“There is no need to share” “You have to show it when you see it”… A series of hard-line arguments with 175 seats in front.
Negotiations for composition of the 22nd National Assembly expected to be difficult

Even before the 22nd National Assembly opens, there has been a strong argument within the Democratic Party that all 18 National Assembly standing committee chairs, as well as the Legislative and Judiciary Committee and the Steering Committee, should be swept out. This is interpreted as the intention of the Democratic Party, which won a total of 175 seats in the April 10 general election, including the proportional satellite party, the Democratic Alliance, to secure the right to run the National Assembly with a majority of the seats. The People Power Party strongly opposes the move, saying it is “a declaration that it will run the National Assembly arbitrarily,” so difficulties are expected in negotiations for the composition of the 22nd National Assembly.
● 175-seat Democratic Party, ‘strong offensive’ ahead of floor leader election
In a phone call on the 17th, Rep. Kim Tae-nyeon, a former floor leader who succeeded in his fifth term, said, “If a particular political party has more than 168 seats, it will have a majority in all standing committees. “In theory, the moment it exceeds 168 seats, it means that the National Assembly will return to power even if that party takes over all standing committee chair positions,” he said. He went on to add, “For the sake of smooth operation of the National Assembly, standing chairpersons have been distributed between the ruling and opposition parties, but they are not necessarily divided.” The Democratic Party, which secured 180 seats in the 21st National Assembly, took all 18 standing committee chair positions when the first National Assembly was formed. This is because the People Power Party refused to negotiate as the Democratic Party insisted on being the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. At the time, Rep. Kim conducted the negotiations as the Democratic Party floor leader.
Floor leader Hong also said, “It is right for the Democratic Party, which has the majority of seats, to be the chairman of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee, and that is the public sentiment in this general election.” He also said, “I think it is right for the majority party to be responsible for running the National Assembly as well as the steering committee.” The agencies under investigation by the steering committee include the President’s Office and have traditionally been classified as the ruling party’s responsibility.
Rep. Yoon Ho-jung, who also won his fifth term, also said on this day, “The Democratic Party must serve the will of the people by serving as the chairman of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee and the chairman of the Steering Committee of the 22nd National Assembly.” “He said. As the argument within the party that we must take a hard line from the stage of negotiations for the composition of the National Assembly is gaining strength, it is expected that related content will become a major issue in the floor leader election, which is scheduled for the 3rd of next month. The pro-Myung (pro-Lee Jae-myung) faction, which has established itself as the mainstream of the Democratic Party, is among the candidates for the floor leader who will lead the negotiations for the composition of the next House of Representatives, regardless of the player, claiming to ‘destroy the player’. Rep. Min Hyeong-bae, who is considering running for floor leader, said, “We should not conduct a popular vote-style floor leader election like we did with class president elections according to the existing Yeouido grammar,” and argued, “The will of the party members should be reflected rather than the practice of judging players.” . Until now, there have been three or more candidates running for the position of floor leader. It appears that the wind of ‘destruction of players’ will prevail even in the National Assembly Speaker election, which is traditionally contested by the most elected members of the party in the National Assembly. Rep. Kim said, “There is no law that requires the person with the most votes to be the chairman,” and issued an additional challenge to six-term Rep. Jo Jung-sik and Choo Mi-ae.
● 與 “an omnipotent dictatorial idea”
Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party, strongly protested, saying, “The fact that the opposition party wants to occupy both the Legislative and Judiciary Committee chairman and the Steering Committee chairman means that they will run riot again.” He met with reporters that day and said, “I intend to run the National Assembly arbitrarily.” Rep. Kim Ki-hyun, who served as the party leader, also said, “It is arrogance to not recognize the ruling party as a partner in state affairs,” and “It is an omnipotent dictatorial idea to remove all obstacles to the legislative rush.”
There were also opinions expressed within the party that the election of the floor leader should be brought forward in order to deal with the large opposition party in a timely manner. An elected representative from the Yeongnam region expressed concern, “If we neglect the formation of leadership in the National Assembly, we could be dragged out with our hands and feet tied from the first half of the 22nd National Assembly.” A candidate who succeeded in his third term also said, “We need to prepare thoroughly as there is already a precedent in which the Democratic Party swept the standing committee chairs in the first half of the 21st National Assembly.”
People Power Party floor leader candidates include Reps. Kim Do-eup, Kim Sang-hoon, Kim Tae-ho, and Park Dae-chul, who succeeded in the 4th term, and Reps. Lee Yang-soo, Lee Cheol-gyu, Song Eon-seok, and Choo Kyung-ho, who are in the 3rd term.
