    The presidential system is the most defunct form of democracy. Direct/parliamentary democracy is way better.

      Direct democracy needs to have some sort of concept of human rights enshrined in its system somehow, and make it very hard to violate, otherwise, it could get ugly. Mob rule isn’t always good. It could easily lead to torches and pitchfork “justice”.

        Yeah, that’s probably true. Parliamentary democracy seems like a good tradeoff.

    They’re referring to South Korea, but trying to push the narrative that there is only 1 korea.

      It is quite common for people to refer to South Korea as just korea as I’ve heard time and time again. There is also the fact that in this context, the south is implied even just in the post title alone.

      In South Korea, they just call it Korea.

      Like people from the USA call their country just “America”.

      Both Koreas agree that there is only one Korea. Everything else is different between the regimes but they agree on that point.

      You were confused? In this story about democratically electing parliaments and presidents, you needed it clarified whether they were talking about North Korea or South Korea?
