Seeing political circulation rapidly, it seems that new party will be formed
Why Ms. Park Geun-Hye withdrew from Grand National party in so much hurry?
Which hidden meaning is in subtle behavior of Mr. Kim Duk- Ryong and Mr. Kim Sang-Hyun?
Why did New Millennium Democratic Party (NMDP) accept flatfooted Mr. Kim.S.H, whom NMDP drove out once, again?
Why is Mr. Hhan Hwa-Kap, who ran for primary of NMDP, weighing at a party, mentioning some `big decision`?
What is the reason that Mr.Koh Gun doesn`t reveal the intention for re-election for the office of Mayor of Seoul?
Why is the name of Mr. Jeong Mong-Jun mentioned repeatedly?
And, why does `the Moderate Reform Forum`, which is known as safeguard of President Kim Dae Jung in NMDP, urges reformation steadily?
It is also observable part that Jeong Gyun Hwan, a chairman of Forum, has become a floor leader and highest member.
Ms. Park Geun Hye and Mr. Lee Soo-Sung agreed for formation of a new party.
Policy is called biology, and, we should not overlook that, though political situation is likely away from one another at a glance, infact, it has figure that it circulates covertly.
Why should it be now of all the time, nine months ahead of Presidential elections and three months ahead of local elections?
Did these things occur recently, not during 4 years current administration time as if there were no reason for movement like today?
It is likely to create multiple wave operation aiming at dramatic events before two big elections.
However, if we comprehend these revealed situations, we can come to know that it is targeting two big rivals in major elections, Lee Hoi-Chang and Rhee In –Je, who are appearing in each research results.
It is not a usual thing.
It can`t help questioning if Mr. Rhee.I.J becomes Presidential candidate in the primary then which relationship will this situation have with the above situation.
If, anyone like Mr. Rhee. I.J. is confirmed as Presidential candidate of NMDP in primary, there is no reason for them to leave NMDP.
Then, isn`t there the power which has dreadful intention, that can`t be revealed yet, will shake NMDP itself?
We should observe one thing clearly.
Which kind of pure and fresh reason as the aim for reforming party, will they display?
Is it the promotion of new party volunteers?
Isn`t there an `invisible hand`, which they even themselves don`t realize?
And, who will join the new party, after all?
There is reason why I am raising these queries.
Really, which relationship does new party have with current ruling party?
It is an enquiry, if it is a trial for re-ruling for which only signboard is changed. .
Earlier, Cheong Wa Dae side denied this strongly.
Nevertheless, there is still reason why we can`t eliminate such enquiries.
Frankly speaking, it is based on President Kim`s formidable experience regarding reformation of party that used to overturn the situation in every political undulations.
Though President doesn`t involve himself in matters related to party, but he still has the party register and he stays just behind stage.
Stir might be more comfortable.
President Kim after coming back from the U.S. in February 1985, formed Pyeong Min Party in November 1987, ahead of 13th presidential elections and general elections therefore he has made 4 parties in 15 years so far besides the above Pyeong Min Party (Democratic party, September 1991, New Politics National Meeting, September 1995, NMDP, January 2000).
It is around once in 4 years, by the way, he chose the time for all before major elections and general elections.
After failing in 14th major elections in December 1992, President Kim went to U.K. with the declaration of retiring from political world; however, he came back after 6 months and formed New Politics National Meeting.
On the day when he left Democratic Party, with members who followed him, violent meeting ensued at Swiss Grand Hotel in Seoul, till late night and still many people remember its severe scenes.
The reason why that day is being remembered now is not only because the name is similar to Democratic Party of that time and current NMDP, but also because of the feeling if the political situation becomes similar to before.
In case conflict of primary in NMDP burst out due to internal discord, it can be fatal to the future of the party and it can be an excuse for breakaway faction.
Record of President Kim`s new party shows trends that it occurs 6 to 8 months before elections.
Thereby, this birth of new party might be within April to June, indeed, such reports are coming out.
It will be revealed soon whether new party has nothing to do with ruling party or not.
At least after local elections and the time when Presidential candidate is about to be decided hidden faces will surely appear.
Politicians may conduct changing alignment of political parties leading people here and there for the sake of survival
That is why; the word of `9th grade in politics` appears, however, is it really for people?
Why political story is distorted today, political order collapsing, and political rule disappearing is due to such kind of impudence.
If `only figure is reformation`, new parties can cause only confusion.
I would like to say to `invisible hand` behind new party or to politicians who are captivated by this hand.
People are not that stupid.
