South Korea’s Snap Election Likely to Be Held on June 3rd
The DPK leader Lee Jae-myung has a clear advantage going into the snap election caused by former President Yoon’s impeachment due to his name recognition. It will be interesting if any member of the PPP can consolidate support to effectively take him on in such a short campaign timeframe:

The date for the election has not yet been decided, but acting President Han Duck-soo is expected to designate the date during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday. It is most likely to be held on June 3, exactly 60 days after Yoon’s ouster was finalized.
Amid this tight schedule, the country’s major rival parties — Yoon’s conservative People Power Party (PPP) and the more liberal Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) — are expected to launch election preparations this week, setting up respective election committees that will decide on a road map for their primaries and campaign plans.
If the election date is set for June 3, the parties must determine and register their candidates by May 11, a day before the official campaign period launches. Those currently serving as local office chiefs or ministers have to resign at least 30 days before the election if they want to join the race, meaning by May 4.

South Korea, like any pseudo-democracy, deserves exactly what they vote for.
And they will likely get globalists who destroy their economy.
Totalitarians never increase the wealth of the masses, improve their education, or reduce their toil.
Remember that while you watch the taxpayer’s Won burn…

By the way, are there any clear and truthful summaries of what the two main parties support? What do they oppose beside each other?
I can’t see how anyone particularly likes either one at this point.
But that’s okay. I’m certain Korean voters know and will vote according to their own best interests.

Why the sudden interest @setnaffa?
You should have realized by now that your twisted extreme right wing idealogies do not work here in Korea.
Go back to the MAGA world you came from or better yet to Russia.
MAGA people are making comments about pseudo democracy, while we look at their messed-up country that’s crashing and burning due to one orange maglomaniac. This has to be April 1… oh wait.. we’re past that day.
Trump was elected president, winning the popular vote, with the promise to do exactly what he is doing.
America is experiencing democracy, perhaps like never before.
Our instant gratification snowflake society expects problems to all be solved within weeks with absolutely no sacrifice… and we are going to hear nothing but whining and doom for a year or two… but for those smart enough to see the clear vision that America has been promised and recognize Trump is leading on the pathway there, it is a pleasure to watch.
Those who can’t take care of themselves are going to be noisy and irritating.
LOL, right deluded MAGA. This is the first time I’ve ever heard that it’s “democracy” at work where everyone votes for self-immolation and Juche. Still clinging to the cult, while your nation is undergoing crashing and burning. It’s a self-induced stagflation due to hatred of other nations, visible minorities, with a national victim complex that everyone supposedly ripped you off. Hatred is costly.
And I suppose you know better than all the economists? I know that you MAGAs don’t believe in facts or truths, and depend solely on wishful thinking.
The economists are saying the best scenario for the US is Stagflation.
If stagflation is the best scenario to hope for, what’s the worst case scenario? Depression and a possible economic collapse into chaos?
“And I suppose you know better than all the economists?”
I knew better than all the medical experts who said the covid vaccine was 100%, 99.8%, breakout cases are exceedingly rare but they do happen, over 90%, 85%, keeps you out of the hospotal, never said you wouldn’t catch covid, keeps you from dying, etc.
Thirty years ago, I predicted there would still be snow and NYC wouldn’t be underwater.
I went on about the Deeo State and Administrative State, and here we are.
Monkeypox and Murder Hornets and Killer Bees and Global Cooling and Weather Weirding and..
This list goes on in many small ways.
I probably don’t know better than all the economists.
But I DO know better than all the economists getting media attention.
You know nothing. You’re just a maggot believing in magic potions sucking on Donald Trump’s orange dick.
You know who is the smartest one? Kamala Harris. All the predictions about Trump, that Harris made during the election time, have come true.

Sixteen Nobel Laureates supported her economic policy, yet the US chose that orange dud instead, simply due to hatred. Well, hatred has an expensive price attached to it.
Harris was wrong about one thing, though. She predicted that under Trump, the US will be in a recession by the middle of next year. Well, it didn’t even take that long, and the US isn’t just facing a recession. They’re facing at least stagflation, and possibly a financial meltdown and economic collapse.
Korea Thing obviously gets his investment advice from Jim Cramer.
Who is always wrong.
simply due to hatred
More like wanting to eliminate wokeness and globalism, but similar.
Well, hatred has an expensive price attached to it.
I don’t think @GIKorea, @setnaffa, and the Setnaffarians realize that. Their loss.
