South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol survived a vote of impeachment on Saturday after the vote was boycotted by governing party lawmakers.
In another day of high drama, a number of lawmakers left parliament ahead of the vote to impeach President Yoon over his decision to impose a short-lived period of martial law earlier this week. Just two remained inside while the one governing lawmaker who returned voted against the motion.
Outside the main hall, opposition lawmakers could be heard shouting, “Go inside [the chamber]!” and calling them “cowards.”
I think ROK voters will remedy that problem in due course. Unlike American voters who’d gladly pay with their freedom today for some cheap eggs on Tuesday.
We don’t even think that far ahead unfortunately. Just think football team with red jersey, everyone else bad, ideas bad, reading bad, and you’ll have a perfect representation.
