Conservative former CEO wins South Korean presidency
The rise to power of president-elect Lee’s conservative Grand National Party was expected to herald closer ties with the U.S. and a more critical view of relations with communist North Korea, which has been lavished with aid by incumbent liberal president Roh’s administration.
Yep.
Continuing:
Lee emphasized the economy in his campaign, promising to lift South Korea to among the world’s top-seven economies.
Politics 101. It’s all about the stupidity, economy.
There’s more:
‘I am very happy and it is like retaking democracy after a decade’ of liberal rule, said Lee supporter Park Mi-won.
It is amazing, isn’t it, how leftism and true democracy are mutually exclusive?
