Wow, I know almost nothing about South Korea.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

What is your opinion on this topic, Al? It'd be cool to see your insight instead of your disdain.

Korea and Japan don't share a present or recent (ie slightly longer than the oldest roots of the Japanese party system) past, you'd have to be a determinist racist to think they ought to have a similar party system.

Korean culture is or at least fancies itself considerably closer to Chinese than to Japanese culture, too.
