Who will win corrupt ajosshis A or corrupt ajosshis B.. should be a rivetting contest..

I couldn't give a rat's ***

could you?

[peppermint]

I'm kind of interested- more because it's shaping up to be based along generational lines and that should be fun to watch. Besides, I teach freetalking tomorrow morning, and that's what my students wil want to talk about.

I met the leader of the GNP a few weeks back at the impeachment protests a few weeks ago, in my role as occasional freelance journalist. She speaks reasonable english.

well being Canadian and never get to use the phrase give a toss

Im gonna say that I really don't give a toss about it. only cared that i didnt get the day off

[Sparkster]

Day off good - Korean politics pish!

It would appear that they are all pretty much crap at their jobs and corrupt.......and if I have to read another "impeachment" story in the newspaper I will scream. No really, you may hear me doing it.

BORING

I scold people in Canada for not giving a piss about politics... but here there really are reasons for not caring:

-all the parties and leaders are corrupt to the core
-we won't be here long enough to benefit from different policies anyways
-none of us can vote in the first place

I once wrote a paper for a poli-sci class about South Korea's transition to democracy, but these days I couldn't give a dog's tonkers.

Well you've got to be pretty impressed at the level of tactical incompetance that the MDP has shown. To go from the party that nominated the last president to having leadership fights AFTER the party split to probably ending up with with less seats than the far-left DLP.

God what idiots, when you're basically the center party (Uri and GNP being left and right basically) it doesn't take much brains to realize that if something happens to really polarize the nation then all of the votes are going to go left and right, and what does MDP do? It does the most polarizing thing possible, try to oust the President.

I'm trying to wrack my brain for a better example a political party committing suicide so impressively and I can't think of any examples, maybe Canada's Progressive Conservatives?

I give a toss because if the unrest finally settles down, corrupt or not they can finally get around to governing the country.
Governing the country well = tunnel to Japan, space agency, etc. happen a little bit quicker. Also I'll be able to bug politicians that have real clout and maybe get some better answers than I have so far.

I wonder how different things will be now that the Uri Party will control the assembly. The first "left leaning" party to do so.

The campaigning spectactle ws rather amusing, I have to admit. The light shows. The younger candidates using event girls to get their message across. (like anyone would be paying attention to the candidate as he talked) And I loved how practically every candidate's word of choice on their poster was "Clean."

Yeah right.

Maybe I *should* have paid a bit more attention, to see if any candidates had anti-foreigner axes to grind, but as I can't vote, it doesn't make so much difference anyways.
