Scatter_88mil Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm now more interested in Korean politics than I've ever been before. Just to be helpful, if you have anything to ask about Korean politics, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it (I follow K-politics closely here, probably more than anyone else in this entire site). vancew90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 questions, 1 is a little bit unrelated to this... 1. The elections are only local? like governor? 2. Who was the guy who resigned because of the ferry thing? the president? Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the guy who resigned because of the ferry thing? the president? Thank you in advance 1) Yes, they're the sixth municipal elections. Aside from governors, it's also elections of various other figures in metropolitan councils and the like. . 2) The guy who resigned, as CaptFantasy mentioned, was ROK Prime Minister Jung Hongwon. The position of PM is still left open, though a man named Ahn Daehee (former Supreme Court judge and lawyer) was nominated before he withdrew from it due to raised concerns of alleged corruption related to earned a bit too much during his tenure as a lawyer - at least that's what the opposition party has claimed. President Park is still in position, and won't be going until four years (unless she's somehow impeached or resigns, though this is very unlikely).

Scatter_88mil Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm curious as to which side of the political spectrum the group has actually voted for, or even lean on for that matter. LOL...I've never know u follow k-politics bro...Au-politics gives me enough head ache LOL Korea is my native motherland after all, and since politics is so closely tied with history, it gets my attention quite a bit From military dictatorships to a democracy, and with a ton of infighting here and there, it makes great entertainment to see the ruling and opposition parties slam it out one another lol.

I could probably say the same for Korea lol. In any scenario the two Koreas reunite (which may likely happen in the distant future) or the current rate of politics going the same for 10-20 years, I'm willing to bet $100 that the government will very likely collapse and probably be overthrown by a military coup.
