The Open Democratic Party ( ko, 열린민주당) was a liberal political party in South Korea formed on 8 March 2020. The Party was absorbed back into the Democratic Party of Korea unconditionally on 14 January 2022. History On 28 February 2020, Chung Bong-ju, a former Democratic MP, announced his intention to form a new party. He had initially launched his bid to run for Seoul Gangseo 1st constituency for 2020 election under the Democratic banner but was disqualified by the party due to controversies including sexual harassment. He, however, declared not to run for the election.

Conservatism
Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy that seeks to promote and to preserve traditional institutions, practices, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilization in which it appears. In Western culture, conservatives seek to preserve a range of institutions such as organized religion, parliamentary government, and property rights. Conservatives tend to favor institutions and practices that guarantee stability and evolved gradually. Adherents of conservatism often oppose modernism and seek a return to traditional values, though different groups of conservatives may choose different traditional values to preserve. The first established use of the term in a political context originated in 1818 with François-René de Chateaubriand during the period of Bourbon Restoration that sought to roll back the policies of the French Revolution. Historically associated with right-wing politics, the term ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Independent Politician
An independent or non-partisan politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party, and therefore choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level. In running for public office, independents sometimes choose to form a party or alliance with other independents, and may formally register their party or alliance. Even where the word "independent" is used, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Future Korea Party
The Future Korea Party (), stylised as Future KOREA Party, was a political party in South Korea formed on 5 February 2020. History The party was formed as a satellite party to the Liberty Korea Party (LKP) in order to run for the proportional seats in the 2020 elections, taking advantage of the new electoral law. The party chose the name of Proportional Liberty Korea Party ( ko, 비례자유한국당), emphasizing their relationship with the LKP. However, the National Election Commission disallowed parties from using "Proportional (비례)" in their names, which forced the party to adopt the current name. The party chose "Future (미래 ''Mirae'')" that is pronounced similar to "Proportional (비례 ''Birye'')". On 5 February 2020, the party took the official formation convention and elected Han Sun-kyo as its President by acclamation, while Cho Hun-hyun was named the Secretary-General. All of its MPs were originally LKP MPs who declared they would not seek re-election at th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
