Now Post the History of North Korean Democracy......​

No president was killed or imprisoned. There are no foreign occupation troops in the country and even the United States has to reckon with its military force.

Democratic presidents of South Korea received only democratic percentages from the population. See the result in the first post.

What do they say?

Well, I guess that it says that a person should think twice or even thrice before running for President of the Republic of Korea.

What this thread is about? That South Korea's democracy is 'bad' in comparison with North Korea's autocracy? I think one should be not too bright to actually claim that.

The way of South Korea to actual democracy wasn't smooth and perfect. As wasn't Taiwan's. But they were right in the end.

You have an information that current president will not go to jail? O.K.
By the way, when Stalin imprisoned anyone, including generals and people's commissars, of course, it was totalitarianism and a terrible crime, but when this happens in South Korea, it is the path of democracy. Don't mix it up!

When is the next election in North Korea?

When is the next election in North Korea?

Probably when the queen is democratically elected in England...

How old are you, kid? In South Korea, a person who holds the highest post can be imprisoned. It is not they who can imprison anyone.

And now get back to the school and learn what a basic logic is.

The North Korean dictatorship is ok because England has a queen?

I guess the democrat party in the U.S. was taking lessons from S.K.
