민주노동당.. #1

As I wrote already some days before, one of the main losers of the S.K. presidential election was Kwon Young-ghil, DLP's candidate (according to Realmeter allone 14,3% of DLP's sympathizers/members voted for the extreme reactionary candidate Lee Hoi-chang!!).


DLP's leadership after realizing the first election results (12.19)


Well, here some stuff about the latest developments in the DLP, or voices in the S.K. media about DLP's future/respectively what the party should do(^^) "in order to survive":


DLP leaders to resign after election defeat (K. Herald, 12.26)


Democratic Labor Party leaders, including Chairman Moon Sung-hyun, are expected to resign en masse on Saturday, sources said yesterday.


An ad-hoc committee will be launched soon to lead the progressive party in the lead-up to April's parliamentary elections.


Factional fighting has been intensifying in the wake of the party's poor showing in the Dec. 19 presidential election. Its candidate Kwon Young-ghil garnered just 3 percent of the vote, far lower that its projection of 10 percent. He won 3.9 percent in the 2002 election.


The party's major factions discussed the matter on Sunday and tentatively agreed to dissolve its leadership...


Party members are calling for major reforms including a reshuffle of the leadership body while pro-Kwon mainstreamers argued that unity should be given priority over change.


Before y'day the "left"-liberal daily newspaper Hankyoreh published following:


The Democratic Liberal Party is also in a serious state of crisis. It calls Roh an “imitation progressive” and styles itself as the party of “true conservatives,” but voters did not take it on its word. Voters had high expectations for the DLP in the last National Assembly election and supported its entry into the legislative body. Its performance, however, was disappointing. It has consistently opposed neoliberalism, but it did not show that it had the policies and the ability to resolve the immediate suffering faced by the country’s ordinary people. More priority was given to internal factional interests in choosing its presidential candidate than to how competitive the candidate would be in the actual election, and in the course of the campaign it came up with out-of-the-blue ideas random ideas like forming a “Korean Federated Republic” with North Korea and a “Million Masses March.”


Thanks to the partial system of proportional representation, it is always possible that the DLP will have a few seats in the National Assembly. But can a party that is satisfied with this, one in which the leadership is only interested in controlling the party, really be called progressive ? How can a party that has people in it who think there is no problem with human rights and democracy in North Korea, and that North Korean nukes are an “asset to the Korean people,” forge a future reunified Korea?
