Can someone tell me of the non-Minjoo Left? What, other then the suicide of Mr. Roe, is the reason for the problems in the Justice party from being overpassed by the Open Democrats? Why haven’t the Labor party or Minjung managed to gain much relevance, and what were they doing before about it?
The Open Democrats are basically a satellite party of Minjoo. The Minjung Party is basically a crypto pro-North Korean, left-wing nationalist party making its agenda unpalatable to most voters. About a decade ago, the soft left and social democratic types currently in the Justice Party were allied with the left-wing nationalist current in the United Progressive Party...but the party ended up splitting and then banned because one legislator was found to have advocated sabotage in the case of a US-North Korean war.
You mentioned problems facing the Justice party, can you tell us more about it?
