The head of South Korea's state-run overseas aid agency has offered to resign amid allegations that his appointment was influenced by a woman at the center of a corruption scandal that led to the ouster of former President Park Geun-hye, a government source said Wednesday.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system of democracy has a number of fatal flaws, even in that of the US. Taiwan is seriously affected but cannot rely on impeachment. South Korea's constitution should be changed to introduce a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. Also, the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all legislator should face election each year.
