South Korea’s ruling party is to change its name for the second time in five years, it said on Monday, as it seeks to dissociate itself from the corruption scandal surrounding impeached President Park Geun-hye.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system has certain fatal flaws that plague even the US at times. South Korea needs to amend its constitution to adopt a modified semi-presidential system, and a declaration should be made at the next presidential inauguration that the nation’s highest office is above partisan politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be chosen in direct elections in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
