS doesn't actually use libdatatape anywhere but the dump/load programs.
gollark: So, frequency shift keying or something?
